We do have campaign rules, but right now they're just "test" rules. We didn't add them to the main rulebook just because we wanted to keep it simple. Some day we'll put together a big hardback rulebook that will include everything, but that's a long ways off. But you can download the PDF for the campaign rules on our download page here:

Also, we just launched an all new official forum hosted by DakkaDakka.com. I just posted some preliminary details on our upcoming "werd west" expansion. Will be an ongoing thread for me to get my thoughts out and flesh out the expanded world

Thanks, i already saw them.

From the first read i like them.

What i do not like so much, without playtesting the rules, is how you can build your members of the warband.

You will max out the weapon options to level 5 or 6, because then there is no good defense roll possible. So RC or MC of 6 will give you lots of hits with weapons where you do not need to roll a defense roll any more, because of the high strengths.

I think the extreme specialists will be much more dangerous than an average guy.

But this is only a feedback after reading the rules and two game reports.

Big plus is how many sculpts are done by Brother Vinni. I love his work.

Do you have plans for which minis you will hire him too?

This, the first figures are all really well done & Tim is excellent with returning emails & such. Plan to back this one as well!

Interesting, are these 28mm or more, have you got a sbap with old foundry?

Necros · « **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2012, 08:05:07 PM »

The figures are more like 30mm with more heroic proportions, but you can't really tell next to a 28mm. They would be a good match for Black Scorpion, but I think most of the other companies may look a little too small to fit.

It's true you can max out your skills, but in most cases like that you may have 6 dice to roll but you still need a 5 or a 6 to hit. You can also max out on professionals and hired guns and just have a few models, or use a whole lot of henchmen and either will be just as tough of a gang. Henchmen may be weak but when there's a lot of them, and your opponent has fewer models, you can easily outnumber him. There's lots of ways to build a tough gang

If you max out your combat skills on everyone, you'll find it tough to compete because you still need good quickness to run, or good strength for melee combat, good intellect to keep from running away, etc. Combat skills are important, but you still need the other stats too

New concept art for some more of the bonus figures

Here we have The Outlaw Clinton Wales (may change his pose to "Do ya feel lucky, varmint?" or "Get off my tumbleweeds"), Doc Emmitt, Father Al and Nevada Dave

Awesome, a Doc Emmett figure!

Necros · « **Reply #21 on:** November 27, 2012, 05:54:15 PM »

Yep, and his sidekick Fox McFly is under construction too

obsidian3d · « **Reply #22 on:** November 27, 2012, 07:22:08 PM »

Sold.

pinny · « **Reply #23 on:** November 27, 2012, 10:01:25 PM »

Im in for the Doc also

I want to get behind this, but so far the minis released just don't do it for me. I can't put my finger on why, and maybe it'd be a different story if I saw them in person or something. I'm all for anything pushing the Old West genre forward.

I just bumped my pledge up to Gunslinger level. I missed out last time. I won't make that mistake again!

Necros · « **Reply #26 on:** November 29, 2012, 03:31:31 AM »

Got the last of the new concept art .. here's an updated Clinton Wales along with Marshall Stewart and Fox McFly

obsidian3d · « **Reply #27 on:** November 29, 2012, 05:27:30 AM »

Is that what the McFly figure will look like? Seems a shame to sculpt a figure with his belt around his ankles...

Necros · « **Reply #28 on:** November 30, 2012, 12:18:18 AM »

Fox is meant to be more of a funny mini, he's based on Marty from Back to the Future. Not really much of the gunslinging type. I like the belt around his ankles

Maybe we can sculpt him with a separate top and bottom, so you can glue on the normal legs with the belt up high, or the funny legs. I'm not sure we'll get high enough to unlock him though :/

Just give us all Fox and the Doc as an extra bonus, because you're a good bloke
