It$is$the$Tournament$Organizer’s$responsibility$to$clarify$all$rules$and$guidelines$for$
the$tournament.$Rulings$may$include$the$use$of$any$Official$FAQ$or$Errata$
documents,$painting$requirements,$model$conversion,$and$use$of$preKrelease$
models.$
$

Every$player$participating$in$a$Wild$West$Exodus$Gunslinger$Tournament$must$
bring$his/her$models,$associated$upKtoKdate$Stat$Cards,$dice,$measuring$device$(s),$
templates$and$tokens$to$mark$status$effects$and$activations.$All$tokens$for$status$

model.$Activations,$special$rules,$Lifeblood$loss$and$all$modelKassociated$effects$
must$be$available$to$be$viewed$by$both$the$controlling$player$and$the$opponent$at$
all$times.$Wild$West$Exodus$is$a$game$of$open$information;$no$model$rules$or$effects$
should$be$hidden$from$one’s$opponent.$Failure$to$keep$adequate$track$of$model$
status$may$result$in$a$default$judgment$from$a$Tournament$Organizer.$
$
Wild$West$Exodus$is$expected$to$be$a$game$of$fun,$strategy,$wit$and$luck.$Players$are$
expected$to$behave$in$a$respectful,$civil$and$responsible$manner$at$all$times.$Games$
should$be$played$in$a$deliberate$and$consistent$manner.$Activations$must$be$done$in$

or$tournament$disqualification.$There$is$no$tolerance$for$cheating$or$
misrepresentation,$and$if$a$Tournament$Organizer$recognizes$a$player$is$cheating,$it$
is$grounds$for$immediate$disqualification.$Don’t$be$that$player.$
$
Permitted*Models*
All$models$used$in$Outlaw$Miniatures$Wild$West$Exodus$organized$play$must$be$
Outlaw$Miniatures$models$from$the$Wild$West$Exodus$range.$These$models$must$be$
fully$assembled$and$placed$onto$the$appropriate$sized$base$for$the$model$design.$
Alternate$posed$versions$of$models$will$be$allowed$in$tournament$play,$but$multiple$
of$the$sameKnamed$Unique$model$will$not$be$allowed.$
Any$nonKWild$West$Exodus,$inappropriately$based$or$unassembled$models$will$not$
be$permitted$in$tournament$play.$
$
PreKrelease$models$are$not$allowed$in$tournament$play$unless$they$are$readily$
available$at$the$convention$or$event$that$the$tournament$is$occurring.$$
*
Converting*
Models$may$be$converted$and$based$dynamically,$but$must$be$easily$recognizable$as$
the$model$that$it$is$to$be$used$as$in$the$game.$All$model$conversions$must$include$all$
weapons$as$the$representative$model’s$rules.$Models$must$be$clearly$modeled$after$
the$character$it$is$representing.$Any$converted$model$must$contain$more$than$half$
of$the$Original$Outlaw$Miniatures$Wild$West$Exodus$figure.$Tournament$Organizers$
have$the$final$judgment$on$whether$a$model$is$allowed$or$disallowed$based$upon$
the$ability$to$recognize$the$converted$character.$No$conversion$can$be$made$to$a$
model$to$reduce$the$height$of$a$model$from$the$respective$Outlaw$Miniatures$
release.$
$
When$basing$models,$anything$that$obscures$or$increases$the$outer$diameter$of$the$
base$is$not$allowed$for$tournament$play.$All$bases$shall$have$a$clearly$visible$outer$
diameter$that$matches$the$proper$base$size$for$each$model.$
$
Painting*Requirements*
Some$tournament$settings$may$require$a$posse$to$be$‘fully$painted’$or$‘based’.$A$
‘fully$painted’$model$does$not$have$any$bare$resin$or$plastic$sections$and$each$part$
of$the$model$is$painted$in$a$differentiated$color$pattern$representative$of$the$
model’s$characteristics.$$A$‘based’$model$has$a$fully$painted$or$textured$(using$sand,$
flock,$or$similar$substrate)$upper$base$section$and$a$cleanly$finished$outer$base$rim.$
Requirements$for$painting$and$basing$are$meant$to$improve$the$aesthetics$of$the$
game$and$create$a$cinematic$game$vision.$
$
Army*Lists*
For$all$Wild$West$Exodus$Gunslinger$tournaments,$a$player$must$supply$2$
completed$copies$of$their$army$list$to$be$given$to$the$Tournament$Organizer$before$

Certain$tournament$styles$may$further$limit$model$selection$for$a$list:$those$will$be$
stated$in$the$rule$set$for$that$specific$type$of$tournament.$
$
Standard$Tournament$List$Construction$will$consist$of$a$Main$Ledger$that$must$
include$the$Posse’s$boss$model,$and$2$Reinforcement$Ledgers$that$will$be$written$on$

The$Main$Ledger$is$the$primary$army$list$for$the$posse$that$is$built$to$remain$
unchanged$through$every$round$of$the$tournament.$This$list$represents$roughly$
three$quarters$or$more$of$the$overall$list$Dollar$cost,$and$must$contain$the$posse’s$
Boss$model.$
$
Reinforcement*Ledgers:*
The$Reinforcement$Ledgers$are$secondary$army$lists$that$allow$flexibility$in$list$
composition$for$each$round.$These$lists$represent$roughly$one$third$of$the$overall$
dollar$cost$of$the$Army$List$and$are$created$to$be$additions$to$the$Main$Ledger.$A$

$
Terrain*
Wild$West$Exodus$is$a$very$cinematic$and$dynamic$game$meant$to$be$played$on$
tables$full$of$exciting,$interactive,$terrainKfilled$game$boards.$Terrain$should$be$well$
distributed$across$the$table,$provided$adequate$cover$and$fire$lanes$for$a$balanced$
and$enjoyable$game$experience$for$all$play$styles.$It$is$recommended$to$have$4K5$
large$pieces$of$terrain$(including$buildings$and$area$terrain),$roughly$6”Wx6”Lx6”H$
as$well$as$6K10$smaller$pieces$of$terrain$including$crates,$barricades,$fences,$etc.$that$
allow$for$a$deeply$tactical$game$experience.$No$piece$of$terrain$should$be$
significantly$larger$or$smaller$than$the$rest$or$bunched$too$close$together$to$greatly$
restrict$movement.$Terrain$should$not$be$placed$completely$within$either$
deployment$zone,$nor$should$any$objective$should$be$placed$on,$in$or$within$3”$of$
any$Impassible$Ground.$The$TO$is$responsible$for$all$terrain$placement,$and$any$
issue$of$Terrain$or$Objective$placement$should$be$brought$up$with$the$TO.$
$
Number*of*Rounds*
The$number$of$rounds$in$a$tournament$is$dependent$of$the$amount$of$attendees$to$
the$tournament.$The$number$of$expected$rounds$is:$
Up$to$16$Attendees:$4$Rounds$
16K40$Attendees:$5$Rounds$
40+$Attendees:$6$Rounds$
Tournament$Organizers$may$also$create$a$tournament$with$a$fixed$number$of$
rounds.$
$
Round*Timing*and*Structure*
Each$player$will$have$a$Master$Clock$with$a$predetermined$amount$of$time$(that$
they$will$use$for$all$models’$activations)$based$upon$the$event$size.$All$model$actions$
must$be$completed$on$a$clock,$including$deployment,$activations,$and$the$resolution$
of$all$damage$and$armor$rolls$made$from$that$player’s$models.$
$
After$final$list$composition$is$determined,$the$player$with$the$larger$posse$will$begin$
his/her$Master$Clock$and$begin$deploying.$As$deployment$is$completed,$the$first$
player$will$stop$his$Master$Clock$and$it$will$switch$to$second$player’s$turn$to$deploy.$
After$the$second$player$deploys,$the$first$player$may$complete$any$redeployment$
actions$followed$by$the$second$player’s$redeployments.$After$all$deployment$phases$
are$completed$(included$Special$Rules$allowing$redeployment),$the$second$player$
stops$his$Master$Clock$and$the$first$player$begins$his/her$turn$by$activating$models.$
The$first$and$second$player$alternate$activations$on$their$respective$Master$Clocks$
until$all$models$have$been$activated$and$the$turn$ends.$All$models$must$activate$on$
all$turns$of$a$game$unless$removed$from$the$game,$destroyed,$or$the$model$has$a$
Lifeblood$statistic$and$is$currently$at$0$Lifeblood.$

$
The$Initiative$Phase$is$the$only$player$action$that$is$not$completed$on$the$clock.$Both$
players’$clocks$are$paused$during$the$Initiative$Phase$until$it$is$completed.$Players$
should$complete$the$Initiative$Phase$quickly$and$efficiently$(any$concerns$about$
stalling$during$this$time$should$be$brought$to$a$TO’s$attention).$Once$the$player$who$
has$won$the$Initiative$is$decided,$that$player’s$clock$is$started$and$he/she$begins$
activating$models.$$Players$continue$to$alternate$activations$on$their$respective$
Master$Clocks$until$the$game$is$completed$by$Annihilation,$Scenario$or$a$player$runs$
out$of$time$on$his/her$Master$Clock.$

Scoring*
All$scenarios$in$the$Gunslinger$Tournament$format$can$be$won$in$one$of$two$ways:$
Annihilation$and$Scenario.$Annihilation$victories$are$won$when$a$player$destroys$or$
otherwise$removes$all$enemy$models$from$the$table.$Scenario$victories$are$won$
when$a$player$meets$all$requirements$of$the$scenario$as$described$on$each$scenario$
sheet.$If$a$player$runs$out$of$time$on$their$Master$Clock,$they$count$as$losing$the$
Scenario.$The$player$with$time$remaining$in$that$situation$is$granted$all$Scenario$
Points$possible$and$wins$the$match.$
$
A$player$who$wins$a$match$will$earn$2$Tournament$Points,$a$player$who$draws$a$
match$will$earn$1$Tournament$Point,$and$a$player$who$loses$will$earn$0$Tournament$
Points.$At$the$end$of$the$tournament,$the$player$with$the$most$Tournament$Points$
will$be$declared$the$winner.$
$
If$two$players$have$the$same$amount$of$Tournament$Points$at$the$end$of$the$
tournament,$the$tie$will$be$broken$via$Tiebreakers:$
First*Tiebreaker$will$resolve$to$Strength$of$Schedule.$Strength$of$Schedule$is$
calculated$by$adding$all$up$the$Tournament$Points$that$player’s$opponents$scored$
throughout$the$tournament.$
Second*Tiebreaker$will$resolve$to$Dollars$of$Destruction.$Dollars$of$Destruction$is$
calculated$by$adding$up$all$of$the$dollars$of$models$that$player$killed$or$otherwise$
removed$from$the$table$during$all$of$their$games$in$the$tournament.$Any$time$a$
model$is$reduced$to$0$Lifeblood,$the$opposing$player$receives$the$full$Dollar$amount$
for$destroying$that$model.$This$includes$abilities$such$as$Animation$and$9$Lives.$

Each$time$that$model$is$brought$to$0$Lifeblood,$the$opposing$player$receives$the$full$
Dollar$cost$of$that$model.$
Third*Tiebreaker*will$resolve$to$Scenario$Points.$Scenario$Points$will$be$granted$
depending$on$the$completion$of$certain$specific$tasks$as$related$to$the$Scenario$
given$at$the$beginning$of$the$round.$
$
All$Players$are$expected$to$play$every$round$of$a$tournament.$If$there$are$an$odd$
number$of$players,$a$player$each$round$may$be$required$to$take$a$Bye.$A$Bye$round$
counts$as$a$Draw$for$Tournament$Points$(1$Tournament$Point)$and$receives$an$
amount$of$50%$of$the$total$List$amount$for$Dollars$of$Destruction$(ex:$$750$in$a$
Brawl).$
If$any$player$must$drop,$the$remaining$rounds$on$their$schedule$are$all$scored$as$
Losses$(0$Tournament$Points)$and$receive$0$Dollars$of$Destruction.$
$
Scenario*Scoring*
Every$scenario$in$a$Gunslinger$Tournament$will$include$the$method$of$scoring$to$
gain$Scenario$Points$to$win$that$match.$Methods$include$remaining$within$a$specific$
area$of$the$board$for$a$set$amount$of$time,$the$collection$or$capturing$of$an$objective,$
the$removal/destruction$of$a$key$model,$the$saving$of$a$Civilian,$or$the$complete$
destruction$of$the$opposing$force.$$
$
To$hold$an$Objective,$a$model$must$be$within$3”$of$the$Objective$and$no$enemy$
model$may$be$within$3”$of$the$Objective.$
To$hold$a$Contested$Area,$a$model$must$be$within$the$zone$and$no$enemy$model$
may$be$within$the$Contested$Area.$
$
In$all$cases,$to$be$able$to$hold$an$Objective$or$a$Contested$Area$in$a$Scenario,$a$
model$must$have$a$Lifeblood$statistic$and$remain$above$0$Lifeblood.$$Summoned$
models$and$models$that$are$worth$0$Dollars$may$not$be$used$for$Scoring.$
