Mythic Battles: Pantheon Demo Game
October 30, 2016 by dignity
It's time for us to battle as mighty Gods as Leo from Mythic Games joins us and runs us through a game of Mythic Battles: Pantheon.
This is an epic game where our titanic Gods clash with heroic warriors and terrifying beasts in a battle for control.
Who will come out on top between Warren and Justin? You can also check out The Weekender XLBS where we talk tactics with Leo in an after action report.
Do you like the look of Mythic Battles: Pantheon?

Looking forward to this
Even if it is not playing yet …
Ok, I am sold
Hi team. .. its not playing.. saying “This video is private”…
Should play now, every year without fail the switch to GMT causes a snafu! Lol
Ohhh that time of the year again …
What an interesting game …. minis are beautiful …… and the result ….. =)
that opening is more than a bit bloody impressive, npw on to see how the gameplays
Quick question. was this your BoW cell-shading on these models?
Just one step short, no quickshade or matt spray on the models leo brought over. 🙂
I have to admit: when @warzan said he was going for elegance, I snorted tea out my nose.
lol wait and see 😉
“I’m in a killy mood” – So much for elegance lol
Warren, when you used Athena’s strategist ability for the second time (just after you ran through your deck), I don’t think you searched your deck for any three cards. You tried to spend an AoW card to search for another unit and Justin pointed out that you couldn’t because you’d already done that to search for Athena, but you would have had all the cards you needed for that activation.
Ill have to keep that in mind for next time!
It would also have put three extra cards in your hand so you weren’t then having to dop deck in subsequent turns.
Great game, like the way that you draft your force.
Love the tactical possibilities you have.
I am definitely going to back this.
Absolutely.Awesomely. Fantastic. Thank you Leo for bringing this in to the Beasts of War Studio. The outstanding game of the year.
…..i’ve Always hated Zone movement Wargames….UNTILL NOW!!!…..Absolutely Amazing!!!!!….And you can play this 4 vs 4Free For All or 2 vs 2 Team Deathmatch Right out of the Box….I definetely Need to get this!!!!!…
Haven’t even properly unpacked my Conan game and I’m already looking forward to this! TITANIC!
DAMN YOU BOW! I have to go and back this as well now. Looks amazing!!
How come a tree protects from shooting but a stone pillars doesn’t?
The ruins give you the bonus in melee
Yeah, but they should also hinder missile fire as well, no?
It’s obviously primarily an abstract-ish gameplay thing, but the basic principle is that’s it’s hard to see someone within a forest when standing without, and so a bonus to defending ranged attacks, whilst ruins have uneven ground and make it difficult for someone to attack you up close 🙂
Is this a kickstarter?
@salty not yet, should start on Tuesday, I thought it is mentioned in the weekender.
A few times the boys said that the card were prototypes.. I think they look great as they are shown. I like the round ‘coaster’ style, the size, etc. Not sure what the final product would improve, but I give this design two thumbs up. 🙂
I will looking into it… this game looks like so much fun.
Hope there will be new Gods as Stretchgoal, looking forward to Hermes and Poseidon, and I need Scylla and Charybdis. We also need a Map of the Rhodos Harbour, with the Colossus guarding the Harbour.
Or maybe the Colossus as playable mini 🙂
Looks amazing ….. when is it on Kickstarter….
It’s on Kickstarter on Tuesday, I’m definitely in for this. I received my Conan stuff on Thursday and that blew me away but anything based upon Greek mythology is right up my street.
I like the “how many fours can I build?” dice-jiggering.
Is there a pledge level that includes Leo to sit with your gaming group and explain everything? 🙂 Failing that, a very good set of tutorial missions in the rules would be necessary.
There is an intro scenario in the rulebook which uses set forces (which are a bit smaller), and leaves out a couple of things. The dice mechanic is very quick to pick up. The main issue I had, and it was very minor, was in remembering what the Talents did as they’re listed on the character board but not described, and what the symbols were for the Powers, but when I then played it with a reference sheet it was very easy just to check (kinda like having Leo there lol).
Wow, this game has everything going for it! What strikes me about this is that the mechanics are simple enough but as the guys say, offer the players enough influence to negate it being random chance, it also has the added benefit of using a theme that everyone should have atleast a little knowledge of. Everyone knows atleast one Greek myth, each character is recognisable and the style of the art and miniatures doesn’t take too much artistic licence so you can identify any of these characters at a glance. I didn’t comment on the The Edge: Dawnfall let’s play… Read more »
Have they stated a provisional release date yet?
Wow this game Rocks and it’s another kikstarter and my wallet is almost empty Harrrggg witch one am i going to chose
Just pulled out the Spartan mini from my Conan Kickstarter and it looks really great! Will post a pic once we decide how we are going to paint it.
Wow this game has a lot going for it. Great theme, great miniatures, great gameplay. Kind of a cross between boardgame and tabletop war game. Love it! I just hope the retail minis will look half as good as those.
Those are the pre-production minis so the final ones will be a little better as there’s still a few kinks to work out in the moulds. They’ve obviously been primed to show the detail off under the camera, but that’s essentially what you’re going to get 🙂
