Not Quite Dead

Erratum: the live will be screened not on Tuesday, but on Thursday (today). I'm sorry: I always mix up those two days.

It will be on 14h30 (UTC+2).

More news on the Trictrac forum, where @Fred Henry said that:

Jeudi en début d'apres midi nous ferons un live chez TT, avec Guillaume,Phal, Croc, Pit et moi-même, afin d'expliquer les tenants et les aboutissants du projet Beyond The Monolith. 

Début Janvier, la campagne sera celle de "Conan, Beyond The Monolith". C'est à dire que seront commercialisées simultanément la boite du moteur de jeu ET les boites de faction du premier univers qu'elle permettra d'animer, à savoir le monde de Conan. 
Quatre boîtes de faction seront proposées dans un premier temps en janvier : "Pirates n'Privateers" ; "Dangerous Wilderness" ; "Demons n'Sorcerers" ; et enfin "Aquilonian forces".

Here's a rough translation:

During Thursday, on the beginning of the afternoon, we'll make a live video on the Tric-Trac community*, where Guillaume, Phal, Croc, Pit and I** will explain what is the project Beyond the Monolith.

On the beginning of January, there will be a KS campaign, Conan, Beyond the Monolith, during which the Engine Box, and the Faction boxes of the first universe (that is said, Conan universe) will be sold.

At first, four factions boxes will be sold: 'Pirates n'Privateers', 'Dangerous Wilderness', 'Demons n' Sorcerers' and 'Aquilonian forces.

* the Tric-Trac community is a large French-speaking website about boardgames.

** Guillaume is someone working for Tric-Trac, Phal was the founder of Tric-Trac but has recently retired from it, Croc is a game developer who was behind, among other games, Claustrophobia, and I'm ashamed to admit that I have no idea about who Pit is.

From this, and what I've read on the French-speaking forum, it seems to me that this campaign will focus on a Versus Mode of Conan, something similar to what was made for Batman. And to answer to @garbetsp's question, with the few info I've read here and there, I guess that some of the content of this new campaign will be the same as the one from the initial Conan campaign. I hope that the players of Conan won't have to buy everything again, as Fred Henry answerd on another thread, to a member of the Overlord that was saying that he was saving gold coins for the January campaign that seasonned players of Conan will need only copper coins.

I guess we'll get more precise news on Thursday.

Some news regarding what Monolith is up to for 2020:

Neat! With a green shirt, that guy always makes me think to Link.

They look good, @Ken! Kudos to you and your wife!

Yours looks better than mine, in my opinion. On the French-speaking forum, I loved the one painted by guewen, because of the runes he added on freehand.

Although I'm not really happy of what I've done with that mini, with more than 200 miniatures waiting to be painted only for Conan, I know I'll never redo it.

One question to you, as you're playing in English: is he named 'Sorcerer' or 'Warlock'?

Great-looking components!

How are they used in the game?

Well, that's a nice pace, you've got there! I'm kinda jealous.

I love the village on the gigantic turtle carcass. This games seems to have some quite original miniatures/settings.

Well, I love it.

After my post, yesterday, I had a look through a search engine and this game is quite different from the other I've seen on this theme. I guess it will be a real change to paint these ships instead of miniatures of people. The scale could be challenging as well, indeed, as some ships seem to have a lot of details.

I've never heard of this game, but I really like this terrain and the way you've painted it. The contrast between the very dark rocks and the lava is great, the stairs seems to be made from another kind of rock, brought from afar... it works very well, in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to seeing more miniatures and terrains from this game! Have fun painting them!

Why not, if some other player is okay to post instead of you. But for that, we'd need at least a third one.

Well, it's been more than a whole year since the last post on this thread, it seems.

Does someone around wish that we start a new game? I can clear the leaderboard, if you want, to keep things interesting for new players.

Hi there. Looks like most of the pictures of this thread were wiped away...

Anyway... here's one more!

Hi there and welcome!

There should be a new Kickstarter Campaign for Conan in January 2020. I guess that you may buy the expansion you're looking for at a decent price at that time.

Nicely done. She seems to have a quite stern expression. Really interesting.

And, as Belkar used to say to Roy: « I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go. » *cough*

Nice one, @garbetsp! About priming when the weather is too hot, I've made the same mistake too, and that's really annoying.

The leader of the Zuagirs... that is until Conan was picked up on this cross.

What does your Vladislav looks like?

Well done, @rhogg27184! I'm looking forward of what you'll do with the expansions miniatures.

I guess the problem comes from the fact I've renamed (sic!) the picture in my gallery. I give it another try.

Here's a picture of the unnamed sorcerer from the King's Pledge:

Have you painted yours? What does he looks like?

I don't like that miniature, whose molding lines are badly placed.

Quite happy with this one! First, the miniature is great, with a lot of interesting details. Second, I didn't mess with his eyes, this time. Not that happy with how I painted his legs, though, but overall, a paintjob I'm proud of.

And you? Have you painted your Nemedian thief?

From the French Overlord site, the rumor is "Red Nails" is the focus.

Not sure that is a rumour. Maybe it's only a wish from @Pallantides, but as he writes the intro of the scenarii for Monolith, it could be promising.

Last thing I read on the French-speaking board regarding his collaboration, was someone from Monolith (I guess it was Fred Henry), telling him to get ready to write something.

I don't think Akivasha has its own topic yet, so I start with a picture of mine:

As often, I'm not really happy with her eyes (and that face was kinda hard to reach, under her strange coif). I should have rework those, but I didn't dare to do it, fearing to get a less satisfying result. On the other hand, I'm quite happy with her loincloth, and I even managed to make tiny vampire's canine that you can see only if you know they are there.

And you? What do your Stygian vampires look like?

Thanks for the info, @Ruan. I share your hopes about Conan being first.
