Loving more and more of the Exodus stuff… picked up a bit last year at Gencon and looking to do more of the same this year!
One of the factions I don’t have (well, except for Marie Laveau and her Nazombu snake!) I’ll take a hex posse…
I love the detail on the figs, they look amazing!!!
Yep, sold.
Heading to the EXPO soon, going to check out WWE as my first stall in the morning.
I was going to pick up Wayward Eight at expo, but that’s going to have to be online purchase now as I can’t make it this year.
Hex Posse looks interesting though.
As a bonus, those are some great minis for Deadlands, too!
this stuff is awesome just getting into this game
Hex Hex! (German readers will now smile a bit… if they are old enough XD)
The quality of the models is superb and the game is great. I hope that the expo generates even more interest. Looking forward to furthering coverage and games by beasts of war.
Every time you guys talk about this game I get a little more interested.
I still really need to get some of their mini’s, they look so beautiful
French are, or at least were, my fleet in Dystopian Wars, I’m interested in seeing the direction they take with the new sculpts, and the changes to the rules for v3 sound promising. Hex Posse looks ok, but I’ve not looked at WWX closely before.
Been seeing this one on the rise. Interesting and cool minis to boot.
I’ve just picked up the basic starter box – definitely looking to gather more factions. Great, quick fun!
The interchangeable weapons on the ships sounds like a nice rule. History buffs will correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is how a lot of new ship classes came about historically, just strapping new guns to an existing ship rather than drafting it from the blueprints up. Don’t know anything about the rules system, but I imagine even more variety could be gotten by also making armour modular, being able to add/remove plating to change how the ship acts, and like the guns having positioning matter (e.g. armouring up the prow gives you a different ship to one with the additional armour on the flanks).
I have always enjoyed the Wild West Exodus sculpts.
YEE Ha Mofo’s
ive been getting more and more of this stuff, the minis are gorgeous
as usual, gorgeous looking minis
Sorry posted as reply in error.
it was a clever ploy to make me come here and read your comment wasn’t it 😀
Indeed OR I’ve not got the hang of BoW 2.0 😉
The good thing is 2.0 let you edit the comment, so glad that feature exists now.
This stuff looks great!!
Lucky enough to get to Expo today. Picked up some of the new MDF terrain buildings which looked excellent in the flesh on the stand. Hope I can do them justice myself.
I’ve started painting minis, and I’d love to get my hands on these!
always wanted to get into Exodus
Amaising! Loving the DW reveals, I’ve been a kean player since v1 and I’m really excited for its latest iteration. Also I only descovered WWEx in March, which has quickly become a club and personal favourite 🙂 so hells yeah, sign me up for a Hex starter!
I am absolutely loving the stuff Coming out of Wild West Exodus; I haven’t picked up any of the characters yet, just the plastic troop boxes, and they are GORGEOUS. definitely a game I want to go all in on!
I still need to get in a game of WWX, but loving the miniatures
still not convinced to the choice to squash this and Dystopian Wars together, but the minis are excellent
Amazing miniatures!
Amazing coverage and the WWX stuff looks awesome. Thanks guys for all the hard work for those of us who can’t make UKGE this year. Hope to see you at Q-Con later this month 🙂

Nice to see wwe getting a new life with warcradle. I’ve always been interested by warrior nation but i wouldn’t say no to the hex.
Love wwx it’s a great game and I can’t wait to see what warcradle expands with it
Awesome looking stuff, can’t wait to see what the future brings for WWE and the Destopian age
We need more WWE in Los Angeles.
Great setting and aesthetic, should give this a try some time…
I spied some Ranger Showboat in that future release case. Calamity Jane awaits!
Love the detail on those figures and eagerly awaiting the models coming out since they look beautiful and this is one game I have kept a close eye on. Really happy that they are selling the event model through their website as well as I unfortunately am not able to get to the show.
Salute last year I got a free first edition rulebook as they were moving over to second.
Really enjoyed it actually.
Still haven’t gotten round to 2nd yet as other stuff gets in the way, but a new posse might be just the thing ?
Maybe 🙂
Wild West Exodus is a fantastic game, and the only game I’ve experienced, where all the models are so fantasticly full of flavor, that I find myself collecting all of them no matter which faction they belong to. Keep at it Warcradle!
I really like the direction they have taken with the new edition, both in terms of the new models and how they are organised, making a Hex posse a thing now. I especially love the Hex Beasts that were just released. More gribbly tentacle monsters please!
Absolute power I like the sound of that! these look amazing. I can also seeing using these for Malifaux.
I took an eye on this game. Hope to find someone to play around here…
I love the designs of the minis, the video with the lead artist was so much interesting and those concept arts for the planes were gorgeous =)
I absolutely love the exodus stuff,especially the new ones. Ive been waiting so long for the wayward eight. Great to see them out now. I cant wait to see what warcradle cobtinue to push out for d-wars too exciting times ahead
Wwx is my favourite system at the moment. Love the setting minis and gameplay. Well done warcradle guys for excellent work at second edition.
I notice on Facey-Bee they said that you blokes have a video anouncment about warcradle’s future plans. They are one of my top four gaming companies at the moment so I’ll be checking back in later to see what develops
Gozen ordered today and the new Wayward Eight with some Hex Beasts on their way in the post. Now just need to pre-order Divine Intervention and I be happy camper.
This is one game I keep looking at but I have so many games already it hasn’t made it to the top of the list yet. If I were to win a Hex Posse Starter Box, then I’d have to jump in, right?
Looks great. Need more wild west skirmish games!
I just watched Magnificent Seven. I’m not going to say whether or not it was a good movie, but it’s got me really jazzed for Wild West Exodus. Officially adding it to my list.
They are pretty minis
Would like to try out this game. Hard to find it in the mid west of the US. Sculpts look amazing!
Love the new stuff, the local group here has definitely hopped on the bandwagon with this game. Keep up the good work!
The minis look amazing.
WWE looks really nice, Warcradle doing a great job since picking the licence up.
Hex and Order are the two factions I have very little of from 1st edition. Looks like I’m going to have to get them both
Love what WarCraddle has done with the world and can’t wait to see what comes next.
I am wondering if these scale to Tombstone, I’d love to combine them. Wayward 8 is on my purchase list for the expo tomorrow
This exodus stuff just all looks so good
Love how warcradle have brought the game back from the brink. The thought and design that goes into the game is fantastic
Saw these guys at salute, some awesome and weird minis
Exodus stuff looks great and I’ve always been tempted by dystopian wars
free is the only way i’ll get to try this game
Cool, Hex is finally out!
Exodus keeps getting more people in. Lol
The Exodus novels are really good
Conquistadors? OK I’m now a lot more interested in this game!
Just getting into this series. I don’t think my wallet is ready…!
Always a great set up at shows with something new to see.
The Wayward Eight and Absolute Power are awesome!
Loving the new figures. I need to get some paint on the stuff I picked up at Adepticon.
OMG so many lovely new models and it’s great that it’s easier to get a hold of them now that WWX is in Warcradle’s hands.
They are doing a great job with the game.
Really enjoying the new stuff for WWX. Warcradle has done a great job expanding the story.
just bought the starter set, now to start painting the models.
I saw this display yesterday at UKGE and up until now paid very little attention. After seeing that display and subsequently watching all the content for the recent spotlight you ran on it I am very sold on the game.
Looks really interesting.
I`m loving their whole “three settings in one” style of approach
Once again the WWX stand was one of the top 3 highlights of the show. At first glance the cabinets didn’t seem as impressive as last year when they were chock full of awesomely painted minis, but on closer inspection they were full of treats.
My brother was really taken with the Hex starter posse – if it was on sale it would have been coming home with us!
And wow – this is the most popular comment thread so far – it seems the majority agree!
Love WWX…great minis and the fluff is great too! And I really hope the ex-spartan-stuff will be taking off….so looking forward to it!
great looking models, looking forward to Dystopian wars 3rd edition
Love the style of these minis
Kool Mini’s to win.
these guys always do nice prizes thank you
Lovely WWX stuff!
Great looking Minis
Those miniatures look great.
Can they please please please please get the license for Halo ground command as well.
It’s just such a shame they didn’t get to continue this game.
Loving the WWX stuff and it was good to see some of the Dsytopian Wars – where is my Covenant though?
Warcradle is crushing it with their new models!!
I’ve watched the theme week you guys did on this particular game. The gameplay looks like its lots of fun.
Plus who doesn’t want to paint up some cowboys!
This would be a prize for anyone to get started in this game
Sooooo pretty
Just had my first game w/ Enlightened, but I wouldn’t mind dabbling in some Hex!
Really excited to see Dystopian Wars back!
Also, those WWX minis look great!
I haven`t got the 2nd edition yet . This would be a great prize
ooh wow fantastic models.
The lure of the wild west is becoming very difficult to deny…. maybe just one small force…
So many of those posse sets coming out, I can’t wait to get my hands on and on the table!
nice one
The Distopian War looks more interesting to me
Oh man they look great
Always liked the look and feel of this game. Will hopefully get a chance to play soon.
I am exited to see what more awaits us in Dystopian age universe.
The detail on exodus minis is amazing
amazing miniatures as always, great stuff
A lot of the WWX stuff is really pretty. It is on my “One Day” list for painting if nothing else.
My Enlightened force is eagerly awaiting that Dixie Resurrection Posse and Galvanic Mysteries Posse.
Those beautiful construct units are just too cool not to have, especially ‘Unger’ aka. ‘totally not Trapjaw’ 🙂
Good thing that I started a Hex force with Marie Laveau and Slayn a couple of weeks ago, so I don’t have to wait that long for new stuff,
I already ordered myself a box of Hex Beasts, but I wouldn’t say no to the Third Man and his loyal companion Kreechur.
Some nice stuff there! The Conquistadors looks really cool!
Been looking at there stuff for an alternative to 40k
I’ve still not finished painting the figures from the 1st WWX Kickstarter, the miniatures are so characterful and detailed and it’s a great game!
Love the hex…prize me please!
Will see you guys at Gen Con.
Their sculpts are very crisp but still look very paintable. Sometimes the detail can get a bit intimidating.
Love the new minatures the sculpts are even better, just finished putting wayward eight, love em
Love this setting…Those mechanical Union soldiers are so cool looking!
liking the look of these model more and more
Nice to see the new DW models existing in the flesh, the impact of having turret options could be quite intriguing.
Got the Red Oak starter delivered on Saturday. This is looking like a very cool game.
would love this
Looking good! I know where a large chunk of my money is headed now.
Those ranges looks great. I need to start this at some point.
I am really interested in this game, the minis look incredible, and the gameplay is really good
WWX is a wonderfull game, but i haven’t played it by my self. Max be i get started with the Hex Starter Set…
Love this game and the new stuff looks AWESOME!!
Some nice models.
Very nice minis! ^^
Nice minis
Amazing minis, donot know how is is new edition for Dystopian wars but previous one was so cool with all the rules on crafts and raming, need to find time and play some games for that.
hope to see more dystopian wars stuff
I saw these in the flesh over the weekend and got an intro from the team…..
….. safe to say i invested heavily into the Lawmen ?
This looks epic!
Wild West Exodus is quickly turning into one of my favourite ranges. The stuff they’re putting out is unbelievable. Plays good too!
Yep! That sounds great to me also!
WWX looks like great fun.
Figures look amazing. I want some.
I’m loving how Dystopian Wars is starting to shape up. Any word on when we’ll see the first commercial release?
Great video, makes the wait for Gencon even worse lol. Can’t wait to see the booth, buy some stuff, and get some games in!
Some nice techie cowboys in there. And the Horse from Bravestar?
I get a Man O’War Dwarf steamship vibe off the Dystopian wars stuff. But I guess they are both riffs on historical ironclads so carry on!
More novels would be great as well. Awesome setting.
No you’re weird.
I like the idea of customizable ships. Even just changing a gun load out can make a whole new ship.
I absolutely love the Wild West Exodus stuff and the new stuff is amazing!
I missed this stand at the show, would love to get a closer look at the models
I’d love to win a copy of the Hex starter set to throw at my wife (metaphorically). Currently, she leads me in wins.
Look at that minis!! they are great!!
Outstanding Miniatures!!
Great looking models
I love WW Exodus!
Nice FIgures
Well it would be interesting to see how all the fleets shape up. Also a chance to win a new starter set sounds Hexcellent.
Honestly Hex is not my favorite faction.
These new models look quite nice.
looks good
Exodus still looks great. I don’t get to paint enough cowboys.
They’re looking sweet
would love to get the firefly posse
Glad to see that this gaming has gone on from strength to strength, And that it seems to be in good hands now with Stu in the driving seat. Keep up the good work Warcradle.
I keep picking up little bits of this game but never a concerted effort to get a playable set going. Their stand was so spectacular this year it made me want to knuckle down, finish off some sets and get them painted. Doing a great job with this IP guys, well done.
Gorgeous!
Looks beautiful 🙂
I’ve played WWX since 1st edition. I can’t wait to see what Warcradle does with this already incredibly fun game.
Interesting looking game. Would love to try it sometime.
Can’t wait to see former Spartan Games stuff properly released under Warcradle. 🙂
I really need to get playing some of this
The Whole Concept I love but i have no idea where I should hop in. Could just collect more of the minis though 😛
This game is amazing i am a Warrior Nation and Order player and i’d love to pick up the Hex next so if i could win that hell i’d go on their website asap to buy the rest :p
Starter sets good.
God i’d love to win an Hex posse since it’s a natural enemy for my faction and this game is A M A Z I N G i picked up the Warrior Nation range and fell in love with it Legendary Walks looking is one of my favourite models ever made , also picked up a few order minis and i was considering going wild on either Hex , Watchers or Order next so this one would settle the deal :p
Still determined to get more interest in this game at my club. We need some decent wild west terrain as soon as I find funds.
I wish they’d done more of a closeup on those painted minis.
Very nice miniatures.
I really like the look of the Conquistadors. That will be the faction for me to pick up for WWX.
love this game setting and story, clint was my favorite actor for a long time, and having wild west all steampunked and with the mystical native amercian factions too, it’s all kinds of awesome.
I might have to check this one out.
After seeing some of the new Lets Plays, I´m interessted in the game now…
Has a winner of the prize-kit been announced meanwhile?
