Not Quite Dead

The mummies in this game are easy and quick to paint. Not sure it'll be the same with the one of Conan.

With that guy, I used for the first time the Typhus Corrosion by Citadel. A really neat paint that should come handy when I'll be painting all those skellies.

There may be too much brown on that rather dark miniature. It was my first try at painting obsidian blades too.

And your Primitives? What do they look like?

You could try to send a PM to @SentMa.

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.

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.

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.

Hi there!

I wish to dedicate this topic to both Des Webb and Frans de Waal.

Here are mine:

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.

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.

It's kinda hard to put a picture after @Walrusboy77...

Anyway: here's my Amra.

Here's mine. It has been a WIP during a quite long time. I hope I'll manage to paint more from now.

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.

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!

Hi there!

For Mind Control, the French text states:

Quote

Ciblez une figurine adverse sans ligne de vue.

Déplacez-la d'1 zone + 1 zone par gemme dépensée en suivant les restrictions de déplacement et sans que cela ne provoque de dégât à la figurine.

Seems to me, that it's not the same as the English text at all.
I'd translate it roughly by:

Quote

Pick a enemy miniature without a line of sight.

Move it from 1 zone + 1 zone by gem spent, following the rules of hindering, and without causing any damage to the miniature.

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:

Quote

Pour toute gemme dépensée après avoir payé le coût du sort, le lanceur peut se déplacer d'une zone.

Ce mouvement n'est affecté par aucun obstacle. Le lanceur n'a pas besoin d'avoir une ligne de vue avec sa destination.

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.

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!

Love this. Is it 32mm?

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.

a) You must have an account on this forum (so this condition is valid for the three of us, obviously

b) at some point of the future @SentMa will announce here that he will send an e-mail on the address linked to your account (it's the one you'll find under 'Account Settings') with an invitation to Fluent

c) using this invitation, you will have some days to create an account on Fluent and order the compendium you want

As I haven't used Fluent yet, I can't explain you what you will have to do there. I guess you'll have to give your physical address and pay the shipping fee for the compendium (if it's the same as it was on the French speaking forum, Monolith will offer you the compendium, and you'll have to pay only the shipping fee).

I hope this helps and that I haven't said something wrong.

Do you know if they plan to adapt every novel by REH?

Hi, @ronveer. I've had a lot of work this week, so that I couldn't come back to the translation until today.

I wasn't sure of what you meant by 'token reward'. Is there a case in the rules of the game or an official scenario in which they are token rewards? I'd gladly look at it to understand how to translate properly this expression.

A really cool-looking miniature! I love his conquistador-like look, even if I remember the original character being less classy. It was a pleasure to paint it.

And you? What does your Zaporavo look like?

Arachnophobia is the phobia number one amongst humans, I've heard. Not surprising if you know that our amygdala are tuned to make us detect what looks like spiders, just in case...

Here's mine and its model from real life, an araniella curcubitina I've found on the net (pun intended).

I'm really looking forward to see your little eight-eyed, eight-legged abominations.

By reading Beyond the Black River and looking at Louinet's comments, it seems to me that REH's Picts are more similar to Native American than to the historical Pictish tribes.

Here's my Pictish archers, by the way, painted quite a while back:

Neat idea!

Where is the example you updated? Is this the description on the forum, or in the afore-mentionned document?
