Solomon Kane has always been one of my favorite fictional characters and I daresay I prefer him to Conan as he feels more relatable to me, both in environment and stature. So when Mythic Games ran a Kickstarter based upon one of my favorite heroes, I had no choice but to jump in with both feet.
Upon reception of Wave one, about two weeks ago, I felt this creeping feeling of dread, upon realising the physical beauty of the contained miniatures, a beauty which I felt very inadequate to do justice to with my meager painting skills. The virtues were especially intimidating, in part because the accompanying artbook portrayed a paint job far beyond my reach. Solomon Kane was shelved for the moment.
Yet, having reached this point in my hobby were too many games were competing for my attention, I decided to submit the list to my youngest son, a 24 year old wooky of a man, who never hesitates to share with me his honest opinion (something I am much thankful for, even though it sometimes bruises my psyche). Upon having the list enumerated, he picked, for some unknown reason, Solomon Kane as the game he would be most interested in next.
