Greetings Terrans, I hope this finds you all well. Big day today droogs – I have finally finished all the Conan models from the Kickstarter!!! I’ve saved what I think is the best mini for last – the very Lovecraftian ‘Thog’:





This was a crazy thing to paint – having so much going on made it quite tricky to balance visually, so it was a really involved process. I had loads of fun wet-blending across the model, taking full advantage of the surface area to really play around with different skin tones and effects. It’s a pig to photo, but hopefully you get the idea 😊
Here’s a pic to give you an idea of scale:

So that’s it for this project – all 188 individual models are done & boxed up safely, (or are in the display cabinet if they are too big for the case). I suspect that these minis will come in useful in a number of different ways over the years, either as general bestiary items, as cheap toy soldiers for kids & pals to play Dragon Rampant with, or even forming warbands for any of the Frostgrave stable of games! Even more importantly, I had an absolute blast painting the whole set – low pressure/high volume painting is a real sweet spot for me & other than the pirates, I didn’t get fed up at all over the 6 months that it took me to get through it. Sure, they aren’t all brilliant models by any stretch of the imagination, but most are certainly adequate, and some are actually really very good! Each one was a little more practice with Contrast paints & collectively, the project has made me a better painter I think.
It might’ve taken me six years to get around to finish, but not a bad return for $135 😊
That’s absolutely brilliant mate, very HP Lovecraft, also very Chaos Spawn (very much the kind of thing I wish the Tzeentch models looked like, and would be perfect in a Necromundan sump as well). Well done on sticking it out with this project all the way through, an achievement to be proud of indeed. Dare I ask what’s next?
Cheers dude, it’s brill isn’t it? Perfect for so many games and scenarios, and a lovely thing to paint. I have a couple of whimsical things to paint in the short term, but after that I will be getting stuck into the Cursed City 🧛🏼♂️
Great colour choices Alex, and your attention to detail on this beast has given it a sense of life.
Cheers mate, I had loads of fun with the skin tones here – really nice to paint 😊
That is a fantastic model- as you say very lovecraftian, that mixed witha GW chaos spawn too.
Getting all your Conan models finished is a great achievement too.
Cheers,
Pete.
Cheers mate, it’s great isn’t it? 😊
So much fun to paint 👍
That is brilliant! :-) Does my eyes in trying to work it out!
Haha, cheers mate – perfect for a sanity-shredding Lovecraftian horror!
Oh wow, that’s a huge boi and would fit into any Lovecraftian game! Fantastic job on the painting, it looks absolutely horrific!
Cheers mate, horrific is very much the aim 😉
That is horrible, it makes me a little sick just looking at it, well done!
And also a very big well done on getting all of those done, the I thought they all looked great!
Cheers dude, it’s a messed up thing for sure, but great fun to paint 😊
That thing is absolutely terrifying, love it.
That many models finished like that is a serious achievement too, fantastic work Alex!
Cheers dude! I reckon he’d make a nasty encounter in Ghost Archipelago 😉
This post didn’t come up in my feed for some reason Alex but fortunately I stumbled across is this morning. All in all that’s quite an achievement, 188 in 6 months! Well done mate and yes, you really did save the best until last. Terrific job mate. Looking forward to what you have planned next.🙂
Cheers dude, it is quite a haul isn’t it? I must admit, I’m pretty pleased with it all, and this nightmare creature in particular 😊
Absolutely insane! I totally love it!
Cheers Roger.
Cheers mate, it’s a crazy mini for sure, but really matches the story it’s taken from!
Congratulations on completing this epic project. I’ve really enjoyed following along with you.
Thog looks amazing. I assume it’s meant to be some kind of end-boss for the game? It looks like Conan is going to have his work cut out for him!
Aw, thanks mate – it has been a long old project so thanks for sticking with it!
Congratulations on both the cosmic horror and finishing a huge set of minis, you’ve done an awesome job and it’s been a pleasure following it :)
Aw, cheers dude 😊
Congratulations on finally finishing the Conan set – no easy task and I’ve got a long, long way to get anywhere near to where you’ve gotten with these.
I really love what you’ve done on Thog here – you’ve achieved a really nice “painted” effect – in that it looks like it would be part of some of the actual artwork with the almost Impressionist style used across the model. I am impressed on both fronts! :)
Cheers dude, I did have fun with Thog 😉
I can only join in with everyone else’s praise and admiration for your completion of this project in such style.
Aw, thanks mate 😊
