Wayward Eight & Hex Beasts Up For Pre-Order For Wild West Exodus
May 4, 2018 by brennon
Two new sets of models have been added into the mix for Wild West Exodus by Warcradle. First off we have the Wayward Eight Posse which shows off a selection of new characters who might be familiar.
Here's a lowdown on this new Posse...
"Marcus Wayward is the charismatic and cocksure leader of his crew. Marcus treats his Posse like a large dysfunctional family and this has led to more than one falling out within this close-knit team. That said, when the job is at hand they pull together and get it done."
"From the dependable Hicks Kincade and his wife Zarelda, the technical prodigy Kay Free, the gun-happy Jake Mattia, the manipulative Sierra Icarus, to the protective Sun Totem and the enigmatically alien Flowing River, the Wayward Eight are as varied but reliable a band of Outlaws as you are likely to find on the Frontier. Providing the cause is just (or the job pays well) you'll be able to hire this respectable gang!"
The Wayward Eight also come as a Starter Set as well which gives you all the rules you need as well.
From the heroes (or maybe anti-heroes) of the story to something a little darker and more insidious. They also showed off the new Hex Beasts Pack which gives you some slavering monsters to snap up.
All of these models are looking very neat indeed and show off some fascinating projects to paint up. I love all the weird and wonderful warped shapes they have in play here.
"Monstrous and volatile, the Hex Beasts are not only common amongst the armies of the Hex but may also appear in other armies should tainted units fall to their corruption and transform. This resin boxed set contains five detailed monstrous miniatures."
Make sure to delve into this collection and let us know if you're picking up these new characters. We'd love to see someone paint up the Wayward Eight and show off the work on this set of characters.
What do you think?
"I love all the weird and wonderful warped shapes they have in play here..."
Wayward Eight Posse looks really good but Hex Beasts are star of those models.
Well I picked up the Deadly Seven would be rude not to get the Wayward Eight.
I must concur my good man. I shall be led by your example.
There’s a certain…. Serenity about the Wayward Eight…
And the names of Malcolm, Zoey, Wash, River, Anara, Jane, Kaylee come to mind…
The posse an the hex beast’s look fab.
I have precisely no WWX, but these may go on my Expo List.
Love the Wayward Eight 😀 . They are definitely going on the WWX purchase list.
Has the WWX 2nd edition book come out? How have things changed from the first edition?
Are Aliens taking over the western theme?
Yes they released a new version of the game. I don’t like to call it a 2nd edition because it’s a completely different set of rules and the fluff is greatly changed as well. “Wild West” is becoming an afterthought in the game IMO. Definitely more sci-fi than it used to be. Due to these issues as well as others I sold just about all my WWX stuff and left the game. Some people like the new version, but it’s just not for me.
WWX 2nd Edition came out some time ago, several months at least.
They were giving away free rulebooks (A5 soft back) if you registered, but that that may be out of the window now.
All the rules are available as free PDF from the website and have errata since the books were first printed.
Although I had a 1st edition starter, I never got around to playing it, so can’t comment on the changes.
Not sure about the aliens, but there’s definitely steampunk and magic involved.
