Title: Conan and Thoth Amon warbands for Open Combat
Post by: wulfgar22 on 17 March 2016, 11:39:48 AM
I recently got my Kickstarter copy of Open Combat (https://www.secondthunder.com/store/) and so, in preparation for our first game at the weekend, we've done our first warband...

Love the miniatures! Haven't head of the rules set but anything with Conan involved gets my interest :) Looking forward to more!

And here is the opposing warband...Thoth Amon, with the aid of a High Priestess of Set, has summoned the Shadow King to do battle against Conan!

Nope, those are 28mm, as the Conan miniature is the Northstar Barbarian from the Frostgrave sets

Thanks for all the kind words.

Sorry...I missed the original question. LordOdo is right...all 28mm mainly Northstar Frostgrave and Hasslefree. Red Sonja is Reaper Dark Heaven and the Shadow King is North Star Fantasy Worlds.

Great model choices and paint jobs.  Perfect!

I was also an open combat backer. I'm very happy with the book, looks a nifty system.

Great ideas and painting!

I got Open Combat lying around here for some time. Was always a bit scared to build up every model from scratch before starting to play.

How did the games go? Is it better than SoBH?

Looks great - that is going to be a nice looking game!

They look really nice, both bands. I´m also very interested in your AAR.

I'm intrigued by Open Combat, I'll have to take a look. How does it compare to Otherworld Fantasy Skirmish do you think? (and you're really obsessed with Conan, aren't you!)

I still haven't had a chance to play Otherworld yet...though I have played several games of 7th Voyage and loved it. But it isn't a quick game to play. I'm hoping Open Combat will be somewhere between Dragon Rampant and Otherworld.

(and you're really obsessed with Conan, aren't you!)

 :D Yeah...I'm a big fan of REH and Conan. I also figured statting up Conan and Thoth Amon like I did here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=83131.0) for Otherworld would give me an idea of the differences.

Once I get all the stuff from the Conan board game I may well use Open Combat for some Howard style skirmishes so will be cool to see how your battles go.
