Furnish Your Wild West Exodus Boards Mid-November
November 4, 2013 by brennon
Wild West Exodus is fast becoming a favourite for us here at Beasts of War, especially with all this interesting background fiction also fleshing out the world at the same time. As well as the models and the literature there has to be some flashy terrain for it too right? Well that's where Micro Art Studios come in...
The houses and other buildings that you're seeing here are all a slightly larger scale than you might have seen from Micro Art Studios in the past, especially with their Infinity buildings. This is because the whole scale of Wild West Exodus is bigger coming in at 35mm, so it had to be!
As mentioned the terrain is suitable for Wild West Exodus but the scale isn't that off that they couldn't be used for games of Malifaux too. With all the new models coming out for the 2nd edition of the game from Wyrd it would be worth having some epic terrain to go along with it.
I'm a big fan of the buildings, all created using HDF and including some acrylic additions for the detail. I must say though that considering you'd think I'd go for the big buildings my favourites are actually the smaller cottages.
I think those cottages give a much more lived in feel to a board and could also be mixed and matched with a variety of other games too making them even more flexible.
As great as Malifaux and Wild West Exodus undoubtedly are I'd also really, really love to do a Firefly Role-Play using these buildings, 'Sci-Fi'd' up a little to give them a bit more of a space feel and then go crazy with some bandit action.
Blackwater Gulch even do a posse just like the Firefly crew! Some very epic looking buildings I think you'll agree and all out towards mid-November.
What do you think?
These do look nice but I prefer the stuff that’s out already from Battleflag (http://www.wargame-buildings.com/old-west-deluxe-kits.html) although bit of pain that the roof shingles have to be bought separately.
4Ground also have some lovely pieces already out there (http://www.4ground.co.uk/Default.aspx?page=314) which have the advantage, for the time-pressed, of being pre-painted so it takes no time at all to get it put together.
The 4Ground stuff is absolutely breathtaking. The hangman’s gallows has a working trapdoor! With a lever! Saw it at the Warlord open day and only just managed to resist walking away with arms full of the stuff.
I’ve got a Battleflag building and that was great fun to put together but, yeah, the 4Ground stuff is amazing. Saw their stuff at a show and the guys were really helpful. As you say, hard to resist! Did most of my drooling between them and Aintsy Castings mine set, if I had brought a fuller wallet I would have emptied it between the two 😉
@Yarr, You do realise that those that you have linked are only 28mm? WWX is a 35mm game, so MAS designed these especially for the game, I am not aware of any other 35mm Wild West scenery out there. A German guy (Darnok) on the WWX forum has some of these and his reports are very favourable indeed. 🙂
Ah, didn’t realise WWX was 35mm. Isn’t everything 28mm? 😉
These look great I am wonder if they are close enough in scale that you could use them for a Savage Worlds: Deadlands campaign.
These will be great. I really need to start focusing on terrain
Picked a few of these up at SPIEL last weekend. Very nice indeed!
Pictures or it didn’t happen!!…… Actually don’t do that, the last photo I saw of you in a little pink number hurt my eyes, hehe. 😉
Hope you had fun at Essen.
All I could see looking at these was Malifaux. I’m glad you pointed that out too Brennon cause they will be perfect.
