We have just uploaded our Charlie Rules for gamers to test play. We call them Charlie because they are even earlier than Beta. Please let us know your thoughts via facebook, email, or our official forum.
We look forward to hearing everyones opinions on how we can make this game better.

Alpha -> Beta -> Charlie -> Delta.
If its before Beta, its Alpha.
Wait I'm confused. Charlie comes from the military alphabet in which case it wont be Beta but Bravo (and in WW2 A was Able and D was Dog). The 3rd letter in the Greek Alphabet is Gamma.
Sorry to veer off course for a bit
Anyways that miniature does look pretty neat

I love how petty people on Dakka are. Seriously. Not backing because he used a word out of context rather than the content of the actual project. Your awesome.

Ummm... yeah.. Same thing with saying people are idiots for liking metal minis. Seriously? That's just childish and uncalled for.

Looking at these minis all i can think is "strength of a bear, ears of a wolf and speed of a puma"
Looks just like a certain cartoon from my childhood.

Subject: New model released for the Enlightened Mr. Thomas Edison
Here is a pic of Thomas Edison the Underboss model for the Enlightened faction. Look for more cool models on our facebook page or by going to www.wildwestexodus.com. We have also launched our forum so if you are interested in discussing our rules or models please join and let us know.
We should be seeing more of this tomorrow. I like some of the figures so far, and the cityscape they have put the effort into is awesome.
Looks like interesting enough of a setting, hopefully there will be some good stretch goals besides foam transport bags

They already met their goal and first stretch goal! Sidekicks are in.
Next goal is at 40k, unlocking the underbosses. They have alluded to light and heavy support vehicles as later goals.
Also, I don't recall if it was mentioned here, but looks like they are doing the models in plastic and resin, not metal. I recall that being a point of argument earlier.
Jibboom, we are totally with you on this. I can tell you for sure we are NOT doing metal. No way no how. The models will be all plastic, all resin, or a combo of both based on goals reached. Here is to reaching plastic goal.
yeah,
If this is a Battlefoam company product I don't understand why shipping is free in the US and not free in the UK?
Battle foam have distribution centers here in the UK.
Might jump in later, but I think giving free shipping to yanks and not to brits is unfair which puts me off.
I've messaged Outlaw Miniatures asking about this, will update with the response. If I get one.
Panic wrote:Hi,
Why free shipping to US customers (included in price)
UK customers pay the same money and you charge a extra $25 shipping in the UK?
You have distribution centers in both countries?
This seems unfair and puts me off backing your project.

I would imagine they are either manufacturing in the USA, or shipping into the USA from manufacturing in China
so there will be cost to getting it into the UK (as they will need to pay VAT/import duty) hence where the 'shipping charge' comes in
At least they are distributing from the UK so EU backers dont have to worry about extra costs

Subject: Re:Wild West Exodus Miniatures Game (Kickstarter Is Live)
yeah, Part of the pledge for US backers covers shipping. It doesn't ship for free, it's included.
Where does that money go when selling to a UK backer? If they send a shipment to the UK distribution center they can use the money within the pledge to cover the shipping cost within the UK. It seems unfair to charge extra to UK backers.
got a good quick reply from outlaw miniatures which is good to see, I love good customer service
outlaw miniatures wrote:Hi Panic,
This is a very touchy subject because its regulated by Kickstarter. They do not allow you to add shipping to any US customers. Its actually not even available in the set up windows when you build the campaign.
The international section is more to do with shipping the container to the warehouse in the UK. All of these items will be manufactured in the US or China depending on goals. This means we will be sending out a full container via boat to the warehouse for processing.
Container like this can run between $5000 to $7000 to ship depending on the time of year and customs. You can imagine how that divides out if we had lets say 300 backers. The shipping for the container would greatly out weigh what we are charging for shipping but we try to reduce the cost as best as possible.
I know that is not the best answer in the world but we do hope you will find the minis cool enough to pledge. We plan on adding a bunch of great stuff to the free items so that it makes up for the lame shipping fees.
Thanks for being interested and sending in your question.

Whoa, ks does not even allow you to charge shipping to the US? Surely all that does is encourage creators to charge extra onto international backers in order to cover shipping to the States in the first place?
I'm confused about something. Fiendish $220 has 4x Starters, 2x Rulebooks, 4x token/council models. Shameless $325 has the same stuff as Fiendish plus 2x boxes of hired hands and a plastic template set. How is that worth the extra $105? What am I missing here?

Subject: Wild West Exodus Miniatures Game (Kickstarter Is Live)
Fiendish at $205 is limited to 100 pledges. After that a new one will open at $220 with no limit to the number of pledgers. The point of my question is based on the idea that higher pledge levels are supposed to somehow be enticing to some people. Unless there's some sort of stretch reward planned for Shameless that hasn't been presented yet, I'm not seeing the value there. It's got six backers currently so I guess someone is seeing something that I'm not.

I must admit it is funny that here on dakka people decry you for doing metal and yet look at the KS, its only a few days in and its already at +$40k, quite successful if I do say so
Not everything on Kickstarter has to be plastic people (heck quite a few KS are already metal here on dakka like Blackwater)

To be fair not everyone who is contributing to WWX is a Dakka member let alone not everyone on dakka complained.
However, they did announce they will be doing the minis in plastic and resin via the kickstarter, or so they say.
Here is what I find hilarious
WWX first said they will being doing metal and some resin
"We also spoke to many gamers that preferred the traditional metal minis over most all other choices. "
When WWX asked about 2 weeks later via their Facebook page what do people prefer plastic, resin or metal, of the 40 some people only 2 or so people said metal.
With their original statement saying many gamers preferred metal, who the fahk were they asking and when? 1985?
Must admit, it is fantastic to see Outlaw miniatures taking into consideration opinions and wants of fans not many companies do that, most give you the finger.
Then again they are small enough to accommodate the fans.

Can someone familiar with the background for this game help me out here?
Was there some sort of nuclear apocalypse, humanity survived and clawed its way back towards a semblance of civilization (and a high tech one at that!) and this civilization someone calls to mind... the Old West?

Sure. Not everything has to be plastic. It just should be.
Had the models been done in metal, I wouldn't have even sniffed it. Nor would many people I know.
