Subject: Wild West Exodus Miniatures Game Info and New Releases!
To follow up on the previous Kickstarter post about Wild West Exodus, I wanted to get out more info about the game and getting access to the game over the next few months as everything goes into full release mode.
I'd like to also make sure people know about our Facebook page where we put regular updates regarding releases, model pictures and more info:

Official Token and Template Set
Just wanted to show off the official game token and template sets. Now that we are shipping out the minis we remembered that we never updated these to show off the high quality end product. All of these are top notch quality and should last a long time.
Also, don't let the light red color give you the wrong idea. It is actually very dark and bloody red in person. Camera lights are making it pinker than it actually is.
Enjoy.
Tokens
Looking good!

Hello backers, We are starting a progress thread to keep everyone up to date.
These will go up on Tuesday and Friday of each week until we can confirm without a doubt that the final package has been shipped.
This will also save everyone the trouble of emailing us and asking what is going on with their package. Please do not do that. We really are moving as fast as possible and do not have the man power right now to dedicate to reply to general emails.
We will do our best to answer emails within 48 hours but don't get upset if it takes a day or two longer. Again, we want to dedicate all available staff to shipping.
We would also like to point out that now that we are getting into some of the large orders with 200 plus models it has gotten slower to ship. The biggest issue is no two orders are the same. We allowed backers to completely customize their rewards and that forces us to check and double check each shipment to make sure the correct items are heading out.
Even with a well thought out plan and dedicated people in shipping it does take time. We are doing our best and will simply update on Tuesdays and Fridays what amount of packages have shipped up to that point.
Please don't let the number scare you. Shipping 20 corrupt level pledges is like sending out 100 wicked levels. This is just the nature of the beast at this point.
We also ask and suggest to send all emails to info@outlawminiatures.com. We will no longer check this comment area for questions.
We just do not have the time or people to do it correctly. The forum may also be a easier way to get in touch with us.

Getting pretty keen to have these in hand. Browsed the WWX shop and the minis (some of them at least) were looking very nice all painted up!

Nah they were still renders when I looked sadly. Here are some of the painted characters, not sure if they're production models or not though, but they look nice ; )

All I pledged for was the Mercenary (not-Serenity) crew and they arrived today. The casts are great (and not tiny like the Sedition Wars versions were) but I was looking at the cards and they're 2 different sizes. One is the exact same as a M:TG card (with square corners instead of rounded) the others are about 1/8" wider.
Miscuts? Not a huge deal (especially since I didn't buy the minis to use in the game) but I wasn't sure if this was an expected thing or not.

Our hired hands are made out of plastic. The technical name of our plastic is High Impact Polystyrene or HIP. This type of plastic is the same style and quality as what you have seen from GW, Wyrd Miniatures, and Dream-Forge. This is not resin plastic.
The rest of our models will be cast in high detail Resin. This is the same quality of resin that you have seen with forgeworld, Dark Age, and others. This is not the same as finecast or similar soft resins.
The goal for us is to take all of our models to plastic if we reach specific goals.
Very happy with more of them being in delicious WGF plastic than initially thought. It was always the plan iirc, but I don't recall them saying whether or not they're achieved it. A very nice surprise, and completely not hypocritical of me after I really disliked Mantic doing the metal Dreadball models ; p

Just to give everyone a heads up, Wild West Exodus will be having a tournament at Adepticon 2014 on that Thursday, April 3. It is a 16 man event and will last most of the day, but for those interested:
As far as the Mercenary crew being plastic, that was a decision made following the huge interest in the Mercenaries and our goal to fill those models with a lot of detail. We hope you enjoy.

So is it safe to assume that those us that wanted and expected them in resin have no way of getting them in resin?

Do you have a summary of what is in plastic and what is in resin? Are all hired hands plus the mercs plastic and all characters resin still?
Mantic had a recent controversy with sending out metal minis that people backed for as restic so people are on edge atm ; p The more you do in WGF plastic the happier I'll be personally as I think their plastics approach resin for detail.

Can't wait to see how they compare to DFG stormtroopers regarding height. As I use those for my IG, I could really see myself using the Wayward Eight for conversions.
Outlaw_Sean: are you allowed to link to the Outlaw store in your sig?

I can line them up next to basically any Tyranid and many Space Marines. Pick something.
Edit: For the record I somehow didn't know that they were "supposed" to be resin instead of plastic, but I'm absolutely happy they're plastic and wouldn't trade them for resin.

All Bases and Base Inserts are injection molded plastic
All Hired Hands and Hired Hand Heavy Weapons are injection molded plastic.
The Wayward Eight Mercenary Box set (Marcus Wayward, Jake Mattia, Hicks Kincade, Zarelda Kincade, Sierra Icarus, Flowing River, K-Free, Sun Totem) are injection molded plastic.
Templates and Tokens are injection molded plastic.
Characters, Light Support, Heavy Support are all done in high quality resin.
Not sure about being able to have the store in my sig, I'll take a peek at the forum rules.

If you do have DFG Eisenkern that would be golden, but any Space Marine on a regular base (not ½inch of basing too) would be swell!
