Conan: Rise of Monsters Mass-Combat Miniatures Game Announced By Pulposaurus Entertainment

LAS VEGAS, NV – March 24, 2015 – The Pulposaurus Entertainment design team announced today that it will produce a Conan mass-combat, pre-painted miniatures game entitled Conan: Rise of Monsters, or CROM.

“We clued game retailers into the game at the GAMA Trade Show here in Las Vegas last week,” says project developer Timothy Brown. “Store owners were universally enthusiastic about a fun, pre-painted miniatures game with armies drawn from Robert E. Howard’s Hyboria.”

Conan: Rise of Monsters is a new mass-combat miniatures game featuring exquisite 32mm plastic pre-painted figures. Each starter box presents a complete tabletop miniatures game with rules, special dice, cards and markers as well as a complete starter army for either Conan and his Circle of Iron or Thoth-
Amon and his Legion of Set. Starter army boxes will be supplemented with additional warbands, leaders, and monsters.

Pulposaurus Entertainment is a new game company created to bring Conan: Rise of Monsters to life, formed from an innovative team of industry veterans:

Jack Emmert (Cryptic Studios, Pinnacle Entertainment Group, WotC, Eden Studios)

Shane Hensley (Pinnacle, TSR, Cryptic Studios, Petroglyph)

George Vasilakos (Eden Studios, Zombie Planet)

Timothy Brown (GDW, TSR, Pinnacle Entertainment Group, Petroglyph)

“We’ve put together an exciting game worthy of the Conan stories,” adds Shane Hensley. “It’s fast and fun, and the concept art and miniatures are really terrific. It will be fun to share them with the fans.”

Pulposaurus Entertainment will run a Kickstarter campaign for Conan: Rise of Monsters in the third quarter of 2015 and release the game through retail in the first quarter of 2016.

more information will be coming out as we get closer to the launch of the kickstarter, if there is only a painted option, nothing prevents a seasoned painter from repriming the miniature and adding their own style to the world of CROM!

except repriming over paint and primer and then painting on top of that can make the miniature lose it's detail. And then if there are mold lines to get rid of first it is a mess.

they are going to be pre-painted plastics.

A there WILL be mould lines
B There will be little in the way of detail to begin with

But I have seen some fantastic paint jobs over pre-painted plastics, but I would put money (lots of money) that those same people could paint a sculpted turd and make it look good.... (e.g. pro-painters)
