Speedpainting Conan: TMG

Nearly done with the last of the characters.  First the best bit of art, although the sculpt is a bit meh, Belit.

Thak the ape-man.

Gitara the lover of Khemsa.

Zaporavo, pirate captain.

Shevatas the master thief

Taurus the Prince of Thieves who assists Conan in his adventure in the Tower of the Elephant.

Some more of the last batch of characters.  Firstly we have the mage Hadrathus, again cheating a bit here with some flame effect and OSL from Vallejo Fluros.

Conan in his Warlord form.

A Kothian archer.

Last of the minions and almost all of the characters done.  That only leaves the monsters and the main man himself.  Firstly for today the Bossonian Archers.

This is General Conan when he led a mercenary army.  Slightly strange effect on the armour in the art, not sure if it is supposed to show it gilded or made of some different alloy but it has a slightly yellow/greenish hue which I went with as well.

Nearly there now.  The monsters are the last miniatures left.  These are the first ones done.  Firstly the Dark Demon

Bone Golem – easiest paint in the whole project – just a generous coat of Pallid Bone.

Some more demons, a Forst Demon and a Swamp Demon (in all the greens)

A perennial favourite foe, the Gray Man Ape

Creepy crawlies, a giant scorpion and giant spider.

Here are the remaining creatures starting with the largest, every Stygian’s favourite and pride of Thulsa Doom – the Giant Snake.

Thog, demon God of Xuthal.

A Demon from the Outer Dark

And finally a glass-jawed camel.

That’s it for Conan: The Miniatures Game apart from the main man who I saved as a treat until the end.  At the same time as this game I also did the four minis from the Conan Tower of the Elephant game.  They will be in the next update.

Here’s the main sculp of the main man.

That’s 245 miniatures done in 16 weeks or about 2 a day.  Bearing in mind this wasn’t the only project I worked on during this time.  I was inspired to try to recreate the Adrian Smith art on the miniatures and Speedpaints definitely helped with getting the same look that Adrian has in his watercolour work.The full gallery of Adrian’s concept artwork for this game can be found here.

Up next I’m starting to play both games, starting with the smaller one Tower of the Elephant.

There are four minis in this game, the rest are standees that I’m hoping I can swap for actual minis now I’ve got so many painted.  The four in this set are slightly smaller than the main set but look fine next to them.  Conan is small and weedy looking but this is his first adventure when he was a very young man.

His fellow thief Taurus.

Yara the evil sorcerer.

And finally Yara’s pet, a giant spider.

And finally a shot of them all in the game context.  I’m still learning this one and the Let’s Play from the developers and Sam is proving very useful.

All done then.  Here it is:

And then back into the foam inserts before going away:

Its been fun.  That is the second one of these big box games finished now after Mythic Battles: Pantheon which I completed a few years ago.  The next one will be started later in the year, Solomon Kane.  I want to get the expanded Speedpaints set first and finish my Spring Clean Challenge but then I’m all over it.
