I keep seeing people who state that "the project has slowed down!" but then I look at the kicktraq daily figures which shows it has remained at a steady ~$50-$70k a day since the initial opening day peak.
Where are people getting the impression the funding is slowing down?
look at kicktraqs daily figures then number of backers per day. its not all about the dollars. its not a significant drop, just settling into the mid kickstarter dulldrums.

It says now more tentacles, and beware the jaws of the beast. Maybe we'll see some squid head or something soon to make having 10 of these important.

A mid-campaign lull is normal for any campaign. Things will trickle along at $50k/day until the last week, and we should see things pick up again. With $1M already raised, Conan is in a very strong position. They could conclude the campaign today, and they will have done exceptionally well by pretty much any measure.
In essence "we botched the stretch goal talking about a kraken head. This stretch is just for 5 more tentacles for a total of ten. Don't worry the kraken head will be popping up in the future "
so we're breaking up a goal into three goals as someone suggested to do with the equipment booster. Instead of an add on with a kraken head and 10 tentacles we give you 5, 5 and a kraken head.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in and satisfied with what in getting for my money right now, everything since day two or three has been gravy. I just don't like the games that get played with my games if you know what I mean.

And you what's really hilarious? Monolith could have simply increased the step to the next few SGs to cover the mistake. Nobody would have noticed - they would just have whined about how SGs were getting farther apart faster than the expected.
I'm just finding some of the nerdrage on the comments section pretty funny. They fethed up, big deal, it happens. Some folks are talking like they got personally violated though...
Anyway, I figure at least 1 person ragequit as I managed to nab an EB
Well new add on option is available. Two female figures by Paolo Parente:Valeria and Salome. How'd you guess they'd be oversexuallized female miniatures, I mean yeah it's Conan and he doesn't do ugly chicks , but now you add Paolo to the mix and you have women that make supermodels look like bag ladies.
$20 for this add on, so at this point if you are a completist that means your at the king level $135.00 plus $180.00 for all the add ons. So your right there with me right now, though I still might drop the expansion book, and I'm not sure I need 6 more dice (already getting 21) so I could drop $65 off of that total easy.
I'll add the pic shortly.

"Unimaginably ancient xenos artefact somewhere on the planet, hive fleet poised above our heads, hidden 'stealer broods making an early start....and now a bloody Chaos cult crawling out of the woodwork just in case we were bored. Welcome to my world, Ciaphas."
Inquisitor Amberley Vail, Ordo Xenos
"I will admit that some Primachs like Russ or Horus could have a chance against an unarmed 12 year old novice but, a full Battle Sister??!! One to one? In close combat? Perhaps three Primarchs fighting together... but just one Primarch?" da001
Looking at the artwork, the girls are less naked than I might have expected. Building off the 70s artwork, they could have been sculpted totally naked with optional coverings. Or not.
Is it wrong to be worried they only show one of the two sculpts though?

Think it really captures the 'Conan' feel and the whole 70's Frank Frazetta art style. Does anyone know who the artist is?
Paola Parente is the artist and sculptor. He was also an artist for Conan for three issues of marvel comics Conan. He is a big fan of Robert E Howard's work and also the driving force/creator of Dust tactics, Dust Rpg, and dust warfare. He also has done work on magic: the gathering and elsewhere. I think he had a zombicide artist figure as well.
Edit: many think he has the best accent in the gaming community. Here's the YouTube video that was in the update.

Actually that is incorrect . Paolo Parente is the artist, not the sculptor on these. The 2nd sculpt will be shown in the next day or so.

OT: Sounds like some of you are looking for dungeon dressings. Stonemaier Games will have a KS for its prepainted realistic tokens for Eurogames. Many of these tokens can be used in RPGs and games like Conan or Zombicide. Not all of them are 28mm scale, though. Not that Conan wouldn't mind that huge hunk of steak.

For barrels and boxes, I personally prefer Hirst Arts molds. The molds are relatively inexpensive and are very easy to cast, especially if you are doing barrels. The great thing about barrels is that you can cast sort of sloppily as a smattering of air bubbles tends to make a barrel look rotten or worm-eaten.
And then you can make nice piles of refuse without worrying about what you are paying per barrel. Dental plaster is nice and weighty, so a few dental plaster crates/barrels will help to weigh down a terrain piece, as opposed to resin or plastic.

Kirasu: Have we fallen so far that we are excited that GW is giving us the opportunity to spend 58$ for JUST the rules? Surprised it's not "Dataslate: Assault Phase"
AlexHolker: "The power loader is a forklift. The public doesn't complain about a forklift not having frontal armour protecting the crew compartment because the only enemy it is designed to face is the OHSA violation."
AlexHolker: "Allow me to put it this way: Paramount is Skynet, reboots are termination attempts, and your childhood is John Connor."
I've got a smattering of Hirst Arts barrels and other terrain scatter pieces, but these types of games aren't complete for me until they have their own boxes and barrels. Actually now that I think of it, I've got a fair amount of terrain rabble to toss about as it is.
Which is neither here nor there.
I'm very strange about board game pieces migrating from one box to another, so having Conan have his own barrels to throw at Picts while he punches camels makes things more complete in my own distorted logic.
I am also looking forward to the inevitable Conan vs Conan vs Conan scenarios that will assuredly crop up due to the most recent stretch goal.
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

I expect that it is some kind of chipboard, but quality is highly variable when it comes to chipboard, so knowing the finishing/manufacturer is a better guide to knowing how the boards will come out as you can go to a finished product by the manufacturer with the same specs and actually handle the board.

The Bone Golem also comes with a code to unlock one as a pet (!) in the Conan MMO. They also added content to the Khitai expansion (Hero, double-sided board, 2 scenarios) to make the price more attractive, and revealed anther add-on (5 Black Dragon allies).
Great day!
Of course there's been complaining from the usual suspects about how the Bone Golem is not canon and that Khitai is still too expensive. Can't please everyone...
