Courage & Prudence Models Previewed For Mythic’s Solomon Kane
May 25, 2018 by brennon
If you were paying attention to Facebook earlier this week we played some games of Solomon Kane which we'll be bringing to you in the near future. We also got to see one of the new models that will be gracing the tabletop and watching over Solomon's shoulder during your games. Here is Courage...
The models that Mythic Games are working on for this game are awesome indeed. Courage is a rather titanic model as well, standing head and shoulders over the rest of the mere mortals you'll be seeing during gameplay.
It's going to be cool to see how people paint these models. I think they'd look great in an almost ethereal style, matching their more lofty position within the game, but you could very easily give them a realistic paintscheme too.
Prudence
As well as Courage we also got to see some images of Prudence from Solomon Kane too. I think I might like this model even more!
That image of her striding forth towards her foes is eerie and powerful indeed! Remember, these are the aspects of Faith that you'll be controlling during your games of Solomon Kane, giving him and his allies boosts and more on the tabletop.
To round things off here is a look at how the models look when compared to a standard figure in the game, truly reflecting their scale!
Are you looking forward to the launch of the Solomon Kane Kickstarter next month?

Would make some great ‘god’ figures in any tabletop game.
I’m seriously looking forward to this game. Glad to hear there will be a Let’s Play coming soon so I can make my mind up before it launches on 12 June. All in is a distinct possibility.
I didn’t really care for this game, until I saw these models.
They look flockin’ amazing.
ever more impressive. all the sculpts so far have been very good.
i’m willing you on with this one but will need to know the medium or to see some examples before i part with the cash, you know me. promise not to bang on about it, but only cos its you guys.
i have high hopes for the game and am intrigued with the narrative twist. bring on the lets play
Augh…. the coiled snake is exactly what kind of base work I was looking to have done for something along the lines of a modified Chaos Warrior to build up as Thulsa Doom. Then again I’m looking at Legion of Everblight from Hordes or an Asian wizard and thinking the same thing for dragon scales. That tears it… better learn Mudbox or the like to sculpt for printing.
I absolutely love these figures. Not sure I’ll get the game because a) I don’t know much about the original books and b) I doubt my house or wife will handle *another* massive Mythic KS 😀
No need to worry, this one won’t be as massive 😉
I still can’t quite wrap my head around the idea of sharing control of Solomon Kane. I am really interested to see a play-through. I love Mythic Battles, and invested a chunk of money in Joan of Arc, so I have a lot of faith in these guys. I have found Jake Thornton’s game design to be a mixed bag, though.
I remain intrigued, hopeful, excited….but still uncommitted.
Take a look at the previous previews. Looks like each player plays their own character, even though the character is *named* Solomon Kane. Sorta like how each player played their own Uncle Wiggly character, if you remember that game. (: Won’t really know until we see more, of course.
Precisely this. Each player directly plays a virtue (like Prudence & Courage pictured above).
I’m loving what I’ve seen of SK so far. Reports about the gameplay so far from the various demos has been really positive. A truly cooperative game, with lots of different tactics for the same scenario. Add to that the exceptionally shiny minis and deep lore, I think we’re in for another MG winner!
stunning looking figures courage could be a great sister of battle.
Those two are great looking minis.
Stunning works! 🙂
I’m a big fan of Solomon Kane, as well as Mythic Battles Pantheon, so this seems like it should be a sure thing for me. The only thing that makes me a bit cautious is the designer. His last game, Dungeon Saga, was kind of an unfinished mess. There were also some aspects of Deadzone 1st edition that felt very unpolished. Hopefully he can pull this one off, cause I’m really a big fan of the IP and Mythic in general!
For DS, Mantic basically promised backers game content that Jake Thorton didn’t want to do, or something to that effect. Dunno about Deadzone, though. Still, I’d put the blame on Mantic more than Thorton (sp). Some discussion of this on BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1582866/worth-it-or-get-another-game
I like the Solomon Kane IP. I am really looking forward to this. I too wonder if my wallet can handle another Mythic Kickstarter. Redben, any more comments on this?
