Wild West Exodus Welcomes The Holy Order Very Soon!
May 7, 2014 by brennon
Wild West Exodus have a whole bunch of awesome Holy Order Miniatures up for pre-order on their site and we've grabbed a few of them to take a look at! Let's see what you think of these religious individuals!
First up we have some of the character miniatures from the Holy Order with Abner leading two rather awesome looking paladin types into battle. I have a soft spot for religious zealots in games and these look right up that alleyway. Armour wise these chaps are looking brilliant and there looks to be plenty of detail in them there plates.
You can't of course do much fighting without some men and women to fight alongside you and the Holy Order has a fair few Hired Hands that look very dynamic and interesting. I love the third singular miniature I posted whose sprinting towards the enemy. Awesome detail once again that you hope continues over to the final sculpts.
It's also a good chance to show off some brilliant looking vehicles and first up we have the Spear of Light. This looks like a mean piece of kit and will be turning bones to powder as it rolls over it's enemies. I think I'd feel safe sitting on one of these with those twin guns pointed at my foe.
On second thoughts I might be more happy to sit inside the Pillar of Light instead. I like the steam train design to the whole thing that is even a feature of the wheels and how they move. Twin that with a massive gun on the top and this could well be the moving fortress you need to instill some religious order to proceedings.
Will you join the order?
Yet again I see myself drooling over the Hired Hand models, especially the quality of the plastic range. The bikes are looking tasty too and hope they will be able to cast these fast enough to meet demand as I am sure it will be high. Pillar of light looks anything but light though, hehe. 😀
I absolutely love this game. The mini’s are just exellent and the rules are simple enough to learn over a couple of games but dont take away from the tactical side of play at all.
Wasnt to bothered about the Holy Order when i heard it was coming but now I’ve seen it… well, lets put it this way, i hope the wife isnt holding her breath waiting for me to buy the wallpaper for the kitchen…
@broadside Hope you dont mind but I liked your colour scheme on your marshalls so much I sort of borrowed it
More fantastic looking models from Outlaw Miniatures. This game is breaking my bank account wide open….. Just a note for those who may not know. The Holy Order of Man models are set to release at Gencon.
I haven’t yet made the limbo jump to 35mm scale, but if the sculpts are anything like the renders, this is definitely a series to keep an eye on. I’m swamped with 28mm models at the moment, but I could see building a collection of these down the line.
Might be a good idea to kickstart a boardgame version of this as a gateway drug? The success of Shadows over Brimstone would suggest that there is a market for Weird Western boardgames.
Well now I’m torn between these guys and the Union for my starting faction.
Though I have to say I’m not that big of a fan of the spiked hoods some of the hired hands are wearing.
The truck reminds me or the taxies from dredd with a plough and gun added.
I haven’t bought into WWX yet. This faction is the first to fully grab my attention. I like the look of them. If anyone in my area ever starts playing I’ll be a Holy Order guy. Good looking stuff.
I have one huge criticism of 35mm true scale models…they are ruining all other models for me. 🙂 I have always been heavily in 28mm heroic scale models. Now, thanks to WWX’s excellent range, every time I look at a 28mm heroic mini it is starting to look deformed and cartoony. I’ve been steadiliy collecting Union for a while now. But this is probably going to end up being a second faction for me. I’m reserving a sizable chunk of my Gencon budget to buy these guys up when I go. And I’ve also really enjoyed the few games that… Read more »
Dammit I like almost all the factions apart from the union and warrior factions I can’t chooses who to get
