Conan [Monolith Boardgame] - KS over and funded

[THE CID]

Pity, but count me out. Figures look great, but PLASTIC  .   THE CID

[Varangian]

I'm grateful they're in plastic. I vastly prefer it to metal, so I'm even more excited than before.

Being an owner of everything Zombicide I'm completely comfortable with this being in the same material and at the same quality.

With that said... Is there any chance you might do some collector's editions of the principle models in resin? That would be amazing I think.

[axabrax]

It's a mainstream board game. The notion that they would do the figures in metal is far-fetched at best. I would say you probably don't have much right to be disappointed. 

[FramFramson]

Plastic doesn't bug me if the detail is high-fidelity, but the figures only being available in one big boxed game set... does.

I don't think I'm going to be able to get in on this without some sort of option to purchase individual or pack figures.

[THE CID]

Metal would be ideal for collectors, plastic for the gamers. This would sort everybody out. THE CID. 

[Elbows]

I would have vastly preferred metal or (gasp) even resin, since the sculpts look so potentially fantastic.  I do think the end result will be a bit less impressive with board game level miniatures.  That will mean more affordable and easier to buy though.

That diminishes my enthusiasm a bit, but I'd likely still get in on it.

I don't think that is the "by default" case anymore. Board Game plastic figures done well can be every bit as good as metal castings, just seems to depend on the composition of the material and the ability of the casters.

For example Marrow Production have released images of the production plastic figures included in their Journey game and they are stunning:

Remember with marrow productions though that the scale of their minis is larger than 28mm minis, more like 40mm.

This is so exciting.  I really want these to be made of good plastic.  I hate bendy weapons and arms so much.  The figures look great and it would be disappointing if they were of bad material.

I don't mind these being in plastic, as long as the plastic holds the detail of the sculpts we've seen so far.  Hopefully it won't be the crappy restic stuff so many manufacturers are going to these days.  I'd almost rather have the old Heroquest plastic than restic. 

[Pijlie]

Don't mind plastic! Bring'em on!

[Too Bo Coo]

Honestly, the Zombicide stuff was awful to clean up, but once that bit was done, they painted up beautifully. I never had any problems with ghosting or shining or anything else.  My suggestion would be to use a 'dip' as it coats them and gives them some added strength.  I also agree, use a gloss coat as the first clearcoat, and then use a matter spray as you please.  The matt will have to be reapplied once in a great while, or maybe every couple of years if you use your minis very often.  But this stuff does last a long time.

I edit my first message in that way.

[Centaur_Seducer]

Oh, that sculptor list makes me drool

The whole plastic debate is a bit silly. It's a french company, so there's a guarantee that the product will be awesome. And the rules a horrible mess

If it's French it also means it'll only be on sale for a year before disappearing, so the KS is a must.
