Guess what!  :D



Finally got some accus and a recharger for my old digital 2.1 Megapixel reflex camera. Hurray! So in the picture you can see the playing surface, where the magic will happen. Itīs a 5' wide two part frame which you can put differnet 48" inlays into. Itīs not actually black, but was painted using a dark brown glaze. The frame is so wide, that you can easily place cards from your favourite pirate skirmish onto it or even roll your dice using a shaker.
This specific surface inlay is a desert ground. Conan and a Turian, Turanian, whatever are inspecting the battle ground, finding itīs way to empty.

So, between painting miniatures like crazy i will start posting pictures again.

That's a clever idea. I like the stain you used...kind of a distressed look to it.
I'm looking forward to the "action" scenes. Have FUN with the project!

Brilliant stuff !  :-*

Never noticed this thread before and so nearly missed it. Great inspiration, because yesterday I rummaged out my broadsword adventures...

Looks like there is a great gaming-evening coming up !

Thanks for the compliments! :D

My neighbours gonna hate me! Using my electro drill and saw on a sunday.  o_o

For the first scenario i needed something to keep track of the time of day. After sunset they will be able to break into houses or perform other criminal activities. It is not finished yet, but i think you can see what i did here. The disc will have a sun on one side and a moon the other. When the sun is up the first numbers ( 1-7 ) are valid, when the moon is up you count the numbers 8 -14.



Not quit sure, how to paint the base plate of that thing. Any suggestions are welcome.

The group photos are especially good.  I've always enjoyed Conan-related stuff...it's a shame none of my friends are.

Looks really well made​​, I like specially the fourth from left to right, what is a Miniature? The table is also beautiful. Keep it up.

I pity all those who couldnīt make their own Conan project come true due to different reasons. Never had so much fun with a project before.

A dog guide and and Iranian Warrior


Three sages from the Morning Land ;)


A bunch of civilians will be finished this evening. Then there are about 15 Minis left. Started building the city and hopefully will have first pictures of finished buildings by wednesday evening.

Can you tell me the name in the Foundry catalogue of the Vendhyan Slavetraders? They're perfect!

@luidinuovo I canīt really remember. I think the guy with the spikey iron helmet was produced by Heartbreaker. I owned the miniature for 15-20 years now and filed of the base.

@blacksmith The Vendhyan Slavetraders are Foundryīs Baluchi Swordmen 2 ( DA5/1 ) from the Dark Africa range.

It has been pretty cloudy today so the pictures turned out a bit dark.

So hereīs some painted women as the are called*

(Bronze Age Miniatures)

Some bandits, that didnīt turn turn out that well, but considering that they have been a quick paintjob they are fine. "Voldemort" seems to be a miscast. ;)

(Perry)

and a bunch of civilians.

(Foundry and Warlord Games)

There are still 3 civilians, roman slave girls like the one with the red dress, to be finished and then itīs Zulu time.

*if itīs against forum policies i can remove or modify the picture.

Not quite sure how I missed this thread.

Wow! I really like the wor you've done so far. I love the collection of miniatures, they all seem to fit. And I love the sun dial. I had similar plans for a werewolf game that I ran last year but it never got finished.


Can't wait to see you next post.

Cheers
Andy
