So this is Conan in a different setting? Maps etc. look similar. I am anxiously awaiting Conan.No, this is not the same game.
Who's the bareheaded soldier behind Ares in the demo picture?It seems only to be a proxy...Not a mini created for the game (but I'm not 100% sure).
Sorry my mistake I meant a year and a half since the end of KS and if delivered in June, if, then thats 8 months behind. Just stating my opinion dude and I do hope that they have learnt the lesson of Conan as the figures are amazing
Yes this KS is very tempting indeed, but I am still waiting for THREE KS to arrive. So I will probably I will do it the old school way and buy it in a shop!
Hooo, the game designer himself !!! Welcome to LAF, this post is yours. :D
This looks amazing! Out of interest, are you likely to sell the minis separately? The hydra is by far the nicest I've seen - though it all looks great, that one has particularly caught my eye.
Are the figures metal or plastic. Being a plastic hater, please be metal.
Any close ups on those groups?
The all-in on this one will be a killer too. o_o
... apart from Heracles, he facially at least is looking way to D*sn*y cartoon...
Well, if the replayability is half as much as Blood Rage and Zombicide Black Plague I'm a very happy backer.
Dang, those look fine. I really like the design on the hydra. Absolutely superb.+1
And Odysseus has always been a favourite literary hero of mine.
Remember remember, the 1st of November :D.
What time does it start?
The models will all be made in a mid-grey plastic. The pale grey/white in Conan doesn't work as well in reality as had been hoped.
I also backed it. I just fell in love, and had to paint the teaser spartan from the Conan KS

Where are you based? It says $25-35 to most of Europe.
With 1 God, 1 Hero, 2 Monsters, 3 units of troops (15 models) and some scenery more than the core box already (and counting) I can't see you doing anything but winning on the financial end. They've got to be worth more than the postage :)
But like I said, your decision. I'm working with the MB team, so I'm bound to say that ;)
All the extra stuff is going to come in a second package called Pandora's Box (and I didn't make that up). :D
Amazing, that Atlas guy. Stephane Simon is easily my favourite sculptor on the Conan & MB projects...
A pity he didn't do Prometheus but Hephaistos makes my day again...
@Elbows: I really think you're going to regret not backing this. MB offers so many "larger" models at such an affordable price, and as you've seen with Conan, the quality and detail of the larger ones is great and the should be fun and easy to paint to a wargaming standard ++.
I'm saving up already for the 299/399 add-on pledges, depending on what those last two black boxes will become I'll take the 299$ add-on + the artbook or the 399$ ( and maybe a second Titan set, just because they rock big time ). Guess the Pledge Manager will take them at least 2 to 3 months, so we'll have time enough to scrape all those pennies from the kitchen drawers and sofa cussions :D.
Maybe you can sell the Art book and the RPG book to get $60 back or something.
Yes, and the Python is very usable for all kinds of fantasy games, e.g. Conan, Warhammer etc.
And it seems they will go with Nordic Mythology for their next kickstarter....possilbly a very wise choice from the monetary p.o.v.
A pledge of 99 dollars means you are undercutting manufacturers back home and in Europe?
Sorry if this offends you.
Predatory pricing (also undercutting) is a risky, and dubious pricing strategy where a product or service is set at a very low price, intending to drive competitors out of the market, or create barriers to entry for potential new competitors. Theoretically if competitors or potential competitors cannot sustain equal or lower prices without losing money, they go out of business or choose not to enter the business. The so called predatory merchant then theoretically has fewer competitors or is even a de facto monopoly.
Nowadays predatory pricing is considered anti-competitive in many jurisdictions and is illegal under competition laws. However, it can be difficult to prove that prices dropped because of deliberate predatory pricing rather than legitimate price competition. In any case, competitors may be driven out of the market before the case is ever heard.
Played the game several times - great fun. The minis are gorgeous.
Is it worth £200? Who knows - I very much suspect it will be worth £100 once the hype has died down (look at second hand sales of Conan - they are flat)
I've played a couple of games yesterday, the game is really fun.
And that's a big load of boxes !
My typhon bundle :
I pity whoever had to haul all that in... :D
It was me, since I had to go to the post office to get it.
But what saved my arms and my back is that it was sent in two parcels, a few days apart.
Still, I had a hard time each time to bring them to my place ;)
So Spartans w cartoon armor and Minotaurs/Centaurs/Gods are Historical, but dinos and cavemen are Pulp?
They are part of or based on ancient history/mythology. Dinosaurs are not.
Got my core box and Trojan war add on today. Waiting on all the extras now. Anyone have a link to contact for problems. Old PC died right before Christmas with my links. Got a laptop for Christmas and trying to reestablish all the bookmarks. Minis are awesome. Thanks.
