From Monolith :

We've often been asked to give a picture showing a comparative scale of our models with those of other brands. So here is, from left to right: a Helldorado miniature, Ron & Bones, Monolith, Rackham, Games Workshop and finally, Monolith.

So, given that those are two of the shorter mins in the Conan range compared with some brands who are on the large side ... they're not completely incompatible by any means.

I think it's looking great and can't think of any reason I won't be up for this one.

Conan as a mercenary captain :

Just brilliant! 

[Gallahad]

Hmmm.  Not a fan at all of Conan's pretend ab muscles.  It really bothers me when sculptors screw up really easy muscle groups.

I thought that was an armour band.

All right, there's been a big update. Erwan Hascoët (Monolith and Studio Bombyx) just announced on Tric-trac that finally, there will be the same number of boards (and thus of maps) on the Deluxe box and the Retail box pledges (3 boards = 6 maps), and that the stretch goals will apply to both pledges.

So the only difference between the Deluxe and retail box seems to be the number of miniatures (and everything related to these missing miniatures).
The miniatures which will be only in the Deluxe box are: Thog (monster), N'gora and Zelata (heroes), Zelata giant wolf (ally), 15 skeletons and 15 mummies (minions) for a total of 34 miniatures. They will all be exclusive.
