Wild West Exodus’ Kickstarter Goes From Strength To Strength
February 18, 2013 by brennon
The Wild West Exodus Kickstarter is one that has us rather excited and we're looking forward to how it all looks in the end. However, there is still just under a month left of the fundraiser so let's check out some of the amazing artwork and renders for future models...
First up we have a look at some renders for the heavy weapons and alternative boss poses. I have to say that the Warrior Nation might just have to be my army of choice simply because of this strange yet effective mix of the futuristic and the native. And they have Werewolves...
Next are some looks at the big transport choices in the game so far. These are some fairly monstrous pieces and I can imagine it taking quite a while to get this kit together, let alone paint it. The bases alone for these are huge!
And last but certainly not least is this look at some big personalities that can make a name for themselves in your warband. I think now you can see why I like the Warrior Nation.
I really am a big werewolf/were-anything fan and seeing the way these concept art pieces look I might have to pick him up even if it's just to paint up.
Justin is certainly liking the way this Kickstarter is going...
"It’s one of those days here at BoW HQ that makes me glad to work here! The guys over at Wild West Exodus have sent in a copy of the first of their comic books and one of their Animated Brutes!
I’ve taken a little time to read the comic and look at the mini and I’m liking what I see. The comic is giving us our first real look at this world and from the way things are going it looks to be the beginnings of a titanic war with shadowy dealings between the religions of the world, while the Union chase across America toward their prey. The Natives of the land are also active, following the commands of their great spirit.
Will you save the world or watch it burn?"
Have you pledged to this particular fundraiser?
not normally a western fan but this has piqued my interest a little. one to watch methinks
I have pledged at the level where you get 2 forces, still tempted to up the pledge
Great minis!! and 35mm which seems a nice idea imo. I am holding off of the kickstarter as I think this is gonna make me a poor poor man. OFC I will donate something before the end, I just want all the expensive stuff to be sold before I click, hehe. 😛
Opting out of this one, like I opted out of Rivet-Wars… There’s just too much cool stuff that I’d want to collect everything, and pledge alot…. and my wallet would keep me up at night crying of starvation. I know that this will be released, so I’ll wait until then.
But have you not heard that you have 2 kidneys and can live with just one? = Happy days 😀
cant wait to get my hands on the Abe Lincoln model he looks like a total boss 🙂
BoW Justin
I can’t help but think that if these models truly look as good as these pictures and are produced in plastic, they could be a major player in the hobby. Can’t wait to see them in the flesh!
This looks SO good…
I pledged just to get the mad steampunk scientists and their animated henchmen retinue, but all of those figures look gorgeous !
Its between this and the Empire of the Dead kickstarter. While I’m saving some money on Gates of Antares coming down 🙁 my wallet can still only afford one. Not to mention that Mutant Chronicles look intresting.
I pledged but have since reduced my pledge to $1 because at the moment I’m only interested in skirmish games and by the looks of this they can’t really keep it at skirmish level.
I’ll save my money for the upcoming Arena Rex kickstarted.
@Maddgame: I think it will be as skirmishable as Warmahordes, meaning that like Outlaw stated them self, you could play with half a dozen figures (less henchmen and more under bosses) with no problems regarding fun or playability.
Have backed this, cant wait for them to ship it already, looking forward to getting some games of this in at TTN, gives you guys lots of time to get some nice 35mm scale wild west boards built, i think this will be very popular, im also liking the trend towards larger scales models at the moment giving more opportunity for detail.
For WWX terrain, perhaps lollypop sticks would make nice custom made cabins? Wilko’s sell them in bags or you can buy lots of ice creams and get one free in each pack, 🙂
http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/kids-crafts/wilko-wooden-sticks-pack-of-50/invt/0316896?VBMST=lollypop%20stick 85p for 50!! these must grow on trees for this price!!! (contains NO ice cream though).
Am putting up $220 towards this one it is the only kickstarter that has gotten my interest. At the rate that is is getting backed it should do well. Will be playing the Enlightened and the Outlaws to start. I really want Effile and his spider.
OMG!!! twin linked assault cannon on a horse!!! Me need one of dem!!
Just remembered how much I hate metal miniatures, so I cancelled my pledge for Empire of the Dead, so now I’ll have another $100 or so to throw at this KS. Love the kind of plastic models that you can glue with plastic glue! 😀
For terrain I highly recommend the world works games deadfall stuff, ok its papercraft, but still looks pretty darn, um, err, pretty
Pledged as soon as I saw it just due to the overall theme and quality of the mini’s, but also loving the idea of the comic tie-in… Extra fluff plus they’re using it to add new scenarios etc 🙂
AHHHHHHH!!! They have included another Repulsive level pledge! This is gonna hurt me as I was waiting for them to sell out in order to protect my bank balance. May need to seek therapy now or find a lonely old rich lady that is about to pop her clogs. 😛 Judging by previous games, I thought this would get a higher response tbh, especially due to the quality and amount of content. Gamers skint? or maybe just lurking in a cupboard waiting to pounce out with their Blankedy Blank cheque book and pen? 😛 Only decision for me is more… Read more »
They’ve still got a while to go :). Given that a lot of ks only run for 30 days, they’ve got a nice head start with 29 days to go… Having said that I do think a few of the usual ks crowd are probably tapped out with all the great ks happening recently (and currently) 🙂
Agreed matey. I bet most of the guys that have tapped out are on here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/231972546936646/ 😛
My DnD group is switching to Deadlands and I am thinking of trying my hand as the DM.
How Boss am I going to look when I break out a giant steampunk spider and a Indian with a gatlin gun?
P.S did these guys exactly copy there idea from Deadlands?
Your gonna look more than Boss! They are gonna all want your babies, hehe. 🙂
I don’t even own a Tabletop Wargame yet and this game looks totally badass!!!
Looks like a good place to start to me !
What type of gaming are you wanting to get into matey? You certainly get a HUGE amount for your money with WWX, but there is no harm starting with something else while you wait for the glorious day to come (September). 😀 Hope you have fun with your new pastime. It will certainly bring out emotions you never thought you had. JOY with your first proper victory, EXCITEMENT when you have painted your first badass looking army, SADNESS when you drop a awesome model by accident and an arm falls off, DRAINED when you play the “OTT rules geek” that… Read more »
Been looking at this on facebook and kickstarter looks amazing i love the cowboy theme to the world with the sifi twist thinking i may put down on this one.
These would be great for Deadlands.
$135,000 stretch goal reached guys 😀 om nom nom more juicy WWX goodness on its way 🙂
$145,000 Reached!! and a new pledge level $999 is gonna get me arrested for armed robbery in a post office!!!!
next up: $155,000 Battlefoam bag. I think that is pretty expensive for a bag, but thats with 20% off!!! hehehe The opportunity there was to good to miss 😀
Almost to $155,000 but Battlefoam Bags have been added and also 2 more minis to pledges Shameless ($325) and above. Corrupt has the Big and small Battlefoam bag 😀
How much can you get for selling a kidney these days? And livers regenerate dont they? Hmmmmmm /ponders 🙂
Hell of a bargain on the Corrupted pledge level guys! apparently there is a few surprises in store for that level to. Glad I have just jumped on that band wagon!
Now @Chibi, where is the hug? 😛 hehe
