Wild West Exodus Continues The Exclusive Sneak Peeks
August 15, 2013 by brennon
Wild West Exodus is continuing to show off more from their upcoming miniatures range and as well as some Pinkertons we also have another exclusive sneak peek for the Enlightened Boss Eiffel.
First up we have said Pinkertons with their rather fashionable attire and awesome looking weaponry. These fellows work for the Union army and form a potent combination on the battlefield.
And for the exclusive today we have...
"Gustave Eiffel was known for his amazing metal creations, but with Dr. Carpathian calling he could not turn the offer down. Eiffel has taken his knowledge of metal work and structural engineering to help Dr. Burson Carpathian take control of the old west. His six legged spider bot is just one of the many creepy and deadly creations that Eiffel will bring to the Enlightened. Carpathian, Edison, and Eiffel stand to be a serious force to overcome in this new and deadly land."
Some great looking additions to the range and worth a second look, especially if you're at Gen Con this year! See what you can find out from the folks over there and get shootin' and tootin'!
What do you think of the range?
Really happy to see Eiffel in the flesh at last. Was a bit worried that the spider would be too big, but I love how Eiffel is sitting in his cockpit. This is one spider I would not like to hit with a rolled up newspaper, 😛
Liking the Pinkerton and Courtright too, the paint job really makes the features and fine details pop. There is a lot to be happy about for me today.
😀 <—See?

Ha ! very cool !
It’s actually a good Eiffel likeness.
Where’s Will Smith’s Jim West in all this?
A giant spider? Really? The best they got is to rip off a horrible Will Smith movie? I mean look, everyone is entitled to their opinion of what works and what doesn’t. Lord knows there are things that I love that others can’t stand. But I think somebody should say that just because you’re part of a particular industry that it doesn’t mean you know everything about it. Mini War Gaming tried to do a game. Saw it for about ten minutes then nothing. Even Rick P. couldn’t get that Gates Of Whatever thing going and everyone knows him.
It could be that I’m just old and jaded. Having seen so many things come and go. But I feel that just because your good at making miniature bags, doesn’t mean you have it all. Most will think I’m wrong. In the end I may very well be. Who knows.
Think that is a bit harsh.
Spider walkers are fairly ubiquitous these days. Shoving it into a steampunk WW setting doesn’t mean it has been ripped off from anything
@spaderfish,
No one is saying you are wrong with your viewpoint mate, if it isnt your cup of tea there is othing wrong with that. 🙂 I think the only issue is that I dont really see your issue. Eiffel looks an awesome model to me and the theme of WWX seems new for wargaming imho. Every genre of gaming could be closely described by a video of some type, the fact that Will Smiths movie is the only one that can be called upon to offer a likeness is a compliment as far as I can tell. The industry has been wanting something new for many years now and we see numerous Zombie, humanity struggling against evil in space and also fantasy Orcs, Orks and Orx all of which have a myriad of videos which are similar. I would like to understand your view on this but listing a cliched list of negative words doesnt really help us understand your issue. 🙁
With regards to Battle Foam and Outlaw Miniatures LLC, if I was the head of a big company known for high grade quality items (which I was sceptical about before I got my Infinity Alpha bag) think I would throw every penny I had at the chance of developing my own line of.mi iatures for a wargame that I could make. The fact that BF and OM is based in Arizona sorta makes sense that they have an interest n cowboys and indians imho. Sorry if you do not agree @spaderfish, but there is a large growing community of upbeat fnas for this, in which I am one and I have to say that the WWX forum is a really nice place to be as there are so many smiling faces (I am a moderator on the forum too, just to make you aware of my bias. Hehe. 🙂 )
I hope you can find some enjoyment in the fans passion for this game. I am 37 and it feels great to feel like a fan boy of this project and its journey. 🙂 please do not read this as a chest poking, I guess when you feel good about something you really hope that the feeling is infectious. 😀

I take your point. To clarify mine I would just say this. As I have begun looking to games made outside the sphere of the GW that dominated my youth, I see only so many seats at the table. As it’s all still a niche industry by comparison to most, with GW still taking the lions share, I want anything else that comes down the pipe to feel like its really going in a new direction. Having said that my background is in film and television here in America so it’s quite possible that my experiences with projects in that arena are clouding my judgement. Especially the number of failures that come from projects based in the western / steampunk style. It just doesn’t seem new and exciting enough for me. Not far enough away from others projects that fell flat.
But let it be remembered that my opinions are my own. My comments are solely a reflection of a personal look at the industry and are in no way meant to discourage others from supporting anything lest readers think otherwise. I you love an idea then by all means support it.
Thanks for clarifying that @spaderfish. 🙂 I am not sure which way to steer you im affraid. I think most games will have dice throws etc but skirmish games do feel different and more tactical. Infinity may be a good one to check out as the rule set can be basic to start with but introduce all the rules and you have one hell of a detailed game with great books, campaigns, art and models. This is produced by a company called Corvus Belli in Spain and they are really great guys. 🙂 BoW have done 3x week coverages for this game and describe fluff, game play mechanics and model reviews ( which may as well be redundant as everything they produce is awesome!!! Some of the older models are like some of other companies best minis in my opinion.
Hope this helps mate and feel free to message me if you need help or just want to chat about ot. 🙂
Hope you find what you are looking for as it must be frustrating being in limbo looking for a system to play. 🙁

“Hope you find what you are looking for as it must be frustrating being in limbo looking for a system to play”
The real frustration is not being able to play them all!
So many great games I ain’t even gonna get a sniff at! lol
I should state that this process is an overall growth away from GW not a recent one. For several years now I have enjoyed Infinity and have many of their models. I find It a fantastic product with high quality all around. My references are to the specific genre that WWE is based in. I guess the whole Cowboys and Indians thing has just been done a lot over here in the states and feels somewhat dated as a concept. Where as a wild west game or TV program in say Japan, would be a great departure from the norm and seen as more daring or different.
That being said I am very excited about the new CMON Kickstarter for Wrath Of Kings, despite it being set in a fantasy world with all manner of beasts and such as seen many a time before. I’m positive there are those who would cry havoc at how old hat that idea may seem. But to each his own. Fortunately for the hobby, while seating is limited, there may still be a few golden tickets left by the door. Game well.
