Outlaw Miniatures has announced that Wayland Games will now be in charge of the Wild West Exodus game line. The game has been around for several years now and while it continues to grow and evolve, the folks at Outlaw Miniatures have realized that they don't quite have the time and staff to properly manage the game as they feel it deserves.
Romeo Filip from Outlaw Miniatures will still occasionally be involved with character creation and some creative direction, but basically, it's Wayland Games' baby now. In the announcement, Romeo stated, "As many of you have noticed over the past few months our team has gone a bit silent. This silence in no way signaled an end of Wild West Exodus or the respected brand it has become. Actually, the exact opposite has been taking place in the deep underbelly of the Dr. Carpathian labs. Over the past 12 months I, as the creator of the game have realized I needed more help. I realized that it takes a team to build and progress a game like ours. A team much larger then what I personally was able to put together at Outlaw Miniature. I and the rest of our staff felt that if we wanted the game to be incredible that something would need to change."

Well, it's getting to be bedtime. Gotta get to sleep so I can make the epic migration back to the sauna that is Atlanta in August. I'm going to miss Gen Con. This was a good year. Despite the fact that I didn't get really much of a chance to hang out with too many people (Gen Con, if nothing else, is hundreds of "we'll hang out later" comments said in passing that, sadly, never get to actually happen), it was still a pretty good show. Lots of things to see. Lots of big announcements. And lots of photos. My phone says I've taken over 1,600 in the past several days, a good portion of which have been posted here for you. Speaking of which, here's the last galleries from the show.

Gamers are sort of known, stereotypically, for never really going anywhere. We're supposedly the type to stay in basements, only to come out to slink our way in the darkness to the LGS and then back again. Occasionally we go to a convention. But the reality is that gamers are just like other people. Some love to travel and see the world. Many of us are history buffs of some form or another. Well, Geek Nation Tours is here for those types of gamers with a pair of new tours they're doing.
The first I'll mention is one I wish I could go on. How would you like to go visit the sights in Sparta and Ancient Greece (not, like, time-traveling or anything like that. But just how things look now)? I know it's something I'd like to do. Along with seeing the various sights, you'd also get to hang out with the Red Republic Games fellas and play some Arena Rex.
For those that would like something a bit more recent, historically-speaking, there's the Little Big Horn tour. Go out west and learn about a rather dark spot in American history. Along the way, chat with the guys from Outlaw Miniatures and play some Wild West Exodus.
Both the tours have days and days worth of things happening in them, so be sure to check out the pages for further details and booking information.

Woo! Friday! Woo! Most of my friends are talking about Star Wars. I've not seen it yet. Perhaps sometime soon. But it is cool to see how integrated into the mainstream our "geeky" culture has become. Now we don't have to be shy and reluctant to talk about the things we love. We can just be who we want to be, which is pretty awesome.

The weekend is once more almost upon us. We stand at the precipice of two whole days of not-work (well, I'll still be making updates, but that's alright).

For 30,000 years the Heragul Empire stood against wars, insurrections, and rebellions. Every enemy they had encountered had been crushed. None could stand against their might. Several weeks ago however, everything changed.
A new alien raced called the Surakari launched numerous attacks on the Heragul Empire. Within two weeks, six star systems had fallen to the invaders. The initial attack wave turned their attention on the Minex system. Over the course of a month, Heragul and Surakari forces engaged in battles of all sizes throughout this critical system. Hundreds of warships were destroyed. Inch by Inch the Heragul fell back, until the battle of Minex Four. Surakari forces smashed their way through the defenders to destroy the water mining facilities on the surface of the icy planet. Heragul forces gave pursuit into the thin atmosphere of Minex Four and broke the back of the attackers.

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce three Maneuver Dial Upgrade Kits for X-Wing™!
X-Wing is a two-player miniatures game that invites you to enter the Star Wars universe and pilot iconic starships in tense, breakneck battles of skill and daring. The first player to destroy his opponent’s squad is the victor, and a vast assortment of ships and upgrades gives you the ability to infinitely customize your squadron.
In every game of X-Wing, you and your opponent secretly plot your ships’ movements using cardboard maneuver dials and maneuver templates. Now, you can command your starfighters with greater aplomb and further customize the aesthetics of your squadron by situating each ship’s maneuver dial within a secure and stylish plastic housing!
finally the DRAGON QUEEN is available! First model designed by our character artist Melissa Spandri and sculpted by Alfonso Prieto Sarti. The dragon is 70mm tall (including the plinth) and the queen is 30mm scale. We received the first 50 units and they are flawless! thanks to our new Italian resin factory :)
This set of downloadable Cardstock CharactersTM miniatures contains three variations on five different figures, a Champion, Infantryman, Archer, Cavalryman, and War Dog. They are the ideal addition to any sort of tabletop fantasy RPG or wargame and can be used to enhance encounters or even serve as the basis for them. The different variations can also be used to easily reflect different levels and capabilities and they have been given colors that can also make them especially suitable as royal or imperial guards. One of the factions also has plain shields that can easily be customized if desired.
These miniatures were designed specifically for both the tabletop and video versions of the H.G. Wells' Little Orc Wars miniatures game. We hope you and your players will enjoy battling with them!

This week has been a complete whirlwind! I had no idea how much time, sweat, lack of sleep, and emotional ups and downs went with launching a Kickstarter campaign. Before I joined the Atheris Games team, I had heard of Kickstarter and had wasted multiple hours looking at cool prototypes, but I had never even paid attention to some of the intricacies of a well done campaign. When most people hear about a company on Kickstarter, they think someone just came up with a cool idea and now they want MY money to help it become a reality. Well, that’s somewhat true. :) I don’t think that most people realize that with Kickstarter you are either all in or nothing at all. If you don’t completely meet your funding goal, you get nothing. Absolutely nothing.
We are incredibly fortune to have funded and to do so in at an incredible pace!
We launched on Thursday night at 8:30pm. I’m going to let you in on a little secret, we were working on the campaign page right up until we launched it. I’m pretty sure the video was added right at 8:30pm! Andrew and Chuck were at the Startup Hour Gainesville announcing the launch and mingling with potential backers. I was getting the social media posts ready to announce that we were going live, launching the Kickstarter campaign, and also testing to make sure the links worked. Barry was finalizing the video, and Allan and Sebastian were working on graphics/illustrations for the game. No one was sitting back and enjoying the moment (sadly). But, that’s what you have to realize when you launch a campaign, it’s a lot of hard work and it is a real team effort.
Within one hour, we raised $5,515. Incredible! Within 52 hours, we raised $10,000. As I write this post, we have amassed $12,191 with 24 long days ahead!
So, here is what you have missed behind the scenes:
Attending gaming conferences Answering emails Creating, posting, and responding to social media content Holding t-shirt giveaways Developing stretch goals Getting quotes from manufacturers Getting previews of more artwork (we promise to share some soon) Reaching out to the press and bloggers Going to gaming stores and setting up test play events Getting interviewed by the press and…. obsessively checking our pledging and backer stats!
Metal King Studio is proud to announce that the production miniatures for their upcoming release Relicblade: Adventure Battle Game have arrived.

With the figures in hand the first sets of Relicblade will be available very soon! Keep and eye on Metal King Studio's Facebook page and Relicblade.com for updates.

Well, after the fake-out that was on yesterday (a cruel trick by Wednesday in making me feel that the day after would be Friday, when it obviously wasn't), we have made it to the real Friday. It's going to be a busy one for me. I've gotta make a cheesecake tonight for a friend's birthday tomorrow, as well as raspberry and white chocolate syrups to go with it. Yes, it's all homemade.
As for other things you can cut up and eat in a single bite, here's some snippets I've come across in the past couple days.
This batch includes: Blacksmith Miniatures Releases Morbag The Goblin, Another World Miniatures: Painting Contest, Wild West Exodus Previews New Render, and New Wargames Vehicle range released from Waugh Games.
And we've made it back to Sunday. At least for me, the day to get stuff done around the apartment and prep for the oncoming week. I might get in some electronic gaming later on, though. Hey, you can't
And we've made it back to Sunday. At least for me, the day to get stuff done around the apartment and prep for the oncoming week. I might get in some electronic gaming later on, though. Hey, you can't make it out to the LGS every day (try as some might). ;)
Since it is Sunday, we've got some bite-sized stories for you, as usual.
In this batch is: HS Stencil System - Wave 2 - from Anarchy Models on Kickstarter, New render for Wild West Exodus, Dragonborn - Symphonic Album for Table RPGs on Kickstarter, Another World Miniatures: Magnus The Witchhunter Is Online, Tabletop Adapters releases unique 32mm Adapter, Yay Games To Release Sandcastles at Essen, Vengeance Oct Releases Posted, and The Book of Starry Wisdom: Apocrypha of Lovecraft's Cthulhu on Kickstarter.
Thanks to our wonderful backers last year, our campaign for wave 1 of the HS Stencil System was a great success, and they have proved very popular since too.
We always get asked by our customers/fans if we can add this or that to the range. In particular, many of you wanted more Creature Feature designs, as the Mottled is VERY popular and you also wanted some smaller scale grids.
So we have come back to Kickstarter again this year to add some of the most asked for designs to the range, as well as some others, funding/time permitting.
Nominated for Hollywood Music in Media Awards for her CD “Legends: Fantasy Violin”, violinist and composer Julia Okrusko is working on her new release, “Dragonborn: Fantasy Symphony”. The Kickstarter funds will cover recording, mixing, mastering, cover design, and the manufacturing of the discs.
This symphonic album will be produced ombining the traditional musical language and techniques with fantasy elements, themes, and sounds. The inspiration for this work came from Skyrim, video game world of fantasy with incredible gaming aesthetics and profound mythology. The power and missions of the main character, Dragonborn, became the inspiration for this work, Symphony No.1 in D minor "Dragonborn". The symphony is in 4 movements, each featuring different atmosphere and characters, that are united through motives, rhythms, and themes to create a symphonic portrait of Dragonborn and the external and internal realities of being immersed in the world of fantasy.
Back in march, Tabletop Adapters released a kickstarter campaign for a unique 32 mm adapter. This adapter is now available for purchase. The adapter can be used to extend the base of a 25 mm miniature. It works by having a large surface buttom where the miniature can rest upon. It enables the base to be fit firmly, or to be temporarily fit with a sticky material. The adapter is easy to use and comes at a great price. The same kickstarter deals are available right now.
Gamers sometimes complain about games having the same old themes (don’t mention Zombies) or that a theme has just been plastered onto a game. These are not statements that could be laid at the feet of up and coming British board game publisher YAY Games.
Following on from the cult success of Frankenstein’s Bodies, a highly thematic game about building your very own “creature” out of spare body parts, YAY are set for the international launch of Sandcastles.
“We are hoping that folks at Essen really take our latest brain child into their hearts. In Sandcastles you are on a beach trying to build the best sandcastle you can before the big wave comes crashing in." Says Andrew Harman YAY Games chief creative.
He goes on to warn in a tongue in cheek way. "Don’t get too comfortable playing in the sand though because the other players could be planning on using crabs, seagulls of their own buckets to kick over your glorious creation and steal your sandy glory!”
Sandcastles is a very portable tile placement game for 1 to 7 players and lasts around 30 minutes. If you’re looking for a game to take on holiday to play with your family, look no further
YAY Games are getting a reputation for producing games with interesting themes that are easy to learn and pack in a lot of interaction. They can be found at booth 2E-121 at Essen.
The Book of Starry Wisdom compiles newly edited editions of H.P. Lovecraft’s public domain cycle of Cthulhu stories, edited and produced by myself, Simon Berman, and illustrated by renowned deific and fantasy artist, Valerie Herron (The Book of the Great Queen).
Accompanied by essays and musings by some of today’s premiere Lovecraftian scholars, writers, and devotees, The Book of Starry Wisdom will be a luxurious, approximately 192 page hardback tome, featuring a leather textured cover with gold foil pressed symbols of significance to the Cult of Cthulhu, 13 interior B&W illustrations, as well as other features to be unlocked as the Kickstarter meets its stretch goals. This premium volume will be a stunning addition to the library of any enthusiast of H.P. Lovecraft or worshipper of Dead Cthulhu Who Lies Dreaming.

Friday! Woo! *tosses papers in the air* *remembers that there's still a good half of the day left* *scrambles to try and put all those thrown papers back in order* *has his boss lean in and say, "Polar Bear! Do you have those TPS reports all set and ready for the presentation? It's time!"* "Uh, yes, boss! Just a second!"
Ok, that little creative writing exercise aside, let's get on with the bite-size stories from the past couple days.
In this batch we have: Free Stowage with all tanks From Warlord Games, New Morbid Egzekutor Amarath from Hitech Miniatures, Ramshackle Games Water Seller Competition, Space Duck Games Announces El Presidente Kickstarter, Kromlech New Release - Stygian Legionary Backpacks, Stonemaier Games announces Kickstarter project for Scythe board game, Cyclops-Class Assault Armor now available at ClearHorizon Miniatures, Playmore Games'Race to the North Pole begins October 2015, Rocky Mountain Gaming vacation announces Special Guest, Steve Barber Models Posts "About Us" Video, New Female Orc From Brother Vinni, and New Renders For Wild West Exodus From Outlaw Miniatures.

Flatlined Games will soon start the Kickstarter Campaign for Argo, the new game by Bruno Faidutti and Serge Laget.

Hello . Today new miniature which is fourth member of Morbid Angels squad we prepare, Amarath . This week we hope relase fifth member and offer You whole squad with special price ! Stay tuned :)
Its competition time! I made a model of a post-apoc water seller to show off some of the awesome vehicles you can make with Ramshackle Games parts. I’m giving the model away to a good home. To win this model please send me a 300 word story. The story has to be set in the world of Nuclear Renaissance. Other than that the rules are pretty loose, and can run to more than 300 words if you want. Please include your name (or nickname) with the story, and submit it as email text or as an attached txt, rtf, word, pdf or other common format of text file. The closing date for the competition is October the 10th.
El Presidente is a rich and deep strategy game for 3-6 players set on the idyllic paradise of Savatori which focuses on bizarre islanders, over the top actions and a political rat race between 6 of the most morally dubious, sneaky and corrupt candidates Savatori have ever seen! Presidente Fernando Manda, or ‘El Presidente’ as he was affectionately known, has been found dead under strange, but frankly somewhat predictable, circumstances. After his untimely demise a power vacuum has been created and it needs to be filled by one of the more competent, politically enlightened Savatorians (OK fine, whomever is handy and can face the right direction while standing on a podium!).
In El Presidente you play as one of those ‘enlightened’ folk, each with their own past history and motivations in trying to topple the competition and become the next leader of the island of Savatori. You will achieve this by campaigning around the island, collecting resources and employing agents to bolster popularity with the Savatorians. Naturally you will also want to build the shiniest limo so you can carry more helpers!
It’s not all about you though. Intermittently you will have to work with your competitors to make sure that Savatori doesn’t fall into complete anarchy, and then claim you were their saviour all along!
Space Duck’s approach to board games is that they should be engaging, social and fun! With that in mind, you can expect lots of wacky characters, puns a plenty and oodles of trading and backstabbing as you try to become the next El Presidente!
Designed especially for Stygian warriors. This backpack pattern has additional psychic force container which is very helpful for psychic gifted Legionaries.
Stonemaier Games is back on Kickstarter with their most ambitious project yet: Scythe, a 4x board game set in an alternate history, 1920s Eastern Europe. Designed by Jamey Stegmaier, illustrated by Jakub Rozalski, and blind playtested over 750 times, Scythe offers a number of unique mechanisms in this beautiful setting. The Kickstarter campaign will run from October 13 to November 5. The game will ship to backers in August 2016.
The Cyclops-Class Assault Armor is cutting edge, battlefield tested, advanced combat armor designed to take on the most extreme of threats in any environment and come out on top.
Armed with a shoulder-mounted Mk. 4 AT missile system for hardened targets and arm-mounted 60mm and rapid-fire 30mm autocannons to deliver punishing firepower at any range, the Cyclops-Class Assault Armor is often at the forefront of planetary invasions and urban combat operations.
Designed with an armored cockpit for one pilot the Cyclops can also be remote or AI-controlled depending on battlefield threat and ECM levels.
The Cyclops-Class Assault Armor is approx. 45mm tall and is a multi-part 15mm scaled metal miniature.
Playmore Games is releasing a new thrilling board game for 2-4 players called Race to the North Pole. The game features an innovative rotating game board mechanism that simulates the harsh arctic weather conditions. It is released in October at Spiel ‘15.
In the game players guide their own expedition teams towards the center of the board - the North Pole. Players have to take in account the unpredictable weather conditions, cunning competition and the ever changing arctic maze.
When a storm sweeps through the Arctic the game board rotates and everything changes, as the pawns and cards travel on the board while the cracks in the ice form a completely new kind of a maze. The game is easy to learn but hard to master as it’s designed to have a perfect balance between skill and luck.
Race to the North Pole is a Fusion Board Game and it will be the first game to feature Dized application. Dized will allow players to use smart devices along with the game. The optional free to download app is designed to enha nce the game experience beyond what traditional components can do. It will include several new game mechanics that add to the already endless replayability of the game. It will also feature video tutorials and localizations of the rules. Dized will be released alongside the game in October.
The game will ship with an innovative rulebook that is inspired by comic books. It relies heavily on images and will teach players to play the game considerably faster than a traditional text based rulebook would.
The game is released with several blank pieces and players are encouraged to customize the game further with new items, cards, teams and North Pole discs.
Race to the North Pole will be available to purchase at Spiel ‘15. Pre-ordering will only be available in Finland.

The Bell Boeing V-212 Pegasus is a United Nations multi-mission, tilt rotor military aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short take-off and landing (STOL) capability. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
The V-212 originated from the United Nations Weapons Research laboratories which escaped damage during the ‘Great Purge’ due to its hidden location in the Eden Section. For takeoff and landing, it typically operates as a helicopter with the nacelles vertical and rotors horizontal. Once airborne, the nacelles rotate forward 90° in as little as 6 seconds for horizontal flight, converting the V-212 to a more fuel-efficient, high speed turboprop aircraft. STOL rolling-takeoff and landing capability is achieved by having the nacelles tilted forward up to 45°.Other orientations are possible, such as the "80 Jump" take-off which uses nacelles at 80° to quickly achieve high altitude and speed.
Composite materials make up 95% of the airframe, and prop rotor blades. Most missions use fixed wing flight 75% or more of the time, reducing wear and tear and operational costs. The V-212 can carry a squad of 8 – 10 troops and its two pilots. For flak and infantry suppression the Pegasus is armed with dual 20mm Gatling cannon, controlled by the co-pilot and 6 multipurpose missile systems, 3 on each wing. Dedicated spec ops and Gunship versions are also under research at the UMWRL. A Quad aircraft is also under evaluation
The V-212 Pegasus VTOL is ready for preorders at a special price of £12.99 (RRP is £13.99) or a pack of three for £37.50. Preorders will be open for three weeks and delivery will begin one week after if not sooner. Resin and metal casting are currently in progress.
The Pegasus comes in several parts. Two tilt rotors, one hull, one tail and then two sets of undercarriage to represent them raised or lowered two Gatling Cannon and two rocket systems.
Preorders will begin on September the 21st ending on October the 12th. Orders will then ship that week. The cost of one Pegasus is £12.99 (reduced from £13.99) or three for £37.50
Please drop me a note if you have any questions or would like a larger order :)

The 7th Continent is a game of exploration and survival for 1 to 4 players, inspired by the gamebooks where YOU are the hero. You play the role of an explorer at the beginning of the 20th century who has returned from an expedition to the newly discovered 7th Continent, a mysterious and hostile land inspired by Jules Verne and H.P. Lovecraft. You have brought more than relics and tales of adventure back with you however, a nefarious curse now eats away at your soul and you must return to the continent to find out what ails you and purge it… or die trying.
Progress at your own pace through this mysterious land, building the board piece by piece with numbered Terrain and Event cards.
The long-awaited expansion for the 2011 hit zombie deck-building game, Eaten by Zombies is finally happening! The license for the game changed hands from Mayday Games to Ginger Ale Games, with game designer Max Holliday at the helm. Fan of Eaten by Zombies have been asking for new content for the game for a couple of years and Holliday and his team at Ginger Ale Games are excited to be bringing it to Kickstarter at the end of this month!
The Eaten by Zombies: Burn it Down! expansion is scheduled to launch on the popular crowd-funding site, Kickstarter, on Wednesday, Sept. 30, and will run through Halloween on Saturday, Oct. 31.
Ginger Ale Games has several unique add-ons and some exciting stretch goals planned for the campaign with an $8,000 funding goal.
“We really hope there is still enough interest out there to get this expansion funded,” said Ginger Ale Games founder, and EbZ designer Max Holliday. “If things go well, we hope to publish more content in the future and even a deluxe version of the game with new rules!”
Some of the exciting extras for the game include a custom Eaten by Zombies playmat, a special box designed to hold all the current EbZ cards, special guest-artist zombie sets and more!
The Lowry Agency in association with Club Fantasci have announced their new video series entitled Quick Sell to the board game, role-playing game and card game industry. The series is based on a growing need for publishers to distinguish their game from other games coming out at such a rapid pace in this new era of gaming.
The Quick Sell series came about after several meetings and conversations with several industry professionals after seeing a need for deeper marketing and positioning in the industry. With so many new games coming to market through traditional and crowdfunding sources, the ability to cut through the white noise is more important than ever.

The Wild West. It's hard to get more "American" than the wide-open spaces of the prairie. The time right after the Civil War when men were men and women were men, too, holds a lot of nostalgia for Americans. Much of our imagery of "what it is to be an American" comes from that time and place. So it seems only right that the guys at Outlaw Miniatures would have a big sale for the 4th of July.
So, over in the Outlaw Miniatures webshop, you can get between 10% and 40% off your order. The sale starts today and goes until the 6th. So you basically have the weekend in order to make your purchases. Don't miss out.

Outlaw Miniatures saddled up and set out to cut 'em off at the pass with the launch of their Wild West Exodus: Unfinished Business Kickstarter campaign. The crux of this campaign is to bring new factions to the game. They've got 4 planned, and want to make sure each one has the requisite minis to be competitive right away. And seeing as they're ~150% funded, and rising, with 26 days still to go, I'd say that'll happen.
From the campaign:
Wild West Exodus is a Sci-Fi Wild West Miniatures Game set in an alternate history wild west. Strange technologies corrupt the land and death lurks at every corner. RJ-1027, the infamous power source created by Dr. Burson Carpathian is the catalyst behind the constantly escalating arms race between the factions that make up Wild West Exodus.
In 2012 Wild West Exodus entered the Miniature Wargaming industry with a successful Kickstarter of the initial game. We released 5 factions during that campaign. The Outlaws, The Lawmen, The Warrior Nation, The Enlightened and The Union all came to life because of our first successful kickstarter.
Soon after the first kickstarter was finished and products shipped we took on the challenge of releasing our first none kickstarter funded faction called the Holy Order Of Man.
We quickly realized that taking on a whole new faction requires a large investment of company funds. This slowed the new releases for the Holy Order of Man and showed us what type of time table an entire new faction would require.
Since that time many of our dedicated fans and former kickstarter backers have asked about the remaining 4 factions hinted at during the first kickstarter and in our 5 novels released since.
The honest truth is that it would take us 4 or 5 years to release the remaining four factions in our amazing world of Wild West Exodus.
This is the reason for our second kickstarter. We want to get these miniatures and factions to our customers and fans as quickly as possible. We feel that with a successful kickstarter campaign we can produce and ship all of the unlocked stretch goals in 12 months or less.
Please help us fund this venture and let's bring these four remaining factions to life. Amazing characters and deadly creatures await their unveiling.
Notice: All miniatures come unpainted and some assembly required.

Hey there gaming buddies, it's time again for another Sunday Snippets here on TGN.
So what's happening? We've got some photos of Medrin cast in resin resin, Torn Armor gives us an update of their 3D renders with Reaper, a look at some new 10mm terrain from War Mage Games, a new release from Hitech Miniatures, some new template colors from Micro Art Studios, and more.
Tim has been working with Reaper Miniatures to refine models according to their molding and production process. Earlier this year we did a test run of two 3d prints, and while they printed just fine and dandy, some adjustments were needed. Tim has applied the results of this test to all of the models shown below, which I believe puts us in good shape for a reprint and another test.
The plan is to mold them up and do a test production run ... so I don't know about you, but I think 2015 is going to start off on a lovely bounce forwards.
So without further ado, let me show you the tweaked masters (some of these may not look very different from the originals, but you'll notice a general thickening up of pieces)
Well, I think it's time for the second small present to you all. I was going to hang fire on showing the full Atalanta concept by Roberto Cirillo until Heracles was launched, but that seemed rather mean. So, I'm showing her off now . What's even more exciting is that sculptor of the Bombshell Babes miniatures- Patrick Keith - will be starting work on realising her near the end of next month! Been wanting to utilize Patrick's talents for quite a long time now, so it's great that we've found something rather cool to do! Continued happy wishes for the season to you all!
I've had a marvelous few days chilling out at my parents' over the Christmas period, I've eaten some outstanding food, I got some funky new toys to play with, it's been a very good time! I hope you've had fun, however you've spent the festive period. :)
But, the Infamy train keeps on rolling along! So, with a spectacular 2014 coming to an end it's time for me to get back on track with the Kickstarter, progress as much as I can and be in a good position for getting pledges out to you all next year! :D
So, just how are the models progressing? Here's the list of all of the sculpts that still have work to do and the status on them.
The next boss in line is someone history buffs will know. Many will wonder how this guy is still alive in the late 1800's but you'll have to wait for the fluff on the Golden Army to find out. Get read for a nasty bunch of bandits.

Hi everyone. Just a few days at Christmas. We are in the period of gifts. So we want to give previews of our new project “Undergound”. They are the first sections 10×10 cm. of the “sewer” and “underground”. As you can see from the images of the walls have dynamic sections that can be removed and replaced as best you want. We will create many other, to provide valid solutions for use in a dungeon that respects.How secret passages, doors, sections in different materials such as wood, stone, metal … The new year will see us engaged in the realization of this project abbizioso. But, not only in this.
Join veteran caster and mold maker Johnny Lauck (a.k.a. JohnnyBorg) as he explores all the fubar with crowdfunding projects in a 10 article series.

"What's a news snippet?" I hear you ask. Well, they're just those shorter stories that we come across here at TGN that don't have much to go with it. Maybe it's a piece of concept art that we don't know what specific game it's for. Or it's an unlabeled green. Or it's something else along those lines that aren't a full story, but we want to make sure you know about it anyway. We've collected them together and have them here for you now.

Outlaw Miniatures gives us a look at how things are coming along with the next set of releases for Wild West Exodus.
Bad news first. Due to the way that the conclusion of Kickstarter and some of the issues with replacement parts we have had the production casting of some of our upcoming models delayed by about 2 weeks. All of our pre-ordered models from December and January including Irontooth, Bill Brocius, Tesla, Warren Earp, Virgil Earp, Grant Alt 2, and Alternate Wyatt Earp (Outlaw vs. Lawmen 2-Player Box) will be delayed and will not begin shipping until at least February 1st, 2014.
Following to the good news. Regular releases from the Kickstarter will become available for 'Order' this Friday. This means that Orders made from the store that do not include pre-ordered items will begin shipping within 1 business day from ordering. This is a great opportunity to begin sharing the game with your friends and gaming clubs, knowing that orders will begin shipping shortly after ordering. I hope you guys are as excited as we are to start getting models out to the gaming community of the world to play Wild West Exodus and enjoy the heck out of the game!
