modeled after the character it is representing. Any converted
model must contain more than half (51%) of the Original

Painting / Basing 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.
When basing models, anything that physically 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. Overhanging base additions are allowed as long as
the original base diameter can be physically accessed the full
360 degrees of the base. Terrain elements on the base are
not considered part of the model when determining Line
of Sight. Any non-official Wild West Exodus base must be
equivalent in size to the official bases.

Strength of Schedule of each player is determined as follows:
Strength of Schedule is the combined total of all of a player’s
opponents final Player Strengths, with the lowest final Player
Strength subtracted from the total.
At the beginning of the round, both players may view their
opponent’s Ledgers. Players secretly determine which of
their Reinforcement Ledgers they will use in secret, and then
reveal (using a card or token) their Reinforcement Ledger
simultaneously. After final list composition is determined,

second player deploys, he will stop his Master Clock and the
first player may complete any redeployment actions, stop
his Master Clock, and then the second player will complete
redeployment actions. After the second player completes
his deployment phase, 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 and complete turns on their respective Master
Clocks until a player runs out of time on his/her Master
Clock. When a player runs out of the time on his/her Master
Clock, their opponent may use their remaining time as
normal to activate models, attack /kill enemy models,and
complete / score objectives.
or Contesting. A model may not contest multiple zones
simultaneously.
Game End Conditions
Unless specifically stated by a scenario, a game ends when:
A)
One posse has been completely killed / removed
from the game.
or
B)
One posse has scored Max Primary Scenario Points
and the opposing posse has no living Boss / Underboss
models.
or
C)
One posse has scored Maximum Conquest Points
(21).
or
D)
Neither posse has remaining time on a Master
Clock.
As soon as the game reaches any of these states of play, the
game is complete and all Conquest Points are tallied up to
determine the winner.
Terrain
Wild West Exodus is a very cinematic and dynamic game
meant to be played on tables full of exciting, interactive,
terrain-filled game boards. Terrain should be well distributed
across the table, provided adequate cover and fire lanes
TOs should plan to include additional time between rounds for a balanced and enjoyable game experience for all
for resolution of previous rounds, as well as time to set
play styles. It is recommended to have 4-5 large pieces of
up the next round’s scenarios. Master Clock Times and
terrain (including buildings and area terrain), roughly

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
