GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

Well, this is an interesting coincidence given that I've recently decided to repurpose all my marauders for a Skeggi themed force.

 

Hilarious in how unnecessary they are. I remember accidently getting a box of push fit Cadians. My flatmate of the time then had to endure me ranting for about half an hour about how Cadians did not need simplifying, and that push for Cadians remove the best thing about Cadians: their ability to be easily used in conversions (I was working on my C&C Nod infantry influenced troops at the time).

So yeah, hilarious in that "if I'm not laughing, I'll be ranting" coping mechanism sense.

 

Nice new models. A big improvement over the older ones that @Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl posted a few posts back.

 

Hooray for no more conan the barbarian 20 year old marauders.

 

To be fair, they still look like Conan the Barbarian... just updated. Lol.

 

Hmm... not quite. They look more Viking inspired (which, Norscan, that makes sense); whether they're more true to actual Vikings rather than the stereotype, I couldn't say, aside from the fact that these guys are actually dressed for cool weather and not going bare chested like clothing has gone out of fashion.

Conan the Barbarian styled minis are the AoS Darkoath range. Mind, I've seen plenty of comments stating intentions to mix the two ranges for more diversity of menacing barbarian menacers.

 

hooray for Conan with Jason momoa as opposed to Arnold Marauders!

 

I'mma be honest... I completely forgot that was a thing that happened.

When I think of Conan, I, being a gentleman of culture, think of this version:

 

I understand it wasn't to everyone's taste, but as a fan of Robert E. Howard's original stories, I felt like the 2011 movie was closer to them in spirit than the 80's films, which I also like.

 

I agree. it was good, but it wasn't amazing.

 

Boo... Arnold all the way. Lol.

Although, I do like Momoa.

 

Although Arnold's Conan movie doesn't have as many direct story similarities to Howard's work, it "feels" more like Conan than the Momoa movie. It's hard to put a finger on it for me. It's probably just because I saw the movie before reading the Howard stories. It's been argued that the second Conan (or even Red Sonja?) was closer in tone to Howard's stories. I can see that.

 

Arnold conan wasn't bad, its just power metal conan vs Momoa's more gritty conan

 

Nice to see a Lizardmen oriented book:
