Are there any models out there that I can misappropriate as Conan?
I ideally want a few models by the same sculptor of ‘Conan’ in various outfits.
Obligatory loincloth being one, and some sort of leathery trouser affair and a big battle, chainmail, helmet shield type too if possible.
Sssssh don’t tell anyone.
Whatever offers the best choice and compatibility with others.
28mm I am guessing…
I have this one since a VERY long time (left of picture) and his girlfriend (standing in front of him) but I’ve no idea who made them or if they are still on the market (and I should repaint them, they were painted with Enamel etc…)

https://www.anargader.net/Hmm, this may be a tougher one than I thought, especially given that some consistency would (presumably) be required with the sculpting style and size. My first obvious instinct was to check Reaper, but even with their Figure Finder there’s a lot to browse through. They have several figures that would make excellent loincloth-Conans (and are clearly intended for that exact purpose) but I’m starting to doubt they have corresponding-looking figures suitable for the other two versions, let alone by the same sculptor.
If you’d be prepared to look for figures from different manufacturers and sculptors then I might have some suggestions, but it’s a gamble as to whether they’d turn out to be of consistent size and style “in the flesh”, and I would accept no responsibility for that
By the way, is it specifically the old movie version of Conan you’re looking to represent?
Going slightly off-topic, I personally would love a figure of Conan exactly the way he appears in the very earliest Marvel comics from the 70s. You know, that iconic picture of him running/charging at a sort of half-crouch, wearing a fur loincloth and that helmet with the two horns sticking out the front.

Are you feeling alright?
I was wondering the same thing!
Maybe this is like a Monty Python skit where AB is accidentally multiplying every number by 5…
I second the Copplestone Castings 15mm Barbarians, I use them for all my Crom games.
Pics speak louder than words
Also, sorry, are there any other 15mm that are more like the Copplestone 18mm that would match well?
I think CC would work for most of my barbarian needs and the picts are nice, but I would want city folk and stuff, are they out there and compatible?You might take a look at the Monolith miniatures boardgame “Conan”. Here is a sculpture from it:
Hells teeth those are excellent.
I think 32mm is going to be too big though, but they look great.I have broken my golden rule of never buying from a site that does not accept PayPal, to order some Copplestone Castings figures.
Will post up progress as it happens.I am awaiting the big man himself before deciding much else.
But I am thinking a film style dry climate.
If nothing else it gives a reason for him getting his pecs out all the time.Plus I have never done a desert world/setting.
Any suggestions for 15/18mm fantasy buildings?
I will of course make some myself, but time is also of course of a factor..Crom is perfect for solo/co-op.
It is basically a dicepool engine where your heroes have say 10 to 12 dice and your average mook 3 to 5.
These dice are used for movement and attack and defence so it comes down to risk management. How much do I move or attack and what do I keep in reserve for defence.
I’ve found that hit and run and ambush strategies seem to work best, exactly how I like my Conan
OI Strozie Mate!!
I have ordered a set of the rules, is the e-mail that contains the link manual or instant-automatic do you recall?
Don’t forget the Crom Companion, priced at “pay what you want”:
It came with the rules for free!

A steal! I am riddled…
I really want to do a kind of Zamora deserty dry board.
I can only think of using really fine sand and the odd bit of flock here are there and stuff, anyone any suggestions, or better yet examples?So, I have been looking for some desert style 15mm that would go with the Copplestone Barbs, anyone got any they can confirm are a similar size/build/height.
Ancient historicals may well do.
They are on my shortlist, just trying to find something from the EU to avoid large shipping and import fees.
Do not forget Tre Manor of Red Box Games.
He does some brilliant barbarians: http://red-box-games.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14&products_id=311
If that is not a classic Conan, then I do not know what is.
