Wappelville Lives Again!!


Something that was a huge and pleasant surprise this year at Adepticon was the discovery that Wild West Exodus remains alive, and is being rejuvenated!


For the first time in over a year, the town of Wappelville, and all the painted Wild West Exodus miniatures were out and on display!


Even with a few of the bigger beasties left behind, you can see quite the horde of figures creating chaos in the streets!


The buildings are all provided by Burn in Designs.  I have several blog posts showing how I painted those:



There's also the bank, bar and church:



Here's an article on painting the Jail:



I've done a number of Battle Reports, and more adventures will be on the way!



Powered by the deadly RJ-1027 energy, Lawmen and Outlaws duke it out at high speeds over the Badlands:



There's no shortage of fantastic minis!!



Division abounds in the West, as even the Free Nations struggle in deadly conflicts!

New Enemies, Old Heroes


While the Lawmen patrol the streets of Wappelville, something lurks in the shadows...


Strange creatures have been spotted by very nervous citizens, peeking out from behind curtains.  The Lawmen have dismissed most of these outlandish tales as fiction, but they are about to learn the hard way that the threat is real!


Right down Main street... a small horde of greyish creatures with hostile intent!


Legendary Wyatt sprung into action to counter this move, with some help from Carl Frederickson.


The great K-9 bots bared iron teeth, unafraid of these new enemies.  They set upon the spindly alien creatures...


But more continued to arrive!  An endless stream of greys, taking down one Lawman after another with gouts of green fire!


It looks like it will be up to the Hero of Wappelville to hold the line against the Aliens.


Virgil Earp also lent his firepower to the effort.  With the combined support of General Grant, Lucinda Loveless and the Union, this initial threat was dealt with.

General Grant knows, however, that this was simply the beginning...


A Rose by any other name...


The huge Union Siege Train has come into town, unloading a priceless cargo of ammunition, vehicles, and RJ-1027.  These have been a constant target of the Outlaws and the Enlightened, but concern over a new threat has grown... requiring more than token regiments of soldiers to guard it.


The Lawmen are out on patrol, with their customary K-9 and mercenary reinforcements.


They have sighted an unusual number of Dark Council, which can only mean major trouble is at hand!


This rather fetching Dark Council member seems to be whispering in the Preacher's ear...


Agent Lucinda Loveless has checked in to Le Flamant Rose, creating quite a stir.


Or has she already been in town for weeks in advance of the Siege Train?  No one is sure...


Life continues as normal.  Or at least as normal as possible for a town that has been leveled over and over again!


A shadowy figure reveals a glowing red RJ-1027 sabre.  This can only be one man... General Grant himself!  Serious trouble must be at hand.

What could this new threat be?  To bring out not only Legendary Wyatt, but the seldom seen General has the townsfolk really scared now!!  Stay tuned.

The Siege Train is in Town!


The train and all of the buildings in these images were made by Burn in Designs.  Seeing all of them together like this is a first for me, and I thought you just had to see it too!!

Look what's rolled into Wappelville!  A Union Siege Train.  Hopefully it's bringing in some new heavy and light support weapons for the Lawmen, who have been hard pressed of late by Carpathian and Jesse!


Everyone in town came out to see the impressive sight... a massive Iron Beast, bristling with weapons.


The Lawmen were leaving nothing to chance, however sunny the day, and mood of the townsfolk.


They knew all too well how badly that the enemies of order wanted to get their dirty hands on such firepower!


Legendary Wyatt himself decided that he needed to monitor the situation personally, and he brought along as many of his robotic canine friends as possible.


Passengers mixed with robotic guards at the station.  The Wooster Sisters seem to be trying to get a word in with Judge Stern...


Yes indeed, this was no ordinary train.  Buildings shuddered up and down Main Street as the Great Beast slowed to a halt near the platform.  The security grew even tighter, with Lawmen Interceptors mingling in with wagons and carts.


Guards seemed to be everywhere... on the roof of the Cantina, the tower... even in the wagons!


Wyatt sensed however, that a new enemy may attempt to strike.  One far stranger than the mad Dr. Carpathian and his abominations.  What could this mean?


The Hero of Wappelville was also called in, in case his portal jumping abilities might be needed once more.  This time, Carl Fredrickson's ties to the Union would be needed to help keep the peace between "allies", since some high ranking Union officers came with the train.

Willa Shaw, Lucinda Loveless and even General Grant are also on hand to make sure nothing happens to this train.  Will they be successful?

A Hot time at the Cantina!


It's been a while since you've seen some buildings from Burn In Designs, so I thought you might like to see the Cantina!

It's a unique multi piece structure that has all kinds of character, and lots of places for your figures to hang out!!


This front view shows the entrance and the main sign.  The swinging doors are always a nice touch!


The bottom section of the building is the same size as the jail, with lots of room on the inside.  I will do a separate post on the interior later.


Coming around the side, you can see that the back of the building has even more going on...


The flat roof design makes it a lot easier to get your figures up there for some sniper shots at hapless cowboys down on the street.


Not one, but two entrances to the back!  This area is really fun for games like Wild West Exodus, where cover and terrain and not just important, but you can perform so many actions on stairs, and in narrow passages such as the archway.


Now you can see all of the back entrance and the stairs...


The stairs are also designed to hold figures, because nobody likes to make climbing rolls!!!


One more look from the other side.


Removing the top structure shows that you don't have to use both sections.  The roof comes off the top half as well as the lower section.


Now for some minis to show the scale of the buildings.  Seems like the Wayward Eight and Chef are looking to spend a relaxing Siesta this afternoon...


I really liked the shadows cast by the awning.
