With the further deferral of the International X-ray Observatory, there is a need for low cost approaches to high resolution x-ray spectroscopy. WhimEx is a mission concept that will be proposed in response to the current Explorer AO. WhimEx combines the teams and the technology that were being developed for the IXO reflection grating spectrometer. With WhimEx, astronomers will be able to probe the WHIM, AGN outflows and many other classes of x-ray sources in a manner similar to how Copernicus, FUSE and COS have in the ultraviolet.
