Getting ready to play some Conan skirmish gaming.

In May I'll be running a couple of convention games using the Conan board game rules. I've started putting together figures and terrain.

First up some Vanir Raiders. These guys will serve as minions for the Overlord.

These started out as Red Box Helsvakt Warriors. I did some de-spiking and swapped out the heads for some Gripping Beast plastic heads.

A few of the Heroes.

Conan, from a Hasslefree mini.

Red Sonja, another, slightly modified Hasslefree

Red, a Red Box mini

This will probably end up as a Valeria type character. Another Hasslefree mini.

Conall, a young Cimmerian.

The Elder Cimmerian. Most likely a Shaman or Hedge Wizard.

We'll be playing our first test run of the rules on a game table later this week. I hope to have some pictures and a report of our progress.

Thanks

These are fantastic. I like in particular the de-spiked and head-swapped barbarians.

All are very nice, but I particularly like the Valeria and the Cimmerian elder minis - bags of character.

Great work! Soooo much better w/ proper sized heads!

Amazing painting, these have the right Hyborian vibe. Only thing is your Vanir look more like Aesir to me, too many blonds and too few redheads.

With a GOOD LOOKING Group like your Barbarians your game is already a visual success...brushwork & bases are OUTSTANDING. GREAT WORK!

Great Work so far

Especially like the Vanir-conversions.
Have seen one similar done in an other thread and am tempted to build me some my self

Thanks guys.

I'll be using the preview set of rules for the Conan boardgame from Monolith. Conversion to miniatures is a simple matter. The only real change is converting zone movement to inches movement.

While I think that their necks could stand to be a tad bit longer, the Red Box Helsvakt conversions look pretty good. Well done.

Out of curiosity, who makes the heads you used?

Stop this at once!

It makes it really hard for me to not drop what I am supposed to be doing and start on my own Barbarian Warband/army.
