Here a couple of the monster characters from the Conan boardgame from Monolith. Easy to paint but of great multi-purpose use across various fantasy or horror game systems.
Mini Update: Monstrosities from the World of Conan

Hidden in the Media Gallery. Some pics that are randomly showing in the media area of the blog…
Some of the images/projects below may have made an appearance on this blog previously. I can’t be 100% sure. For the sake of “catching up” I am posting them here just in case. It is random, but then some of the best things are.
Can’t see the wood for the trees. A medley of Ents and treemen.
I had almost forgotten about my blog. So why should you remember about it either? In a vain attempt to update the blog with some content that has been waiting on the side lines for quite sometime now, I present the gathering (woodland, forest) of treefolk that I’ve accumulated over time. They come from various manufacturers and different time periods of my hobby life.
A previous post looks a bit more closely at this resin not-so-miniature guy from Stonehaven Miniatures
Still here. Just being negligent. Here is a big mean thing to revitalise things.
It’s been over a year since my last post and even then there had only been a handful in 2023. I do love this blog but my attention has been drawn to other matters in recent times. Will I rectify this? I hope so.
In the mean time here is a large Kraken from the boardgame Conan that I finished off a while ago. He has not made it to the table yet (haven’t been playing very much either) but I think he looks the part if a little risqué (I didn’t sculpt him so not my fault).
High Heavens: Greek, Norse and Egyptian Pantheons, RIP
It with a bit of a heavy heart that I write this post. Some time ago I backed the High Heavens Kickstarter as the game appealed greatly with so many Gods battling it out. The KS delivered and the game was good and the miniatures ‘not bad’. As you’ll see from earlier posts that I’ve painted a few others previously.
This batch I painted last summer. And this is the sad part.
Mythic Battles: Pantheon arrived.
Okay, MB:P is just the Greek Pantheon (Norse coming soon). It also covers far more territory than just Gods. However, the contrast in miniature quality in every regard – sculpting, material quality and conceptually – is far far better than High Heavens.
Mythic Battles: Pantheon is a much more appealing painting project I am afraid. And as anyone that backed the KS will know – there is a lot to paint. So the rest of the High Heavens Gods may not get any attention for a very long time, if ever. (I’ve recently finished the Core box of Mythic Battles: Pantheon and will be posting pics soon).
So this may well be a swan song post for High Heavens. Adieu.
The Greek Pantheon:

Rise of the Undead: Conan the Board Game
A while back I was dipping in to painting up some more of the fine miniatures from the Conan Board Game from Monolith/Mythic. I though I’d select some of the undead troops and characters in case they proved useful as double duty in some other skirmishy/warband game.
This first one is an odd sculpt and I’m not that keen on it but it does look a bit better once painted.
