[Gluteus Maximus]

Interesting!

I like the look of the Stygian and Turanian in the bottom pic

Interesting. Do we know how big they are?

[Westfalia Chris]

Interesting the Third!

I particularly like that Aquilonian(?) Legionary.

My french is pretty rubbish, but from what I can make out the game will be a "Risk" sort of thing, with the figures representing your armies on a map. In that respect I can imagine them being quite small, as you would potentially need quite a few.

I like the idea of having Conan as a wandering force-of-nature type character though, very nice touch.

I can't help thinking of Groo the Wanderer 

Now, that's a mini I need for BA!! 

[JollyBob]

Didn't somebody produce Groo minis at some point? I'm sure I saw some recently, possibly a link to eBay from Frothers. Dammit, can't be more specific, sorry.     They were very cool though.

Maybe you could ask White Knight, he seems to be able to find all sorts of ancient comic related figures. 

[Argonor]

Well, I can do some googling - I do not have BA, yet, so there's no urgence (urgency?)...

Wait they made groo minis with out me knowing! LOL!
I have these comices going all the way back to issue one, I cant reimber if it was marvel or some one else that produced them at that time.
i guess its time to break into the old comic colection and see.

I think Groo originally appeared from Pacific Press. Could be someone entirely different, but there was a pre-Marvel version. I think I have some of the issues.

They'll probably be in the vicinity of 1/72 scale, going by similar games.
