I like the Monocav not what i was expecting but still liking the look of it

Yeah, certainly different. The monocav looks out of place, and more like it'd fit more in a full sci-fi setting.

I'm not a big fan of any of the non-warrior nation cav. I was hoping for some robo-horses rather than some snowmobiles, or should I say "sand-mobiles".

That artwork for Stonefist is awesome and I'm hoping the model comes out well.

Yeah, was really nice of them to do that. Can't wait to see how it looks and it's a great idea to make it a Merc as everyone should be able to benefit from him also. A nice 3" Halo helps to, he must have a huge hammer to get that!!

That's what's been bugging me about most of the sculpts. Is that they're trying to combine sci-fi and westerns, and everything just seems overloaded with sci-fi to the point that it looks out of place with other models in the line.

I don't know how I feel about the unicycles. They're....okay.

They're must better than the snowmobiles. And honestly, I wouldn't have had a problem with ONE of the factions using the snow mobiles, but all three non-Warrior Nation factions are using the same bike with different gubbins on them.

Robo horses would have been much better for the Union

Give the Outlaws the snowmobiles.

The Enlightened regular cav should have been half robot centaurs. They like using half of the body, right?

Doing that would have given each faction a distinct aesthetic, whereas now the only thing that does is an extra skull.

Further, do ALL of the factions really need full blown cav? Why not, instead of cav, give the enlightened some larger, more lumbering "failed creations...." I dunno, just snowballing ideas.

I really like the wave 1 cavalry, but I do see what you mean about making each race specific.

I like the idea of the robohorses but perhaps tracked robot for Enlightened, like an IED robot but bigger and with guns

I'm going to regret this...

I pledged in only to get the Merc crew. I think they'll look good in games of Through the Breach. If there is a coupon for 30% later on, so be it.

OUCH!!! These are "Light Support Vehicles"!!! I don't think there is anything light about it's firepower!! lol
I really like this, as you could use it in a few games I am think. Maybe some some snow mobile in another scifi game?
I think you should be able to customise these a great deal also, maybe even turn it into an aircraft?




The new Wave 2 Warrior Nation guys are gonna be a lot faster than the wave 1 HH. They will also have more attacks.
I am not aware of the points cost for these yet, but I would think that they will be released in 3 days when the Beta rules
are up and available for download. I was hoping for faster troops to use as cannon fodder to get other troops into the fray,
but perhaps the mighty Elk will be a nice threat magnet for those nasty RJ1027 rifles

Looks like some EB fiendish just upgraded. Run in and grab one while they are hot!!Edit: Gone

Total is definitely picking up pace.

About 5 EB repulsive also disappeared in the last couple hours, so they probably won't last til Sunday.

I am hoping we get all new Wave 2 today as this maybe my first choice of faction.
But outlaw models are looking just too good at present, so I think it will come down to the wire on the
light support vehicles. I am hoping that all the wave 2 LSV's are faction specific, but I guess being outlaws
they can steal and modify as they wish.

Does anyone have any ideas what the fire breathers will be? I can only think of some sort of lizard, as the
Warrior Nation does not trust mechanical vehicles. I guess it could be some sort of dragon but it would have
to be skilfully brought into WWX and I am unsure how they would do it tbh.

I'm in big on this on I think the idea of robo horses is cool. But, I beleive its to late now to revise for the ks I hope they explore that idea later. I can't wait to see the warriors light support.

I'm just past Pokemon age, was in high school when it first came out. Wasn't there a fire horse in there somewhere? That's what I was envisioning. Or even a native that tapped into the elements versus an animal for his power.

Should be interesting to say the least.

I was thinking something like the link below, but it doesn't breath fire.....yet?

I just picked up one of the Early Fiendish--the deal was just too good to pass. But, its way more models than I will ever need.

Anyone interested in buying a starter set (a la the Villainous set) t a reduced rate? PM me.

Hey drazz. Review the trade FAQ as well if you havent. You may be able to get mileage out of the four none basic hired hands in that starter for stuff you want.

ED--thanks. I reread it, and sadly it doesn't work for what I would want. That stack of 44 hired hands will be daunting to look at, no matter which faction they are coming from.

I would if I could mate, but I am a but tapped out of funds due to an over excited clicky finger. hehe.
Some people want all wave 2 HH, but I think the wave 1's look awesome to, and they are bound to have there uses in game.
I have seen a few lists up with just 4-5 models in it but I don't think they will do as well against a well rounded squad with HH included imho.

Definitely diggin the progress today. Ticker has about 30 mins for the day left and then into those last 48 hours.

Yeeeeeee-haaaaaa!!

I admit I haven't been paying enough attention to this one, but can someone please answer a question for me?

Do they have an homage model for either the Knights of Cydonia guy or Blood Meridian's Judge Holden?

You big kid!!! Now quieten down and let me focus playing with my little toy soldier dram rabbit

I am not sure what they are tbh. Sorry, but the answer is no. :(

We have sexy Ladies of the West models though.

They have about 130 characters planne at this point, and not all of them are historical so who knows who they got in the queue for all the different factions.

The second wave of light support vehicles have been posted. I'm not sure about the Warrior Nations LSV but I really do like the Blackjack. If it unlocks will have to go back to the drawing board on my pledge Having a hard time choosing which Hired hands to get as well, oooo choices.

Oh well.

Knights of Cydonia is a Muse song with the greatest Sci Fi Western video ever. Better than Firefly.

Judge Holden is a villain in Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian who makes Hannibal Lector look like Elmer Fudd. He is one of the greatest monsters in literature.

Both of these characters would fit right in with a Weird West or Sci Fi Western setting.



...I hope those sexy ladies work out as well for you as they did for Kingdom Death. Can I hope that they are a timely cash grab by you and not a "feature" of the setting?

I am not a fan of those warrior nation light support. They look more like something the Union would use.

LOL, I really can't fault that Black Jack!! I want a real one is all can say. /giggles like a girl


Well I was wrong before thinking that the Warrior Nation would have a huge lizard as a fire bringer.
My only thought is, how are they towed into battle? That gatling gun looks like it will ruin someones day for sure, hehe.
I also guess this is how we can keep the enemies heads down as we are running at them with axes.

@Bob, oh no dear boy, they are definitely the main even, hehe

Seems like we are getting update overload today I was hoping for some headdresses to be worn by some of the WN. As far as I know, these are going to be quicker and have more attacks

That was my first thought, but since they are in game, I'm hopeful for other groups to get them later!!

I like the LSV's for the WN. I hope that the Braves pushing them are quite big and muscular to emphasise the bulk of the guns.

Even though it might be the simplest, the Blackjack is the LSV I like the most

@ED,

Same mate, I think t looks rather aggressive tbh. I think that must be the only motorbike you can ram raid a shop with.

That firebringer is weak. Dig the blackjack tho.
