Conan [Monolith Boardgame] - KS over and funded

[Elbows]

Glad to see this delayed - I may have to get in on this, even if it's just to buy some stuff for a buddy who is a huge Conan fan.

Holy crap! Adrian Smith is the concept artist? This will be a must buy for me if they can execute the sculpts according to the concept art, and it looks like they are well underway.

The sculpts shown so far are really quite superb.  It's rare that a sculpt really impresses me.  I hope the end product is as good - I'll back this KS if more sculpts of this level show up.  I really dig them.

I'd be interested in this.

[FramFramson]

Belit and Valeria have me interested already...

Needs to lose or move the skull... "strategically placed."   

Otherwise, very acceptable.   

Gracias,

Insert usual size/scale comment here.

These are official sulpt projects :

Sit down, everybody.

Bêlit is perfect, exactly the level of near nudity the character requires.  Yes, I really did say that.  She is who she is kind of thing going here.  I can actually (see in the books when she decides to take Conan as her mate and dances... I believe she is either totally nude or damn near) see a model of her dancing as described.  It is in the damn story that way and should be reflected in any sculpt of her in a marriage dance diorama.    accuracy demands it...  

Okay, back into my "perceived as a prude" status.  

Gracias,

Glenn

Khosatral Khel good, princess fair to good, monsters (well, they are monsters and I would need to re-read the books before making any comments of merit.)

Miniatures yes, game not so much.

I won't be supporting it (but you knew that) for reasons not related to the awesome build-up so far.

These look like they have tremendous diorama potential too.

Gracias,

Glenn

Sculpts are great,  designs not so much.

I think the Hyborian Age has a Bronze Age feeling,  up to early Dark Ages depending on the culture. But mixing naked barbarians with Renaissance full armours is pretty silly (we already have Warhammer for that).

I can't help but feeling Adrian Smith is digging the old Marvel comics more than staying true to Howard.

 I don't like the armour bits on Valeria, Zaporavo has stolen somehow a Spanish Conquistador armour,  and the pseudo medieval Bossonian archer does not scream Hyborian Age to me either.

I'd rather have this style of armours, rather than medieval or Renaissance ones:



Cary Nord would have been my artist of choice for the characters design.

Liking the quality so far

[Conquistador]

Didn't the Aquilonians (and Conan as king) wear plate armor?
