Conan [Monolith Boardgame] - KS over and funded

[HvM]

Arnie would be proud of that muscle gain! Cool miniature 

[Cubs]

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

Yeah, looks like he's grown an extra set of obliques there!

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

I have to say that the size of these figures will probably stop me from buying them regardless of how cool they may be. How tall is that giant fellow anyway? Must be close to 60mm tall?

Just so I don't have to trawl through the whole 21 pages, will the minis become available to buy outside of the game?

Like this one. Very Buscema-like.

Roughly what scale are the humans?

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

There is an archer that seems to be 34mm to the eyes IIRC. Are they meant to be 1/48th scale? 1/43rd?

[The Red Graf]

So 40mm? Not very useful for me I'm afraid. Still they are beautiful and I own half of Blanche's Femme's Militant so I do have a history of buying miniatures I have no logical use for.

Thanks for the response.

I like realistic muscles on my miniatures.  I find it makes them easier to paint as the human eye "accepts" them.  A bit of the "uncanny valley" phenomenon.  The abs are truly awful on that Conan sculpt.

Yeah, looks like he's grown an extra set of obliques there!

Indeed, like a cheap action figure.

A ruthless brute...

He looks like a bit like a hunchback there.  I am not trying to be the spoil sport here, I have loved almost all of the other sculpts.  I just want a really good Conan sculpt, and so far, there look to be zero good Conan sculpts in the box.

there is a scale pic two pages back and I don't think they look anywhere near 40mm they look to be between 28 and 32

Thanks Wolfie,

I went back and looked and realized I had seen that one already. I think I am going to get kickstarter overload in 2015, there is so much great stuff coming down it's hard to keep track of everything. I agree those should fit in fine with my existing stuff.

Cheers

Bear in mind that the models used for scale were two of the smaller male models in the set. But yeah, they look to me about 30-32mm to the eyes to me, comparable with some of the big '28mm' scale ranges out there. The Conans and bigger models will of course be larger again.
