2,954K and rising. But who's counting five hours left to the end.....oh and wolves


Starting to think this could reach reaper bones II at 3,1million

im not normally checking stuff like this that much, just home sick right now with a flu bug, so watching this, The walking dead, and puking are the top three attractions of the day

It has a good shot at beating Bones to get the top spot, that's for sure!

I'd be there cheering them on, but I got a week-long ban from commenting on KS for some reason...

Now THIS is interesting!

I wasn't aware that KS ever really did anything much at all about anyone in the comments section.

So, having said that, what did you do?!?

Only thing I can think of is that someone was complaining about another person using sexually derogative language and commented that they filed a complaint with KS, to which I replied that KS staff usually don't do anything about it.

I guess questioning "the man" is frowned upon?

Otherwise I've been a bit sarcastic at times, but nothing touching the levels of personal insults, swearing, spamming, sexually explicit commentary and project-bashing that others have engaged in, and are still free to post comments.

The vast majority of my posts are actually helping people.

Oh well, whatever.

Also, King pledge get a King Conan AND a trained lion to maul opponents with, based on Gary Gianni's art.

Spoiler:

WIP sculpt of the King:

DAMN! The Kothian Archer looks good.

I wonder if he is a single sculpt, or if they will do some variants, so a decent army can be made?

One more...

Anyway, this one looks to be the biggest board game ever - I think?

Should beat Reaper Bones soon anyway...

Not at all. That guy is indeed.... interesting. I reported him for offensive language and insulting other backers. Let's see if they do anything...

My user name is the same as here.

And yes, on the way to beating Bones!

$19K away from bones and $50K away from the next stretch goal. 2 hours left.

Pretty boss warlock - that's from the Age of Conan MMO PVP armor set. I played the MMO, and their epic armors had some really good designs, particularly the Acheron stuff. Much better than WOW's giant shoulder pads. I would have loved to see a Herald of Xotli or Tempest of Set mini in their endgame sets.

I think we'll hit that unlock, $8k to go ($3,196,xxx) with 86 minutes left.

Final of 3,327K

It's been fun.
My last calculation was 113 free minis (that's counting the furniture) I could be off by a bit.

Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."

When we set out to make Conan, it was to give life to a saga that we all loved, to make a game that would remind us of just what it meant to be a gamer and a lover of high adventure.
But we weren’t alone, we were many and with your help, we have done so, so much more. This is not just a game anymore. It’s a symbol, a record breaker and a testament to just what this community is capable of.
Thank you for all your support, for all the trust you have placed in us. We will not disappoint.
Our tale does not stop here though, I will remain, bringing you regular updates on the project as it advances through the pledge manager, production and shipping phases. We still have plenty of models to finalize too so expect plenty of eye candy in the coming weeks!
You can also keep up with us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/monolithedition
Twitter: @Monolithedition Or my personal shenanigans on : @WhelpSlayer
As for what lies ahead for Monolith, well, you guys have blown our expectations out of the water. All bets are now off as they say but one thing is sure, you have given us the means, the encouragement and the determination to take this ball and run with it. This isn’t the last of you’ve heard of us…
It has been both an honor and a privilege to guide you all through this adventure. Peace out and until next time, may your blades be sharp, your treasure plentiful, may Crom hear your prayers and if he doesn’t, then to Hell with him!
I’ll be back…
Jamie & Monolith.

"This special, high quality collectors box will feature the exclusive art of Adrian smith and will contain enough thermoformed slots for every. single. model. that you have unlocked in this glorious campaign. All these separated into different small boxes that fit neatly inside the main chest."

Yeah, this is easily the best bonus of the KS. By far.

Having all the stuff organized in one box is the best.

WOW doesn't need giant shoulder pads.

Any word on late backer options? Totally missed the last day :/

You can add money later in pledge manager. No idea if you can join in though.

Oops, forgots to add another King Pledge. Blerg, hope I can add it at the same cost during the PM. Shadows of Brimsstone bumped up the cost by like $20 to add during their PM, and that was a mini heavy campaign like this one. sad ork face

I'm sure you will be able to.

Monolith seem better prepared to handle their success than FFP was.

I'm sure they will take your money, no problem.

Kicking back off !
Posted by Monolith Board Games LLC

Hello folks, we’re starting to get the old proverbial engine fired up again. People are back from well deserved breaks and I’m just about over a case of the dreaded man flu that’s struck me down these past few days!

So, in typical Conan style, here’s some goodies for you all:

First up, we have the mystical Yogah of Yag:




sculpted by Arnaud Boudoiron ( Thirdman Studio )

Followed by a chap who definitely has some anger management issues, a Aesir warrior from the Nordheim expansion.




We are getting stuck into the messages now, some of you will have had replies by now, other, it is on its way

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to eat another pack of Strepsils.

Elephant man is looking pretty good!

Yep, love the Yogah.

Comments are degenerating into "but it's not an elephant!", just as expected...

It's got more than a look of the big alien in chair thing from Alien.

Looks a little like the thing in avatar as well Alex C (is that intentional I wonder?)

Like the look of the Norsegard guy, and now wish I had got that expansion!

You can always PM it.

Thought this was a "young" elephant man, dat sag!

Conan just announced there will be a crossover scenario in the Nordheim expansion using the Blood Rage minis!

Now all we need are overlord tiles for all the Blood Rage figures.

That would be kind of cool, and would most certainly make me pledge for the Nordheim expansion, as if I wasn't already tempted enough!

So this confirms that Conan and Blood Rage will be compatible 28/30/32/35mm scale, base size, and materials? Nice.

I do like the Blood Rage monsters.

The Aesir is pretty weak, IMO. Stephane Simone can do much better than that (or the witchhunters). Compared to Blood Rage Vikings it's not even close, Remy really knocked those out of the park.

I couldn't find the content list for the Nordheim expansion, can someone fill me in? For 50$ and the current exchange I rate it'd have to be really packed with cool stuff to be attractive. The Foo Dog looks so much better.
