Conan [Monolith Boardgame] - KS over and funded

[FramFramson]

Yeah, some personal info would be great...maybe toss a common miniature into your pocket so you can compare.   

Good thinking, that man! Probably easier for the Admiral than fiddling about with a ruler.

I was in Essen but couldn't find the game

Hopefully some else managed to find it and take nice pictures.

[Admiral Benbow]

So, just back from the show and yes, I found the game. It was in the middle of the large Asmodee-booth and could be easily overseen, just a single table with a demo-game going on using unpainted prototype-miniatures. Here are two pics, sorry for the bad quality but it was so crowded and dimly lighted my phone's camera was overchallenged ...






But on to the good news: I talked to a very nice guy from the company and he confirmed that the miniatures will be manufactured in HARD plastic! And they are scaled with the wargames market clearly in focus, with 32 mm for a generic human. I had a standard Grenadier barbarian figure with me and compared it to a human miniature from the game - no problem at all! Couldn't get a picture as I told you about the circumstances and I didn't want to disturb the onging game too much.

The company guy told me that there will be official comparison pictures with most of the current miniature ranges soon, at least before the kickstarter will be launched. And he handed me his card, so I will contact him in some days when he will be back from the show to get some more pics from the game to be published here ...

So in my eyes the two main problems about material and size could be clarified, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming kickstarter ...

Fantastic news, I'm in again! 

[FramFramson]

Well that's certainly a relief!

Now here's hoping there will be a way to pick up particular minis without paying $150+ for the lot.

Great news, Michael.

Really looking forward to that kickstarter

Thx for the report Admiral.
So things are going the way they were announced by Monolith (and as written in the 1st post of this thread) : 32mm scale and hard plastic miniatures with the same quality of the Zombicide boardagme miniatures.

Seems like an undead warrior shows his back...

[Malebolgia]

Zombicide? That's not hard plastic...
But great report from the admiral

[Eithriall]

I've not said Zombicide has got hard plastic minis but sculpt quality should be the same...because Monolith works with the same manufacturer.

Playtest

[Malebolgia]

Ahhh, check

[Cubs]

Sounds good.

Conan video preview on BoardGameGeek !

Conan demos are running wild at the Essen fair. Very international demos, with German, French, Italian... and American players. Eric Martin from BoardGameGeek (BGG), who covers the Essen fair for the renowned website, honored Monolith with a video presentation of the game. A good opportunity to discover details about Conan: Hyborian Quests

I edit my 1st post i that way and keep in mind that's nothing's definitive.

[Doomsdave]

Nice.  I hope that's true about them being hard plastic.  That sounds promising.

I'm happy for the news. And I believe the small scale fuzz was a question of lingo mix-up

[Elbows]

Great news on the scale, and nice to see this is a real thing in the flesh (unlike many KS which exist in 3D only until a box shows up at your doorstep).
