Conan [Monolith Boardgame] - KS over and funded

[Braxandur]

I see this as a way of playing miniature games with my board gaming friends who I normally can't seem to interest into playing miniature games. And even if it get's played only once or twice, it's fine with me as I've been with a group that decided a few years ago that we rather spend $50-100 on a (board) game that is played once, then go out for an evening drinking, which with 4 or 5 people which easily costs just as much or more and not always more fun. If we play a game more then once, it is even a better value ffor us. if not, well, luckily the missus is kind enough to let me have a hobbyroom with plenty of space. At least that is untill the kickstarters start arriving

Hahaha, as if you're in NEED of more board games Brax . How many do you own by now, around 500?

Actually it's a pity the models aren't coloured plastic - I'd fell a lot less guilty about never getting round to painting them if they were traditional board-game colours 

[Miantanomo]

I just squealed in delight like a little girl. I cannot wait for this.

The quality of minis in this is simply mind-boggling!!! I really wish I had the time to paint and game with them, as if I did, I'd be in like a shot!

There's absolutely the very real risk that this'll join the other big boxed games in the loft that I've never played.

But I must have the precious! 

That's me as well. Reading the rulebook is something I don't have time for, so it sits there and sits there.

Crom !!! Just have a look to the 1550k SG :

I really wonder how well the plastics will show off the detail.

I love the sculpts (actually it's the number one reason I like this project) but the quality of the plastic concerns me.

That's a valid concern, I've backed several KS and some have had terrible plastics, some have done the old bait-and-switch on material, etc.

The primary thing holding me back on this project is negative Kickstarter experiences.

500 sounds about right according to my BGG profile, but there is almost always room for a game more...
Especially if they look really nice.

9.000 backers, more than 1.500.000 $....and 10 days to go.

Some words from Fred Henry =>Molds are made by Paolo Parente's Dust Studio and the manufacturing of the miniatures is made by Ludofact Asia with the same plastic than the Dust Tactics game.

For those unfamiliar with the dust plastics, they're very bendy and can sometimes be soft on detail, but do take paint well.

Thanks for that info.  I was just about to back this.  You talked me off the cliff and spared me regrets.  Cheers.
