Subject: Wild West Exodus Miniatures Game - The Ongoing Kickstarter News and Rumors Thread!
In the twilight years of the Nineteenth Century, mankind is perched upon a new age of discovery and enlightenment. But beneath the hope and optimism, a rising darkness taints the air, touching the heart of every man, woman, and child. The United States has clawed its way out of a terrible civil war, but the wounds are deep. The nation finds itself poised on the edge of ruin, the agony of division eating at its very marrow.
Into this dark time a light of hope emerges, carried from the Old World by Dr. Burson Carpathian, scientist, visionary, and would be savior. But Dr. Carpathian, too, follows a path laid out for him by the darkest of powers: a force of remorseless spite. The Dark Council.
New Science collides with ancient malevolence, and a technology powered by the very essence of evil itself moves to crush the hearts and minds of men. Outlaws grasp for wealth and renown in the turbulent chaos, while once noble leaders strive to defend nations that now exist only in their memories. Brilliant minds are turned onto dark, forbidden paths as every life is twisted by the bitter touch of the Dark Council, unlocking the foul potential within each man’s soul.
These are the twilight years of the nineteenth century. There is no certain future as a continent is torn asunder, each isolated faction struggling to maintain their share of power beneath the gathering darkness.
Wild West Exodus is a dynamic, fast-paced semi-skirmish game pitting a cast of brutal characters against each other in a world very much like our own, but twisted by the forces of deepest evil. Characters in Wild West Exodus are balanced upon the edge of a knife, a horrible death waiting patiently on either side. They move swiftly across the table, they fight with frightening speed and lethal skill, and they die abruptly.
An advanced D10 system is coupled with an innovative Influence mechanic to simulate the powers of the Dark Council upon their unwitting pawns. Players must choose how they will gamble with the power of their patrons: spread the Influence throughout a turn, hoping to ease destiny onto a brighter path, or hold the influence, to be entirely cast upon one roll of the dice?
The range of actions available to characters in the game is nearly limitless as players attempt to take destiny into their own hands, gambling their Influence away in an attempt to mitigate the misfortunes of strong opposition and bad luck.
Supporting the growth of this world will be a regular comic book series that will continue the development and progress of the world and the dark characters that live in it, as well as providing new rules, new models, missions, and more!
A full range of highly detailed 35mm models, sculpted by some of the best digital sculptors in the industry and produced using the latest, highest level of technology, will drive this action-based whirlwind of darkness and death into an ever-evolving future brimming with desolation and despair.
Join us on our dark journey into an alternate history where a hidden evil strives to corrupt even the purest champions of Man. Take your first step upon this dread path, and visit www.wildwestexodus.com today!
I agree with what everyone else is saying, i think its way too premature to be advertising your game on here when we won't have a single shred of information about it for at least another month.
Plus i did a Google search for the 'Wildwestexodus' website and the fact that the quote below is what is listed in the preview bar really makes it look like a spam website.

It looks simple enough, obviously some sort of war/card/board/video game set in the old/futuristic/grimdark west with or without a steampunk twist. I don't see what everyone is so upset about.
Honestly, I think everyone here likes a cool upstart, and I'll remain cautiously optimistic. Though, like everyone else, I'm sure, I'll just forget about this company for three months until something more comes of it.
And to the proprietor of Outlaw Minis, I think most people are far more into the full disclosure aspect of the hobby as opposed to the mystery release. I'm looking forward to more information, as we all are.
It's an ugly planet. A bug planet.

The proprietor is Romeo Filip. The site is registered to him, and uses the same phone number as the Battle Foam Gaming Saloon. It's not a great mystery.
Mystery regarding the product, not the producer. Sorry if I was unclear.

Is omen trying to get a job with GW in their marketing department?
Seriously though, this is the same type of hype we get with GW, the only difference is that GW has enough leaks that we already know what the product is going to be. I have never heard of outlaw miniatures so Maybe it deserves more vitriol than GW, but personal attacks???

So looks like battlefoam are getting into the miniature business directly (or rather the owner of battlefoam has a new company making miniatures)? More competition in wargaming is always welcome.

Where else would you post a teaser about an upcoming miniature game if not on the News & Rumours board of a forum about miniature games where people will likely be looking for new things that are on the horizon?
The entire point of a sub-forum like this that you connect stuff upcoming/happening with the people interested in stuff upcoming/happening, no?

I don't see what's worth getting so upset about. Looks to me like a bit of supernatural wild west stuff. I'm interested enough to check in on it again.
“It was in lands of the Chi-An where she finally ran him to ground. There she kissed him deeply as he lay dying, and so stole from him his last, agonized breath.
On a delicate chain at her throat, she keeps it with her to this day.”

Yup.
But if it goes down that way, it better have a GIANT SPIDER! They are fierce.
That model looks great, It makes me wonder why they didn't just start off the thread with those images instead of posting that pointless teaser video...
Never thought I would see the day that /tg was more tame than dakka dakka. About the art not quite sure what to think I've been surprised before so I'll wait around for more info.
Well, that's a 30mm base he's sitting on; I'd say he's a wee bit large for IG, but doable as a hero.
As a genetically enhanced inquisitor type, just perfectly
