Welcome to the wicked world of Wild West Exodus!
Wild West Exodus
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 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.
These are the twilight years of the nineteenth century. 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.
Supporting the growth of this world will be a regular comic book series that 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!
A full range of highly detailed 35mm models, sculpted by some of the best digital sculptors in the industry and produced using the latest, highest level of technology, will drive this action-based whirlwind of darkness and death into an ever-evolving future brimming with desolation and despair.
Factions
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.
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 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.
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 Game
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.
