The First Few Models Are In Production And Looking Good
Update #99 · Apr 8, 2013 · 6 comments

Here are the first of several models coming out this week from our production guys. We are running at full speed and September could not get here any sooner.

Check out the crisp detail and cool color. These resin models will be heading out to everyone in the very near future.

The plastic injection molded parts are also at full production in China and will be heading over the pond in just a few short months.

In all everything is on schedule and going as planned.

It isn't that hard to share, now is it guys?!?

Very nice, and I'm glad I selected the Lawmen faction too, but as someone already noted in the comments section, hopefully the 'sitting' Lawman is an 'extra' on the sprue, as I certainly won't ever need more than one of him!

Well you could use him as a prone model instead of using tokens etc? Or something along those lines.
I am sure you could swap arms, heads weapons around so they look different also.
Outlaw did state that there would be flexibility in the sculpts and I am not talking the flexibility that you see in Finecast!! hehe

That would be the biggest bummer for me!

Can you explain some of the issues?

And, we're still in playtest mode, right?

Time to make changes still exists?

Romeo was very up front about his involvement during the Kick Starter. The figures actually rose quite a bit that day.
The fact that he has done several podcasts where he talks about WWX would also be a nice indication as he has nothing to hide about his involvement.
During Beasts of War coverage of Salute, Warren asks Romeo's wife about WWX also.

So not really a scandal there as far as I am concerned.

Smoke Grenades. Once per turn, this model may spend a Shoot Action to throw a Smoke Grenade. Place the center of the 4" template within 12" of this model and in Line of Sight. Make a Marksmanship test, and if passed, the template lands where intended. If missed, the template scatters as normal. The template lasts until the beginning of this model’s next activation, and completely blocks Line of Sight into it, out of it, or through it. The template (i.e. the column of smoke) is considered to have a height of 4".

Best of the Best. Any friendly Hired Hands using an Action to Shoot while within 12" of this model add +1 to their Marksmanship Test.

WILD WEST EXODUS THREE BOOK DEAL
Update #105 · May 23, 2013 · 3 comments
Winged Hussar Publishing, LLC is excited to announce an agreement with Outlaw Miniatures to publish a series of books based in the world of their game, Wild West Exodus through it’s Zmok Books imprint.

Wild West Exodus is set in an alternative history near the end of the American Civil War and based in the old west. It features historical and legendary figures – but not necessarily in the way that you currently know them.

The first three books will compose the Jessie James Archives entitled, Honor Among Thieves (October 2013), An Outlaw’s Wrath (November 2013) and Abundant Riches (December 2013).

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 saviour. Dr. Carpathian, however, is following 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. 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.

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 today!

Winged Hussar Publishing LLC, publishes books on military history . Through its Zmok Books Imprint it publishes epic SF&F .

The Jessie James Archives represents the latest addition to that catalogue of books.

8 Days Of Mercs (Day 1 Zarelda)
Update #107 · Jun 13, 2013 · 8 comments

We have a very special surprise for all of our backers. When we announced the Mercs for the Wild West Exodus range we never expected such an amazing response.

Now that we are down to the last hand full of surveys left to finalize, we are bringing you a surprise.

For the next eight days we will unveil the finished versions of each of the eight Mercs.

Now that is not the only surprise. Originally we has announced that the Mercs would be resin like our vehicles and specialized troops.

Hold on to your cowboy hats ladies and gentlemen. All of the Mercs will be mad in the same high grade plastic as our hired hands. The HIPS plastic we use is the finest quality plastic you can have for minis in our scale. These awesome looking Mercs will all be made this way.

Even more exciting is the fact that nobody has to pay anything extra for this bonus change. Its already included with your pledge if you selected the Mercs as your reward or add-on.

So lets check out the first of eight Mercs.

Oh, if you spot those cool bases don't be alarmed. Those are our new plastic injection molded bases coming out soon.

Hey guys,

Sorry but after getting some feedback on River Flowing we went back and made some important changes. Here is the actual model people will get.

1. Smother nicer face.

2. Smaller handles on both weapons.

3. Swap out of weapons from left to right hand to better show the pose.

4. Small details in the skirt.

Hope you guys like the new version and please ignore the first image from a couple days ago.

Here is a little something to keep you guys talking over the weekend. This is the Union Heavy Support Rolling Thunder. Yes, its that big and that awesome.

Some changes to Capt Wayward
Update #117 · Jun 22, 2013 · 9 comments

We heard your requests to fix a few issues with Capt Wayward. We felt that since he is such a huge part of the MERCS team we should listen.

Gone is the silly video game hair and bell coat.

We hope you guys see our vision for his action packed pose. He is blocking a close combat attack and shooting his enemy in the face. Now that is a captain I want to fight for.

Backer Created Characters First Look
Update #118 · Jun 24, 2013 · 4 comments
So in our kickstarter campaign we had three super cool backers that decided to create their own characters.

These three guys worked with our team over the past several months to come up with some great ideas for WWX.

One of these backers actually purchased a model of his character for each backer past a specific reward. We now know him as the "Secret Backer".

We also got a chance to work with two other great guys who provided some great ideas that our team used in creating their minis.

Well we are happy to announce and show off these three new minis coming out soon.

Marcus Killingsworth (The Secret Backer Mini)

Sasha Tanner (The Assassin)

The Wraith (Bounty Hunter)

We want to say thanks to each of these backers and what they contributed to the effort and to you guys the backers.

Abe Lincoln of the Union Army
Update #120 · Jul 1, 2013 · 7 comments

Here is the first look at Abe Lincoln. This model actually comes with 2 sets of arms that can be changed out.

This allows you to set Abe up with the look that you like best.

Check out the detail in his face and how close he looks to the real man.

Very cool.

Dark Council and Spirit Totem Influence Markers
Update #121 · Jul 8, 2013 · 9 comments
The Spirit Totem in the middle is shown with additional mini totems also usable to get influence tokens. When a large totem is surrounded by six mini totems the influence range extends to the entire table. The Warrior Nation call this a spiritual battle ground.

Every Dark Council Member model gives the user 1 influence token usable to change dice roles during the game.

Stone Fist Mounted On Running Thunder Model
Update #122 · Jul 8, 2013 · 16 comments

We think that this model has gotten some of the most fan feedback of our range. We wanted to really show you what this guy was all about.

Here is Stone Fist on his Energy Beast named Running Thunder. Not only has his Energy Beast continued to live long after being energized with the earth power but now carries two full size Union cannons stolen by Stone Fist after a bloody battle.

These cannons are some of the most deadly weapons in our game. With a Power 12 Range 24 Howitzer shot x2, Running Thunder packs a major punch.

Look for the painted version in just a couple weeks.

The second picture is for size only.

Project Status #1 at the 4 month mark.
Update #124 · Jul 12, 2013 · 7 comments

Hello WWX Fans,

As you all know the shipping date for WWX is quickly approaching. We have been keeping everyone excited and entertained with great updates and photos of the models in the range.

We also promised all of our great backers that we would continue updating everyone on progress and production. So this update is designed to get you guys in the know on exactly what is happening and how things are progressing.

The first thing to remember is that when we ended our Kickstarter campaign in late March we had set ourselves up for a very demanding and challenging schedule. 80+ models in less than six months that all had a unique look and feel.

This meant that all of these minis not only would end up looking totally different than the next but they would all have a detailed and exciting look. With that came concept art, 3D design, meetings, story lines, stat building, and of course production. Oh, and lets not forget tooling production that requires many programming and machining steps itself.

As we get closer to our dates we will break up the updates in sections. We look at the overall project as four specific sections. Media (rule book, art book, comics, novels, box art), In-house Resin (models being made in the USA like bosses and vehicles), China Plastic (hired hands, and other similar items), and lastly Accessories (templates, counters, dice, and terrain).

So how is progress moving along on the great game of WWX? Actually our teams have been doing an amazing job. Many of the deadlines we set for ourselves have been achieved and actually finished early. However with any new company surprises will happen.

These surprises have pushed some time lines a bit past what we expected so we are keeping you guys in to loop every step of the way.

Here are the four sections and how they are progressing at this time.

Media - 75% finished - Final rules have been written and the book is in the final stages of layout. With the hard part behind us we will be sending the print ready rule book files to China on August 1st. Printing will take 3 weeks for all 3000 of our books. They will than quickly put those on a container and ship them out to our US warehouse. Expected delivery will be mid to late September to us.

In-House Resin - 60% finished - With close to 10,000 models to make we are very happy on how quickly the resin is being produced. Not only that but the quality is beyond what we expected and is getting us very excited about the overall product. Many of you have purchased Mic Ironclad or received the Lady Of The West. The quality of our final product has actually increased since those models have been made. This is a really cool and exciting event for us. The overall resin count should be on time in mid to late September.

China Plastic - 20% finished - This is the one area that has moved the slowest. Mainly this has moved slower because of the workload that our partner has been sacked with. The China company we are using is the best in the business. With being the best you get a lot of work and our partner is no different. This has caused a bit of a delay on their end. It's something we have discussed in great detail with the owners and they totally understand our need for fast delivery. On the other hand WWX and our partners will not rush a product just to make a deadline. We want you guys to have the best miniatures possible and that takes a bit of time. These plastic minis will be the best in the industry no matter what.

So what does that mean for delivery dates? The fact is that with adding templates to the plastic needs and the entire Mercs batch as a special secret bonus plastic kit instead of resin added around 4 weeks of delays. This means the we are looking at late October or even the first week of November for our plastics. However we are looking at possibly pushing them faster. We just don't want to rush a great product to get things to you three or four weeks early.

Accessories - 65% finished - Currently Micro Art is banging away on the buildings and Chessex is finalizing the dice. We also have other items like posters and goodies that are well ahead of schedule. We don't feel like there will be any delay on these items arriving to us on time for mid to later September.

In the end we are around 55% finished with our project. Considering the amount of minis in the range and the super cool additional items we are doing great. We will keep you guys posted on a two week basis so everyone knows exactly what is happening. As always we will continue to show you sweet pictures of the models as they are finished by our great team of artists.

Have a great weekend to all and remember, "In Jesse We Trust"

As a special secret Plastic instead of resin secret. Not actually free Charlie. Sorry if that came off confusing. However if the plastic delay is longer than a couple weeks we do plan to take care of everyone in a special way.

More to come in update two and three as China gets us the latest on production. No matter what you guys will always get the best possible treatment from us. We promises there will be zero sad pandas in the WWX community.

Just so you guys know we will still be pushing to meet our deadline of September. This is the status today but things may speed up as we move forward. Some things moved quicker and some slower but our goal is still September. You guys will totally be in the know every step of the way from now on.

Don't forget that you will still be able to meet the team and try out the game at GenCon. We will have a PDF version of the rule book then and almost 35+ models to look at. We will even have 2 special edition early release models that did not come out on Kickstarter at our booth.

Re: Gen Con

Yes guys, we will be at GenCon at the Battle Foam booth. We will not be selling anything from the kickstarter but we will have some special edition models for sale. We will have the full details on this come August 1st.

I can however tell you the names of one of the models.

Kyle The Black as the underboss for the Enlightened. He is a new model that you guys have not see yet. More to come on that and the additional goodies.

Stay tuned.

Re: Gen Con

Postby Outlaw » Fri Jul 12, 2013 11:24 am
Yes, you guys will all have access to Kyle The Black and the other secret mini. Both will go up on our shopping cart at the same time as GenCon opens. We are making those models now and will have pictures of them painted before the show. Everyone will get the models at exactly the same price as show customers. We will also be supplying our UK warehouse with the models so shipping internationally should be much cheaper than before.
