Conan [Monolith Boardgame] - KS over and funded

[Duncan McDane]

I don't like the design of the big guy. The sculpting/casting looks pretty detailed and ok, but I' m not into the bold anabolic bouncer types. I don't remember if he's a $10 add on, but if so and he's not KS-only I'll pass on him.
The Picts, on the other hand, look marvellous  .

The description of Baal-Pteor, the strangler of Yota-Pong, is:

"This man was naked except for a loin cloth and high-strapped sandals. He was brown-skinned, with close-cropped black hair and restless black eyes that set off a broad, arrogant face. In girth and breadth he was enormous, with huge limbs on which the great muscles swelled and rippled at each slightest movement. His hands were the largest Conan had ever seen. The assurance of gigantic physical strength colored his every action and inflection."

Ole' BP is actually sculpted quite accurately as far as the original Conan canon  is concerned.

I know, I read the description as soon as they showed the pic and ( later ) the model. But I still don't like the design. A matter of taste  .

I have to admit I don't like the Baal-Pteor sculpt that much either.

About the size of minis :
King Conan (Xavier Colette box) and Saber Tooth Tiger


King Conan and Yag-Kosha

Yeah, there's a difference between a bodybuilder and a strongman. Look at the World's Strongest Man competition ... plenty of muscle on show, without having the waist and body fat of a ten year old girl.

I quite the models in general, but they're all short on clothing (the original Howard Conan actually wore clothes!) and I do think they're all over-muscled (except Conan himself) and even characters who are meant to be skinny come equipped with bulging biceps and veins all over the shop.

Hey, it's high fantasy, thongs and pectorals and all that jazz, so I understand it. Just not my taste.

Baal looks like someone has gone wild eith a bike pump on his muscles.

Size of the Dragon.....King Conan is 35 mm to the eyes :

Glad I skipped on the dragon.

[beefcake]

Yeah. I'm not really impressed by the miniature. Sculpting is great but design is lacking. I would have preferred something more Giant Lizard like mixed with a carnivorous dinosaur like Allosaurus (but on four legs)

[Eithriall]

3D printings of some miniatures. These will be used in order to make the molds for plastic injection.

While I've set myself up to exact mediocre plastic production (as with all board games), the sculpts and designs are mostly very intriguing to me.  I can't wait.

[Duncan McDane]

Amazing, the difference in quality between real sculpts and digidrawing...
Oh well, can't wait until they start producing, really like to see the Conanians in the flesh  .

I got in late with the kick starter.
I am glad I did.
If the plastic figures look close to as good as what I see,
we are in for a treat.
