I'm tempted to go non-standard WWX bases as well, for much the same reason.

I haven't really looked over the rules though, so I don't know how much of an impact that will have on the actual game itself.

I'll probably go plain beveled 30mm or 35mm bases, whichever one is the closest match to the WWX Official diameter.

I haven't got the rules, but the blast rules must rely on a certain size of base indeed.

Champion! Thanks for the pics, good quality shots show the minis well. Really happy with them from what I can see - what are your thoughts on them?

Yes, that is genuine old, fat grey cat hair on the minis. That stuff sticks to foam like crazy.

I noticed this with my mates foam. I swear half the body weight of his cat was stuck to his foam in the form of hair. Could probably sell battlefoam as cat hair attractors to keep houses clean of the stuff.

Those are not auto-adjusted, they turn out better. Does anyone know how I can switch that off on my pictures, or do I have to reload?

I had a look and couldn't see an option to frig with that. The second lot are definitely much better.

I'll reload the first batch from work, then.

I really like them. The split head on "Inara" is not ideal, but if painted as a tiara or part of a hair net it could work. They are not meant to be generic minis, but with very minimal work can be used for a lot of things. They're damn tall though. I'll try to get into work fast enough to take a comparison shot with a Dreamforge gal and a snap fit space marine (their a bit smaller, I think) just to show the difference.

What is the actual size of the 'official' WWX base?

Is it a 30mm base?

Or a 35mm base?

I'd measure mine but I seem to have misplaced them...

My hobby room/office is a mess.

I'm hoping for some help from our Canadian Brother...

Per the quickstart rules the base sizes are 1.25", 1.75", 2.25", and 4.5". This is closest to 30mm (actually 31mm), 40mm (actually 44mm), 60 mm (actually 57mm), and the massive base is 114mm.

Excellent, yeah they are single pose characters so any multi purpose out of them would be an unexpected bonus, especially given the frequent failure/death/obscurity rate of new gaming systems. The height definitely seems problematic when used with other common ranges, but as you say, if it matches Dreamforge I'll be pretty happy too! Thanks again for the pics, helps tide us over until they arrive ; )

He's not your brother, guy!

They did clock in at 32mm when I measured them. I remembered how important base size is when playing a TLOS skirmish game. being able to hug cover as much as the rules allow is crucial in, say, Infinity. So my Statuesque models on 30mm bases are at a bit of a disadvantage.

I do wish the best to WWX, even if I like the look of Wild West games, my gaming group is really not into them. The proportions of the mini are really swell, though. I'm getting tired of the huge heads, ginormous hands and bookcase-sized guns of some games.

You're all my Battle-Brothers!

I agree - and amen to that, Brother!

Also, I think I'll be fine at 30MM, 40MM and 60MM...

You asked us for base size, you're getting base sizes! If we're too precise for you, it's all on you!

So here is the first batch reloaded with original contrasts









And I just noticed the crack in Simon's buttocks... I'll have to fix that before I paint him.

And we should chip in to get heartserenade a copy of "not-Inara"... he does things with dresses that are out of this world.

Don't forget about that gap on the dress!

Yeah, but that's an easy fix with Liquid GS.

And I think I left the camera at home... pictures will be tonight, from the cozy insides of Castel Raymond. Sorry boys.

Who did they ship through in the US?

I hope my South Park reference didn't get misconstrued!

Thanks again for the pics Mathieu, the minis have awesome style, love them.

edit: Would you believe I didn't catch the (now) obvious Firefly reference during the KS? Cheaty naming Mathieu ; p

Comparison shots, boys!

A little taller, but the scale mismatch is probably more of a problem with 40k. Heroic scale needs to die I think ; p They seem to fit nicely with Dreamforge which is great, only slightly taller if at all and very similar scale.

Yup, I agree. But on the other hand, it's common for people not to all be the same height, and since the scale is close (no huge heads) then it makes it believable.

Received my pledge in this weekend, and just had a chance to inventory it and, much to my delight, it was complete - nothing missing!

Next step is to make sure everything is cast up correctly, but from what I can see so far, everything looks great.

Looking forward to building, painting and, hopefully, playing this one soon.

Also really looking forward to seeing what WWX comes up with next for all the factions.

Man I'm wishing I'd put my $170 into this rather than robotech tactics which is making me more & more queasy by the day. At least I'd likely have something to show for it by now. Ok hurry up & get the KS stuff out so I can buy the 2p starter set already before I go broke lol.

Or not... They must be shipping to California last as me and a bud have not received ours yet.

T

Got my shipping notice finally yaaay. I take it WWX have much fewer staff than Mantic hehe.

Haven't gotten mine yet either. Frustrating.

Model Assembly Instructions

We have assembly instructions ready to go.

For anyone who has received their rewards you have found the Hired Hands and other plastic pieces in your box. These awesome models have amazing detail but because of the speed we needed to pack them at our printer did not have time to get us the instructions needed for the packages.

This required us to create PDFs that are now live on our website. Please follow this link to view or print out assembly instructions for all of the plastic items currently released.

As these go to retail next month we will provide the instructions in the box. For now anyone can use the website to get the information needed.

The link is here.

http://www.wildwestexodus.com/assembly-instructions/

Thanks for being patient with us everyone. Oh, you may see a few links currently not available. Don't worry about those we are adding them as you read this.

As noted, they aren't all up there yet, but will be soon.

My pledge arrived a few days ago, really happy with it. The quality is outstanding, both the plastics and resin. The hard cover rulebook is also really high quality, very heavy and has a lot of story stuff in it (that I haven't read yet). The tokens and templates look good too. Well packed, order was correct, some nice sheets were included etc. Can't fault WWX in any way for how they've handled this KS.

The plastics have to be the highest quality plastics that I've seen, at least on par with the Eisenkern also made by WGF, those guys are the masters of plastic it seems. My only problem with them is that there are no options - it's not really multi-pose plastic, it's just high quality plastic. Plastic is good for multi pose so it's a shame to not see that taken advantage of, though the kit will still result in some very sexy models. The resin also has no optional components that I could see, not that I expect them with resin - Vic is the only good one that I've seen add optional heads and such with good resin kits lately. I'm glad I went in for 6 iron horses, I think they're going to make great chaos bikes once they're chaosified a little.

I know as soon as I get the required points put together and painted; I'll definitely put in an application for this. Would love to see this game grow.

Thanks Sean!

I wouldn't mind getting into this unfortunately Wayland games seem to be the only uk supplier which puts that on hold til more interest is shown. Which I am surprised by how little interest there is

Whoa, a friend just forwarded this pic, that is one sweet looking bear (Geronimo). Are the models available to buy yet?
