Again, if I’m being really critical, I’d have to pint out that the axe handle is bowed, but that is a minor gripe.įinally, we have ‘Amra the Lion’ – aka ‘King Conan’ and his pet lion: He was another beauty to paint too, with all of the combined interest points from across the range so far, and I’m really pleased with that axe blade. The pose is spot on, the detailing is excellent, and this mins really showcases what can be achieved with cheapy plastics. I adore this model… in fact it is a solid contender for ‘best model in the whole damn game’ if you ask me. I had fun painting reflections on the sword 😊 If I were being critical, I’d say that the sword pommel is a bit crappy, but otherwise this is a lovely mini.Īnd so we come to my personal favourite – ‘Conan the Warlord’: All the metal was fun to paint, and nicely offset with the flowing cape.
I really like this version of Conan – he’s a bit more grown up here, well-armed & armoured, but the mini still captures the wildness and grace that is so central to the character. I love this mini – the ‘come at me’ pose is so gloriously over the top that it is hard not to love it 😊 From a painting perspective, there is plenty going on here with skin, cloth, leather, fur and metal all prominent & well executed – another real joy to paint. This is another belter of a mini – compared to the simplicity of the last one, this version nicely detailed & I really like the pose… The double-axe loadout is particularly cool! Again, having plenty of skin to work with made this a very nice mini to paint. All that lovely musculature was a joy to paint and I really went to town with the skin tones, even taking some inspiration from Frazetta with the shading. This is a lovely mini, and while he isn’t titled ‘the Barbarian, it’s hard not to think of him as such – this is quintessentially ‘fantasy barbarian’ in my opinion. Let’s get started with the basic ‘Conan’: Including stretch goals, the set contains 6 iterations of the steely-thewed Cimarian – some of the minis are better than others & there are a few size discrepancies, but overall, these minis are up there with the best in the game. Greetings Terrans, how goes it? I am extremely happy to report that this is the final ‘Characters’ post relating to my painting of Monolith’s Conan game… I still have some monsters to get through, but the never-ending tide of characters is now done – so what better way to finish than with the eponymous hero himself!
