KICKSTARTER: WILD WEST EXODUS



Nuevo Kickstarter en esta ocasión de Outlaw Miniatures, ayer publicamos una entrevista con Alessio Cavatore donde decía que oiriamos muy pronto de Kickstarters donde el participa, aquí tenéis uno de esos Kickstarters. Las miniaturas son a 35 mm y esta muy bien. Me gusta sobre todo la facción de indios nativos, bueno también por que tienen un lobito de nada, pero los indios me han enamorado. Creo que esta bastante bien el Kickstarter y veremos en estos días como marcha las cosa. Por ahora tenéis aquí todo el Kickstarter, nos leemos Wargamer.



GAROU_DEN: A MI LOS DISEÑOS ME RECUERDAN A ESTA SERIE DE MI INFANCIA.





Notice: All miniatures come unpainted and some assembly required.












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 corruption. The Dark Council.  Under the  influence of these mysterious strangers, the men and women of this terrible new age struggle with every fiber of their being, clawing for the least scrap of victory. There is no certain future as a continent is torn apart, 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 in a world very much like our own, but twisted by the forces of deepest evil.  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 game will feature a full range of highly detailed 35mm models, sculpted by some of the best digital sculptors in the industry. These amazing miniatures will be produced on the best equipment, using the highest levels of technology, and will drive this action-based whirlwind of darkness and death into an ever-evolving future brimming with desolation and despair. A regular comic book series 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!
But we cannot do this right without you. 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 pledge today! 






Wild West Exodus is a miniatures game played by 2 to 4 players in control of the faction of their choice.  In the world of WWX, every model has the potential to be a hero or a villain.  The game mechanics and rule set, currently in development with Alessio Cavatore, will feature exciting game play from the first dice roll.  Each player will be allowed to field a posse of 6 to 40 models.  The WWX rules have been designed to allow for scaling of the game to high or low model counts without causing rules issues. 
One of the most exciting parts of the Wild West Exodus game mechanic is the reusable influence pool.  The influence pool will give players the option to gamble away a set amount of tokens in return for a reroll of the dice.  Be careful what you gamble on because once the tokens are committed they are lost for that turn.  The D10 system gives the game life and options that round out easily and allow for quick decision making. 
Each faction consists of a structured army list.  All factions will have 1 Boss model, 0 to 3 Underboss models, 0 to 5 Sidekick models, and an endless amount of Hired Hands.  This really gives the gamer the option to field a force led by one mighty general commanding a horde of troops or the complete opposite.  Some gamers may choose to load up on trained and dedicated Sidekicks and Underbosses to keep a close eye on their beloved Boss.  No matter what option you take, the world of Wild West Exodus will engulf you in fun and excitement from your very first game.

The first four factions in Wild West Exodus will feature a variety of characters and models.  You will recognize names such as Billy the Kid, Jesse James and General Grant of the Union Army.  Other names like Agent Lucinda Loveless, Jake "Smiley" Williamson and the powerful creation XIII may seem foreign at first but will quickly make their way into your army list.  Below you will find a brief description of these unruly factions waiting for you to create the most effective combo to pit against your opponent.
The Union:
Having mercilessly crushed the Confederacy in the recent Civil War, the full power of the North now turns its greedy eyes westward. Fueled by the full destructive potential of stolen scientific technologies, the Unions might seem unstoppable. It seeks to defend itself against any threat that might rise up against it by crushing all those who could even pose such a menace. Without pity or compassion, the stampeding juggernaut annihilates anything in its path as it continues to consolidate an entire continent beneath its armored boot.

Each Union Starter Box contains:

  • 5x Hired Hands - Long Range Weapons

The Outlaws:
Desperate men, who have turned their backs on the very concept of decency and honor, live as wanted criminals.  These degenerates of society struggle for a moment in the spotlight, caring only for the recognition of infamy.  Their egos drive body counts higher and higher with each town they pass through. With the clandestine assistance of renegade scientists these men will stop at nothing to be the strongest, fastest, most frightening specters in the Wild West. From bio-mechanical implants to stolen experimental weaponry, only death may stop their headlong quest for fame and wealth. Powerful weapons and a reckless way of life have made the Outlaws a force to be reckoned with.

The Warrior Nation:
The proud descendants of the men who were once the lords and masters of the entire continent, now fight to regain power.  These Native American warriors have thrown off the noose of enforced servitude to the United States.  Joining their tribes together they form an alliance of unparalleled strength that taps into ancient spiritual power.   No longer does the Warrior Nation allow others to take from them the land of their ancestors. Confronting the twisted science of tomorrow with the purity of the Earth, the Warrior Nation has taken up the mantle of protector of the land, and will stop at nothing to eradicate this new threat.

The Enlightened:
The greatest scientific minds of a generation have been twisted and corrupted by the whispered words of a dark and mysterious force. Once, in another reality, soaring towers of graceful steel would have risen up into the sky built by these men. But now brutal machines of destruction, powered by the very essence of evil, seek to crush the ignorant beneath their iron weight. Medicine that could have saved countless lives now drags the helpless dead back into the land of the living.   Mindless automatons moving solely at the direction of these crazed geniuses.  Men so convinced of the purity of their own motives and ideals that nothing can be allowed to question them.  Once heralded as the saviors of mankind, they now stand to provide the tools and weapons set on destroying all living things on earth.

Wild West Exodus has been built around a 32mm to 35mm model range.  We chose this size purposely to give our sculptors the ability to fill each model with as much detail as possible.  Many games today also create their miniatures using this same scale of 32mm to 35mm.  In the miniature industry, it is common place to simply call your models 28mm as that is the general term for tabletop wargaming. The actual models for all ranges vary from as small as 25mm to as large as 45mm for what is considered standard models.  We hope that this scale gives you an idea of how our models will work with current systems and available terrain.  






The team at Wild West Exodus has been assembled with many of the top names from the miniature industry.  From concept artists to 3D sculptors, no stone was left unturned in finding the best people to be a part of Outlaw Miniatures.  Our creative team always starts each model following a specific designated course.  This begins with a team meeting to discuss the game play and overall feel of the model in the Wild West Exodus Universe.  Soon after, it is taken to concept art where the model truly takes shape.  We quickly find ourselves with amazing 3D sculptures.  These are printed using sophisticated 3D printing machines and a master is created.  From there, full production can start once the master has been approved by the creative staff.  This will ensure that every model you receive from Outlaw Miniatures will be the best quality available on the market.    






From Concept Art to Finished Model

One of the truly exciting parts about Wild West Exodus will be the regularly released comic book.  This new series will not only tell an awesome story depicting each and every character you see as a model but will continue to grow the range as well.  By having the flexibility of introducing new characters via our comic book series, we have the opportunity to showcase a model's characteristics each issue.  This fun way of bringing new characters into the world will hopefully allow people to get even more emotionally attached to the models they are using.  Imagine how excited you will be when your favorite model pushes Billy the Kid or Jesse James to the verge of death while riding off into the sunset with a bag full of gold.  This is just one more exciting part about Wild West Exodus.












Below you will find all of our various pledge levels.  Please keep in mind that Kickstarter is a wonderful place that allows young companies like ours to give back to the people that support us.  The current pledge levels may change unexpectedly from day to day.  The changes will only be to increase the amount of cool items and bonuses that you will receive.  As stretch goals are met and broken more cool items and future release will be unlocked.  You will find that with your support we will make this the best Kickstarter campaign to date.

Everyone involved at Outlaw Miniatures would be considered the best as what they do. This means that our concept artists and 3D sculptors always have on time work provided to us to keep the flow and calendar moving. All of the first wave miniatures have been 3D sculpted and will go directly into production once the Kickstarter campaign successfully funds. This guarantees that minimal to no delays will happen with most of these models.
All second wave models, stretch goals and unlocked items will fall into the work flow schedule just days after the campaign successfully funds. Be assured that an entire team of over 15 dedicated members will make the delivery of all items in this Kickstarter their #1 priority.
We will keep everyone informed each step of the way as we move forward. This will happen with regular emails and an active forum atwww.wildwestexodusforum.com, which is designed to deliver the latest information.
