Conan: Rise of Monsters To Relaunch On Kickstarter This June
April 26, 2017 by deltagamegirl22
Big news from Pulposaurus Entertainment. They've announced they will be relaunching their Conan: Rise of Monsters game on Kickstarter on June 13th, 2017!
If you remember, this was the prepainted miniatures game we saw at Gen Con two years ago (with the brilliant mammoth!). Conan: Rise of Monsters allows you to pit Thoth-Amon’s Legion of Set against Conan’s Circle of Iron.
Fast play rules and custom dice for each faction get you to the action quick and everything you need for your savage warriors is right on their unit card.
Some units also have Special Abilities built into their rules or triggered whenever they roll a “sigil” on the custom dice.
Will you be jumping into the prepaint world of Conan this June?

I was deeply unimpressed with this when it first launched, I felt it was too expensive for what it offered and certainly suffered from coming so soon after the Monolith Conan KS. Let’s see if they have made it more accessible this time around.
I agree, this was a piece of crap compared to similar KSs.
Hey Tresilliian and Raglan. This is Shane from Pinnacle / Pulposaurus. We have retooled it and I think it’s far more in line with what Kickstarter backers are looking for. We were originally trying to make it retail compatible but that’s pretty tricky for a small company like us and a prepainted game. We also have much more help and support from our partner companies now too. I don’t know if the new offering will work for you either, but check it out and see for yourself. We’ll be showing the details over the next few weeks so you can… Read more »
I seem to recall them being too big in scale and thus too pricey?
I can be mistaken.
The price in any case seemed less than appealing.
I do like the idea behind the game though.
Hey Darth! We’re “GW” scale (about 34mm for Conan, for example). The problem was we were trying to make it work for retail, and with a prepainted game that’s pretty tricky for a small company like ours. I think you’ll like the new package better…please let us know when you see the details.
Thanks 🙂
Shane
I for one am looking forward to it!
Sounds like “pre-painted” was driving costs up. Any unpainted, less expensive options this time around? The world needs more good minis … that much we all can agree upon.
I for one feel that the world needs more Conan stuff!
Good luck! The Kickstarter gods are fickle … but may they be with you this time 😉
Our license is for “prepainted” and that’s what we always wanted it to be. Our friends at Monolith have “unpainted” Conan minis covered quite well though. Thanks!
