Wild West Exodus

[tnjrp]

First time I heard of this or Outlaw Games today. It's a Weird Wild West type of thing, apparently -- Wereindians, mechanical gunslingers, gatling pistols, the works:

I could see 'em going hand-in-hand (so to speak) with some Malifaux or (if they are quite big) Dystopian Legions stuff. No idea if they are going to be scaled the same as either of those tho.

Can't say I like the designs of these. Actually I like the sketches of the mounts but my god the guns look like nerf guns!

I agree, it kind of seems like they are trying to hard

[Lowtardog]

I like the critters and the werewolf, others are a bit too space ranger in style

Hmmm... I don't know what to think. Looks like they are trying to exploit the Wild West side of Malifaux. I can't quite understand the need for wereindians - it seems like a stupid (and insulting) concept to me.
The figures are a bit too sci-fi for my taste but the building looks nice.

Reminds me a bit of the old 80s cartoon. Galaxy Rangers.

Maybe they think it has 'Twilight' crossover potential - the werewolf in that was a Native American I think, so all Native Americans are were-creatures?

And the idea of skinchangers is very much a large part of the mythology of many tribes, especially in the Southwestern US area, so it isn't really "werewolf indians" as much as it is a nod to an existing mythos, though they were usually the trickster beasts, like ravens and coyotes.

Oh, gosh, awful aren't they?  

Remember Wells and death to Steampunk.

There are many decent figs in the range. It may well yet work out

Yes, I do think that if some take it as an insult then it's at least an inadvertent one.

The NERF gun look is, OTOH, probably entirely intentional, given how many steampunk gun "kitbash" projects start out as NERF guns

Really, am I the only one who has the hardest time with the neon sign?

Actually that I thought was a nice touch. If we are going to have super duper nerf guns for the love of it at least have some non weapon/combat technology out there as well. To me it evoked kind of a noir feeling for some reason and I must say that it strangely works. Mind you on a whole this still looks terrible.

Have to agree.
