This Looks awesome !
After reading your post I have to check my box closely !

@ Admiral Benbow I was not so happy to read your first comment, as particularly 1) supports the infos I already have about the minis.

Your second comment is very welcome and helpful :-)

Thanks for both,

cheers Thomas

Would any one be interested in similar storage inserts for their Conan pledges if Sally 4th made some from 3mm MDF?

There seems to be a pretty strong market for box inserts - the only issue with some of the big KS style stuff is that I find it's too much to even fit in the box without an insert.  For the more board-game types I tend to just pile them into the boxes.

2. My stretch goal box contained three counter frames, two in english and one in french. And when browsing through the scenario booklet, I realized that there were no counters for villagers.

Got an answer from Monolith about this question:

"All of this is normal
The Stretch Goals box is in both french and English. It was easier to get it done this way.
The tokens you need to use for the villagers are the back sides of the numbered tokens (from 1 to 13) from your core box (Barbarian or King)"

Alright then, that was fast service at least, thank you Monolith.

With regard to villagers, at Spiel the guys from monolith said that theey hoped to bring have civlians in the next kickstarter. not sure if it would be a strech goal or an add-on.

@Admiral Benbow: looking good there!

I've just painted my first three miniatures from Conan board game.
I'm pretty pleased with how they have turned out.
I've mounted them on some of the 25mm Clear Acrylic bases that we make at Sally 4th, just because I don't like the big, black clunky bases obscuring the lovely art-work on game boards.



I've added more photos of individual models to gallery at: http://wargamesbuildings.co.uk/Clear-Terra-Bases/Clear-Basing-Gallery

Now it is nearly here I have lots my interest in the game, now I couldnt care if it turns up, tomorrow, next week, next month. Sad state of affairs really.

So, put it on eBay and recoup 200% of your investment.  It's really easy to flip a KS bundle for almost anything.

Yup. I really want the game still, but if the minis and rulebook aren't pleasing to my eye when I've had a good chance to examine them, then I'll sell it on. Copies on presale on Ebay are already fetching double what I paid. I think it's win-win: I'll either have an awesome game, or an easy profit.

[Elbows]

Agreed.  That's one of the reasons I'm not super "oh no!" about investing in Kickstarters, particularly if I trust the product will actually get made and delivered.  You can almost always sell it on for 100-250% of what you put in, if you don't like it.  And that's without ripping someone off.

Until people run across these kind of threads that are open and honest about the product.

Zombicide was decent so it is expensive to try and pick up exclusives now. Sedition Wars is the opposite, a short while ago the base version was less than £15 inc shipping on Amazon.

I also think that eventually, the up-selling will happen less. There are more and more KS's and there are more and more that are not producing the product to the standard people expected.

Wow that is a very nice website and interest has be kindled a bit thanks to it

I doubt it.  Unless a product is complete crap it'll still sell at the cost or above when received - particularly for exclusives.  Look at something like Blood Rage which was a pretty mediocre game. I paid $80, sold it for $100 to a friend and saw loads on ebay for $240-300...mainly because it included a handful of exclusive monsters etc.  I paid $150 for a $100 set of BSieged (freakin' brilliant game) on eBay --- after playing my buddy's I had to have it, and the KS package had a lot of fantastic bonus bits/bobs.

Zombicide Black Plague was also brilliant and was probably fetching a pretty penny on eBay for all of the freebies/extra content etc.  There are a lot of great Kickstarter things out there demanding a premium.
