I know they are supposed to be doing 12 factions, I'm hoping there is an Oriental influenced faction and an Arab influence factions. with in the twelve.

Hmm I'm not too well versed in middle eastern travelers in the wild west (beyond experiments with camels in Arizona I think), but Asian Workers are a huge part of 19th century west coast. Especially during the railroad building business. I could foresee an asian faction

As far as I am aware, there will be:
The Lawmen,
The Holy Order,
The Confederate Rebellion,
The El Ejercito Dorado
and something was hinted at an alien type of faction.

We are still very unsure of the details, as it is kept heavily under wraps.
Someone guessed an alien type race and that was the closest anyone got.
So what the mean by "Alien" could mean a person from a foreign land. Other than that, I am not sure of the rest.

I've thought of something else I'd like to see; a more accurate comparison shot. That being one which compares like with like(for example using an Imperial Guardsman rather than a Marine, and even better a Forgeworld Guardsman, assuming the WWX mini is a human male), and in which both models are stuck down to a generic flat surface/base which are both the same height.

The current image is OK I suppose, but I've never understood why "comparison" shots include specialised bases, when surely the goal is to see whether the minis will fit in with someone's existing collection, in which case they will be using the same bases for all models.

I am thinking that if a person can not tell the difference that Outlaw has shown in the photo they put out, it would be equally as hard without. After all it is not like the difference between 15mm and 28mm Heroic scale.

The model they have to show the scale has a hat on also, so to really compare them, you may have to do this with a lot of their miniatures in varying stances and uniform to get it correct to the nearest 1mm. For me, the scales are near enough to game with and have fun painting. Which is all I ask for to be honest.

Perhaps when the game comes out in Aug/Sept you may get chance to see such pictures from someone else's painting table.

Additionally, when I think about it. The Space Marine is not to scale as they are similar size to the Imp Guard.

I think, if you like a model, you will like it for what it is. A good point of referance could be to check out Dystopian Legions models as I hear that they are 35mm also, if this help?

Have to say that I love the new concept art for the Warrior Nation!

This amazing set of 4 models will feature 3 detailed Warrior Nation Braves and one large Summoned Apparition.

This group of sidekicks can summon this spirit in their activation and use it to fight in close combat. The Apparition can never be destroyed unless all 3 Braves have been killed. This group will make an amazing addition to any army and will be available to Corrupt level pledges as a free addition once unlocked.

Other backers may add this 4 model set for $30 well below its normal MSRP. The Apparition model will stand 60mm tall and have various spirit and ghost ripping out of it.

Look for this to unlock at $195k

I don't agree tbh, having a straight-on no-base/same-base picture comparing against a guardsman would make it far easier to tell whether they'll fit in with GW models, particularly if they use one of the WWX minis with a wider stance, and having them fit in is important; a mm here or there isn't a huge deal, but if they are a similar size to Dystopian Legion figures, we're not talking a mm here or there;



Those guys are the same height as my truescale Marines, far, far too big to look decent next to GW or FW scale humans. As to waiting until the game releases, that means not investing in the Kickstarter campaign, meaning less money for them, and no exclusive Dark Council mini for me, so it's not really ideal.

Here you got matey, this is the best I can do. I am sure if you wanted to export this into anAdobe package and place the marine over the WWX model and adjust to scale, you would get to measure the model size difference.

I am personally ok with an mk1 eyeball glance at it and will be getting the free MAS Terrain you get from the Corrupt level, so I will have a whole new shiny board to play with to!!

Yeah, that was the image I designated as "ok I guess". Best I can do with it is;



Which is only semi-accurate since the eye-level on a human model is different from that of a marine model, and I have no way to tell if they're at the same angle. Regardless, if that approximates the size difference, sadly I won't be backing this one, which is a shame as I really liked the minis.

Looks good buddy. Have you seen the MAS WWX terrain they have on the kick-starter?

I haven't - off to look!

Its pretty sweet tbh and great value at $35 for the hotel/Saloon or Bank and $30 for 4 houses 2 sheds and a toilet

Here is our next short goal at $190k. This 6 piece set rounds out the resin WWX terrain pieces and not only gives you objective markers but also provides cover.

Look for these to be added to several pledge levels once we break $190k.




It's official guys. WWX will definitely give you wood when $190,000 is reached hehe

Some nice signature banners here for those flying the WWX flag. Courtesy of Outlaw Miniatures

As a Malifaux player I have official become equally excited for the terrain this KS is offering as I am for the WWX minis and gameplay...

While there is a lack of Steampunk to the terrain, it is just about perfect for Malifaux as well as WWX... and having great terrain always makes games better.

Now that is some interesting stuff!

I might be in this one for some terrain now...

OK Guys and Gals, news hot off the press.

$185,000 goal achieved so the Enlightened sidekicks are in the bag

Next up is the Terrain Set 5 coming at you at $190,000!!

Also, if that wasn't enough, all stretch goals to $300,000 will be displayed sometime today. O.O toys!!!!!

Hope to see you there guys.

I myself am watching this with baited breath myself. The minis look awesome.. heck the 195 stretch goal with the three braves and the summoned spirit has officially blown my mind. Well worth your vote and look.

Hope to see you there guys.

Mick aka Squatting Thunder


@Lochiannon, I am looking at that also, Warrior Nation has a lot of really nice sculpts and the best looking hired hands imho.

Stretch goals released up to $325,000 with $10,000 intervals. See bottom of this page.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildwestexodus/wild-west-exodus-sci-fi-western-miniatures-game

The miniatures were what initially drew me in, but the terrain is what hooked me. There's a lot of potential there and it's definitely worth picking up a few pieces even if you don't plan to play WWX. The train rocks and this is the first time I've seen a company produce an amazing piece like that. The price is hard to beat for something that size as well - $160 for the kickstarter backers. They have an entry level pledge of $45 (Nasty) for those backers that would like to pick up some terrain or the train.

There's also a lot to use for other games as well. Who can imagine the Orky craziness that results if some fool-hardy Orks get ahold of that Rolling Thunder (hehehe!)

I was thinking that as well. The Outlaw truck would be an amazing monster truck, that would add a lot of variety to the 40K Ork board

Wow, just woke up to the fact we have reached another stretch goal while I was asleep I thinkI should sleep more often, as it has great side effects, hehe

Does anyone have any experience with the Pack 432 from Battle Foam? I ask this because they are designing the Outlaw bag, which is based on the 432. I have no Battle Foam products, so would really appreciate any feedback about their quality.

Many thanks

The Pack 432 is pretty much their standard bag, it's a good one.

So it's a good size and quality then? I saw on the video that the foam goes vertical. Is it ok to go this way?

Update for anyone else concerned about mini size issues; I messaged them on Kickstarter, and they gave me a feet-to-eyes measurement of 32mm for standard human males(with some variation for specific models). The Forgeworld event-only Arbite Enforcer is just shy of 31mm feet-to-eyes, but has a slight curve to the spine in the pose and so is likely very similar in height. The event-only Reaver Titan Princeps is also just shy of 31mm, but is fully upright, so WWX minis would look slightly taller(like comparing a 6' 3" tall man to a 6' tall man). The upright "at-ease" Cadian Guardsman GW mini is just barely over 30mm, so the WWX minis would be fairly noticeably taller than normal GW plastics when both are in a similar pose, but not drastically so, the main issue is that they would -appear- taller because of the difference in proportions, with the WWX minis being fairly accurate while the GW minis are 5- to 6-heads Heroic.

Still, having done those comparisons, I'm comfortable that they'll do nicely for "character minis" next to GW's heroic scale and FW's "not-quite-right-but-better-than-GW" scale, so I'll be putting some money in tomorrow on payday.

EDIT: Hurr durr I are gud spellar of werds.

Thanks for the update Yodhrin. Just to let you know, you don't actually pay for your pledge until the Kick-Starter has ended, in 12 days time So you have time to rob a bank, a train heist and maybe steal a well known painting in that time.

Would be nice to see you on their forums to buddy.

Aren't you associated with Battlefoam or this miniatures game?

No matey :s I have none of their products at all.

Yet you created this account on Dakka and took over for updates as soon as Battlefoam started. You signed up to multiple forums, some dedicated to other games, for the express purpose of promoting this game - Twice you promoted this game on two different dedicated Infinity forums. Your entire Twitter account is doing nothing else but promoting this game. You're by far the most frequent commenter on the Kickstarter both unabashedly complimenting and explaining the game.

You've created account all over the internet for the purpose of promoting a Kickstarter where you haven't seen the majority of the miniatures and haven't even played the game. You've done more promotion than Battlefoam itself and started just as the official Battlefoam account on Dakka stopped posting updates. Not only that, but you inexplicably started calling the company the proper "Battle Foam" when you had called it the more common yet improper "Battlefoam" prior.

Are you sure you don't work for Battlefoam? If not, they should hire you.

Hehe, thanks, would be nice to get a pay cheque in the post, I had created this account in 2011 after loosing my previous account details as I was in the military and moved about etc. I had joined a Infinity forum the other day, yes you are quiet right. I like to help people on the KS so we have a good chat and get to know the people who I may be playing across the table with in the near future and to organise an event. Really proactive group of people on there, So I don't feel like I need to be embarrassed about it buddy, as it is somewhat of an interest to me. Are you interested in WWX? Personally I love the Warrior Nation as it is somewhat a new theme yet ties in with recent history, if you get my meaning?

For your reading please

The Train Robbery (An Outlaw Story)

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildwestexodus/wild-west-exodus-sci-fi-western-miniatures-game/posts/420416

Just to clear a few things up. The main reason we have not been posting on here is because updating and posting on Kickstarter is a full time job with a limited staff at this point.

I think we are better served as a company to post on our kickstarter instead of on forums all around the internet.

We also have a very nice fan following already and Mike is one of them. To bash him for supporting the kickstarter is why we have limited the posts ourselves. It seems that no matter what you post on Dakka Dakka someone like yourself will bash or take the whole tread off track just to create drama.

No drama needed here. As for bringing up Battle Foam in every comment you make, have at it. I'm sure they appreciate the free advertising.

I guess people know the right way to read a company name that is clearly visible on the website of said company makes them an employee now.

What would we know, our company name is Outlaw Miniatures but you can call us whatever you like.

I would also like to point out that we are holding a contest for the backer that posts the most news and spreads the word about our ks the most. That may be a reason why Mike here is so excited. Maybe that or maybe the fact that its a good game with good people creating it.

To Mike, thanks and keep up the good work. I'll make sure the guys send you out a check. How many hours have you put in this week? Just need to know for accounting reasons.

Eh, its not really that hard to maintain a presence on one of if not the biggest wargaming forums, manage a Kickstarter, and day-to-day operations.


Also since your website and likely full company is owned by Romeo Filip, its not hard to link you to Battlefoam...

Good luck in hating on our kickstarter, Battle Foam, Romeo, and anyone else you like.

We'll focus on the positive people and the appropriate comments.

Have a great day.
