Dark Iron Studios Show Off Painted Solomon Kane Miniatures
March 1, 2018 by brennon
Seb Lavigne of Dark Iron Studios shows off some more of the painted miniatures from Solomon Kane, the new board game coming to Kickstarter this year from Mythic Games.
Leading the way we have a look at the lead of this particular game, Solomon Kane himself. You'll have seen this miniature in the promotional photos for the game and he does look every bit the dark and deadly Witchhunter. You will also have seen his quarry, this ghostly wraith that has been summoned to life by dark forces.
Seb has done some amazing work on this model and considering his work on Joan Of Arc it's no surprise that we're seeing him putting paint to model this time around as well. However, the awesome miniatures don't stop there.
Peasants, NPCs & More
As well as these key figures it also looks like we're going to be seeing some non-player characters making their way into the mix with civilians like this fellow here...
One would assume that he has been caught by some dangerous creature, maybe the ghoulish wraith above, and is running for his life. It's neat that the game is going to get miniatures to represent these particular elements of the game rather than just tokens.
We also have this chap that sprung up from the gallery of images Seb shared...
I don't know enough of the background behind Solomon Kane but something tells me that this fellow is meant to be someone rather important in the story. Kitted out as he is I'd assume he's going to be playing a part in the unfolding narrative.
As well as adventuring around in Europe there's also the challenge of quests in other countries. Solomon Kane will be visiting deepest, darkest Africa and encountering the Tribesmen of the region.
Not to mention, wild animals are also a hazard out there in the wilderness like this monstrous ape. Well, I say monstrous; it's probably a regular sized gorilla...it's just exceptionally terrifying.
What do you think of the models we've seen so far for the game?

Those are really good.
Figures are nice, let us get some more info about the actual game play.
Great mini’s and paint. That ghost thingie could actually work as a water elemental.
I like the ghost. I really like the stepped up undead figures you see from GW too, in this style. More than just the old standing skeleton or floating sheet that they used to be in the 90s.
The ghost is pretty mind blowing. Solid minis with beautiful painting, reminds me of Rackham’s style
Fabulous looking models love the element.
that’s some mighty brush work and the miniatures are looking pretty good so far as well.
This looks so cool. They have matched the aesthetic I like from the old Marvel comic series. I’m definitely in but it will need to be much later in the year. Batman and Harry Potter are going to clear me out.
Wow. Love that gorilla…
I pretty much love all monkey/ape miniatures tho…
As good as the paint jobs are, I’m not really digging any of them. They all seem washed out, imo. The palette(s) used seem rather bland and faded. They may look more realistic, but blend into whatever terrain surrounds or supports them.
I think the paint jobs are great. The blends, the colours.. this is what I call the “french painting style”.
The sculpts on the other hand are looking pretty average.
I mean JoA brought something to the 15mm scale, and the whole legendary angle was great.. these look like any other 32mm.
Could be that this scale has been done so much and is so saturated with various miniatures that these sculpts don’t really stand out.
Love the Minis.
