Pre-Painted King Conan Gets Previewed For Rise Of Monsters
July 29, 2015 by brennon
Conan: Rise Of Monsters by Pulposaurus continue to show off some awesome pre-painted miniatures for their upcoming wargame which will be on Kickstarter this Friday (31st July 2015). Not only have they showed off some more infantry for the game but also King Conan himself...
What Is Best In Life?
First up we have the King himself who is looking pretty good for a pre-painted miniature. As always when looking at this range this is the model from the factory but they are aiming to get their whole range looking just as spot on as this when you open up your set.
Monsters are always easier for pre-painting so it's great to see some human models where we can see what they're doing with skin tones. They've gone as far as to do a bit of shading here which is a lot better than most companies.
Archers & Priests
The deadly Bossonian Archers are going to be supporting King Conan on the field of battle and they're looking very nice indeed. What this does stress however is that the models look to be all the same pose in this game. To be honest though with the quality of the painting is this a big thing to you?
Fighting for Thoth-Amon we also have the Priests Of set who I think are looking very nice indeed. Their deadly curved kopesh blades just need a bit of slick blood to complete them I think.
Overall this is looking to be quite the interesting campaign. The models are going to be 32mm in scale as well so they will be a bit bigger than most people are used to with wargaming. I guess this is to give them a bit more presence on the battlefield and also affords them a chance to get more detail worked in there.
What do you think?

this is pre paint?!! I am speechless. the quality is really good. it is looking better than most tabletop standard you get to see. can’t wait to see more. Well done guys.
the paint is not bad, its how the cast minis turned out that concerns me .. conan is pretty good but the detail on the soldiers looks very blocky. too bad cause i liked the mammoth, perhaps the monsters will turn out better.
For pre-paints those are actually really good.
I sometimes wish all miniatures had a base colours put on before I got them. I find applying them can be quite tedious, especially if you’re bulk painting. These, on the other hand, look quite table ready!
If they can mass produce at that quality, I will back the kickstarter. I would want to apply some washes and highlights, but the bulk of the work on the models is already done if you just want tabletop standard.
They look good for pre paints.
Over the past few years I have been amazed at the quality of pre painted models. I had a few anime models that were cheap but had crisp anime eyes as well as some ships that had markings that were very small but detailed. In time you might be able to just buy it all paint at studio level.
Colour me very, very intrigued (pardon the pun ladies and gents).
I read somewhere on DakkaDakka that these models are the painting guides for the production company.
Cool looking minis.
