I have indeed seen (and played) with the pre-production plastics. No bending and all the details are very clear. In addition it’s worth mentioning that Monolith aren’t handling the games design for Mythic Battles. That’s done by Mythic Games. Leo has mentioned that they’ve done the thick end of a thousand playtest games for it […]

@toshkien – sorry to hear that. The MB miniatures should not suffer from those issues for a number of reasons, mostly to do with being able to learn from Monolith’s experience with Conan. I have on my desk the first test shots from the production moulds of the core box figures. They are sharp, highly detailed, […]

guys a word of caution here, the ks spartan from Conan looks nothing like the quality they have shown, and the overall quality of the minis goes from good to terrible, i have minis that are so warped that they look like extras from the smooth criminal video, and thats not even mentioning all the […]

I suspect that may in part have been down to the long delays in fulfilling the project. If it looks likely that everything can be ready by December, or even a few months after, I would guess that it will all ship in one wave.

Monolith have split Conan into two waves so if there’s any add-ons you will probably see multi wave shipping

Can´t wait to see the next SGs after Jason… This KS hit me hard with the hype train. ^^

I`m JockeZockt at KS 😉

This weekend and all this chatter has only exacerbated my withdrawal symptoms of this game lol

That’s right. The core box is tooled, and some of the add-ons (I think), but not everything yet. Still, that’s miles more advanced than Conan (and most other projects I’ve seen up close). Details aside, the date was chosen to be one that they were as confident as possible they could hit, without being so […]

I think we’ve only seen pre-production plastics of the core box, and possibly the Nemean Lion. There’s a lot of other minis which could be unlocked and I don’t know if they are in tooling yet.

Fair points, so it is them being cautious. I understand that processes take time but everything i have seen onthis seems to siggest they have already completed most of the tooling as they have copies of the plastic minis. Ok the shipping from china could be an issue, given i am still waiting for the […]

@unclejimmy sorry mate missed the original question. Answer: down to the lake…i fear (i think)

Oh I want all the goodies, so much so I’d pay more to have some of it sooner!

@redben – shipping can be very pricy, and split shipping almost doubles that already big chunk of cost. Nobody does split shipping if they can avoid it. That’s the company POV.

From an individual’s stance I can see your argument. Hopefully there won’t be that many people who don’t want all the extra goodies 🙂

@commodorerob – Conan took a lot of flak for being late, and they don’t want to do that twice. Plus, they have erred deliberately on the side of longer because it’s a guess. When you set up a KS you have to pick a delivery date without any clue how well you will do at the […]
