Interesting!

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

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  :D

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.

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.
