Wild West Exodus Bows Down To The Holy Order Underboss
March 27, 2014 by brennon
Wild West Exodus has previewed some more of the Holy Order with the mighty Underboss making an appearance over on their Facebook page. See what you think of this titanic knight.
He is quite the beast and comes on a rather large base to reflect that. As one person pointed out it looks a little bit like Space Marines met the Protectorate of Menoth and got given an epic sword.
With these folks you get an inspiring leader who will be directing his troops into battle and then diving head first into the fray. I can't wait to see one of them painted up.
Do you like this design?
whats it got to do with the wild west?
The Holy Order of Man or HOM, is an ancient group made of of people from all over the world. Some will have a western flair wile others will not. Also some of the characters like the one above have armor and weapons infused with power from one of the relics and passed down through the centuries, until needed.

Its really not a blatant deviation. The Holy Order of Man is at the very hart of the game fluff. And as frankle mentioned the hired hands will have much more of a western flair. Also don’t for get there will be other factions that wont fit the western motif later on as well. The Golden Army will be one. We haven’t really seen anything on them yet but from description they will look more Spanish Conquistador… But that make sense given the fact they are coming up from South America and Mexico. This game has a lot of cool… Read more »
I like the fact that they are breaking the motif a little. Keep in mind that the Holy Order Hired Hands looks much more western. The bosses/underbosses and maybe the sidekicks are more knight-like since they have relics. The Holy Order in America is also based in New England so they aren’t suppose to be local.
Spartan Space Marine really seems out of place no matter the fluff.
I hope he remembers to hydrate. It it going to hot under all that armor, out in the bad lands during a high noon stand off.
I do like the unique look, some of the other factions look a little samey. I wonder what the golden army will look like.
