  1. Hi there! For now, they are five galleries on the website: - Batman - Conan - Mythic Battles: Pantheon - Contest - IRL I'd like to have another gallery, named 'Other Games' in order to share more conveniently pictures of other (non Monolith) games and I was wondering if other people around here find that useful and if you were willing to do this. @SentMa, la même chose pourrait être envisagée côté francophone, d'ailleurs, s'il y a des amateurs.
  2. Neat! I like the staging of your picture, but maybe it could be interesting to see your miniature with more light, on a second picture, as the dark background give us only a glimpse of your paintjob.
  3. Seconded. An ominous mountain could do the trick and it could be called: 'Crom!' : « Their chief is Crom. He dwells on a great mountain. What use to call on him? Little he cares if men live or die. Better to be silent than to call his attention to you; he will send you dooms, not fortune! He is grim and loveless, but at birth he breathes power to strive and slay into a man's soul. What else shall men ask of the gods? » REH, The Queen of the Black Coast. But maybe Sentma has currently his hands full with the reprint of MBP.

    Yeah. I know. It's the privilege of females to display red buttocks when available. So this should be a Woman Ape. Still, maybe it's a coming out. Who knows? I just couldn't resist painting this in red. Neat way to highlight the mini.
  5. Hi there! I wish to dedicate this topic to both Des Webb and Frans de Waal.
  6. My wife, my brother's girlfriend and myself did a session of Heroquest painting this very afternoon. Here's some of the job made: Aside from these WIP zombies, there's still the mummies, the dwarf, the gargoyle and some furniture to do, and then it'll be full painted.
  7. Zelata! A character I'm very fond of, as well in the game as in the Hour of the Dragon. I'm not sure if it's my paintjob, a too heavy undercoat or the miniature itself, but it seems like the poor old hag arrived too late at the nose shop. Kinda like You-Know-Who.
  8. It's kinda hard to put a picture after @Walrusboy77... Anyway: here's my Amra.

    Without his lion, for now.

    Just toying around with my camera and the gimp last night.

    I'm not a huge fan of that miniature, but I'm looking forward to see it in action in the Community Compaign!
  12. Here's mine. It has been a WIP during a quite long time. I hope I'll manage to paint more from now.
  13. Hi there! It's something different than the Compendium from the KS campaign of MB-P. Two Compendia have been made by the French-speaking community of the Overlord with the support of Monolith for the boardgame Conan. You'll find their online version here and there. Now, the first compendium has been translated into English and the second one is currently being translated. The summary in English for the first one is here. Now, as @Doucefeuille wrote on this topic, the third compendium will be about MB-P and not Conan. It's planned that it will be released simultaneously in French and in English. I hope it's clearer for you now.
  14. Although the miniature is flawed, yours is gorgeous. I'm stunned with the quality of your work. It's precise, masterful. Makes me want to cry (due to the contrast with my paintjob) and ask for more as eye candy! Kudos!
  15. Hi there! For Mind Control, the French text states: Seems to me, that it's not the same as the English text at all. I'd translate it roughly by: So I'd say that if you spend one gem, you may use 2 movement points for that enemy. (With a maximum of 4 movement points for the exertion of 3 gems.) And as the Teleportation card states: I'm pretty sure that you don't have to pay one gem to activate the spell, because the Teleportation card explicitly states that you have to pay an initial cost of 1 gem before moving the spellcaster by spending extra gems (one by zone). I'm quite surprised by the difference between the English and the French text for the Mind Control card. I'd be curious to learn if it is the French or the English version that is correct.
  16. I've read the pitch of the first scenarii you wrote and I must say it sounds amazing, with an original but consistent group of heroes. And icing on the cake, it's lore-friendly. I'm really looking forward to play it. I'll try to gather four players besides of my actual group playing Monolith's campaign. If I manage to do that (in a not-that distant future, if it pleases Mitra), I'll let you know how it turned out. Kudos for the excellent work you've done!
  17. Yeah, I must admit I'm rather proud of that mini. But it's quite simple to do. Here's my modus operandi and the name of the Citadel colors I used: Black undercoat For the body: - I painted the whole body with Dryad Bark - I highlighted the muscles and the folds of the body with Wazdakka Red - In the red areas I made this way, I painted a smaller area in Evil Stunz Scarlet - In those lighter red areas, I painted a smaller area in Troll Slayer Orange - In those orange areas, I painted a final, even smaller area in Yriel Yellow For the claws and the teeths: - I painted them in Pallid Wych Flesh - And made several washes with Seraphim Sepia For the eyes: - I painted the eye in Abbadon Black - And then the iris and the pupil of the eye in White Scar For the plait: - From the end of the hair till the head, I used those colors: Wazdakka Red, Evil Stunz Scarlet, Troll Slayer Orange, Yriel Yellow - On the head, some hair using White Scar - At the end of the plait, some hair in Xereus Purple - On the plait, to smoothen the transitions between colors, I painted some hair from the lighter color (for instance, some Troll Slayer Orange hair among the Evil Stunz Scarlet ones. I hope this helps.
  18. Honestly, I'm not sure what makes a miniature a 28mm or a 32mm scale, as Conan miniatures are seen as 28mm (if I'm not mistaken) but are somewhat of different heights. From feet to head, it measures roughly 35mm, so I guess it's ratherish 32mm. A bit tall for the Conan minis, but still looking great.
  19. Auto esti to Lakedaimôn! I guess this is classic Greek for This is Sparta?
  20. Neat! I love what you've done with the sarcophagus!
