UPDATED! Joan of Arc £666k Stretch Goal Exclusive From Mythic Games
October 17, 2017 by thisisazrael
The team at Mythic Games have been paying close attention to all the feedback from their community and backers of the Time Of Legends: Joan of Arc campaign after the release of The Beasts of Revelation stretch goal, as there were some mixed views on the sculpted design.
While the sculpt was not unanimously welcomed, one thing was for certain though; the art for The Beast was incredibly well received.
So the Mythic Games team has listened to your feedback and, in under 24 hours, have gone back to the drawing board and released this epic new concept art!
I feel like this new design really captures the ferocity, wingspan and truly massive proportions of The Beast really well indeed.
I must admit I'm really happy to see companies taking on feedback at any time but to see it received and turned around so quickly was really epic.
What do you think of this new concept?
Original Post
Time Of Legends: Joan of Arc from Mythic Games is powering through stretch goals and now, at the time of writing, only £40k away from the magical £666k funding point!
"Why is 666 magical Az?" you may ask.
Well, we all know the number of the beast and BoW have got an exclusive reveal of the amazing treat backers will get for reaching this goal!
Say hello, to the BEAST OF REVELATION!
Every single core box is going to get The Beast added for free!
That's alongside 93 other miniatures included from the stretch goals so far, also free for backers.
As you might expect, The Beast is part of the Unholy Army for the game.
"He’s a giant, flying, multi-headed emissary of Evil who will require many angels or a small army to stop". Says it all really.
For anyone familiar with Mythic Battles Pantheon, Léo let us know that The Beast is bigger that Atlas..... the titan.
Here you can see how he stacks up beside some of the 15mm scale miniatures.

Would you side with the unholy Beast or it's Angelic nemeses to take him down?
"He’s a giant, flying, multi-headed emissary of Evil who will require many angels or a small army to stop"
I was expecting the devil himself to be at this stretchgoal.
However leave it to these guys to dig out something special.
Here’s an interesting titbit :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_115
The number of the beast may be ‘616’ instead of the ‘666’ that we have assumed it would be.
If I remember rightly some years ago route 666 was renamed route 616 .Which is kind of ironic
We already have the Devil
It could be both and still mean the same thing. The likelihood is 666 has an extra letter in it.
@hithero : I know we already had the big dude.
I wasn’t expecting there to be anything more *eh* demonic in hell than the big boss himself.
This looks like fun to paint… and Hell to defeat 🙂
(un)Holy crap 😀 . That is one big beasty. This KS goes from strength to strength, as will Mythic if their KS continue like this one and MB:P .
awesome bananas this is looking fab 🙂
have the Iron Maiden song in my head…lol
@commodorerob revelations or number of the beast, sign of the cross could work as well…?, unfortuatly for saga its song is invaders, but thats better than kingdom death as it gets quest for fire…. Think this may well be a game in my oft contemplated “maiden campaign” where game is dictated by maiden album artwork and song title dictates scenario….
Meh! — its okay. There are other representations that I believe would have been better. Regardless, it is cool looking.
Free? Awesome!
Sculpt is not my cup of tee…but something this hugh to add for free…wow!
But one thing to add guys…and that is more Mythics “fault”…giving “exclusive” details outside the KS sooner then to the backers…not a good thing in my opinion!
Looks pretty strange.
At first I thought this was a giant bear with a lot off heads but then I saw the other pictures.
Looks horrible, good job it’s free as I wouldn’t buy it.
Liking the dynamic of the beast, but I’m just not that keen on the head sculpts.
” It was like a leopard, with feet like the feet of a bear, and had a mouth like a lion.”
Odd looking Beastie.
The painted artwork on Update 16 give us another perspective. I would hate to be his dentist 🙂

I think if you’re a dentist to this dude then you’re set for life … 😉
My first impression of it was a gigantic flying polar bear hydra. Terrifying, eh @warzan ?
Got to be honest. It looks bloody terrible.
It’s brilliant that backers are getting it free but I have to wonder how many would have actually bought it if it wasn’t.
Cool addition to the box. Although I find the sculpt for the beast a bit too blunt. I would have preferred something a bit closer to the old depictions.
Except 616 is the number of the beast! Just ignore my usual pedantry!
666 is much better attested, but they both mean the same thing.
pedantry on numerology is as much use as debating the historical accuracy of mystic megs predictions…
Well posed. Tail is up high enough that it won’t block other models. Seeing some hate on the model here, but it looks well sculpted and looks appropriately devilish to me. This is going to be one expensive game when all is said and done, but the value in added miniatures is going to make it hard not to go all in.
Looks like a bag of dicks.
Glad to see that on the latest update the good people at Mythic Games have decided to change the design of this creature, the new one looks much better to me personally. The original looks like Fozzy Bear on acid 🙂
Yea the new concept is looking great 🙂 Really awesome to see feedback being constructively received. Az
Muppets on Acid is the KS I never knew I needed….
Well, that’s totally blown me away. I await the render with much excitement and anticipation.
New beast looks awesome
+100 to Mythic for the effort and listening to their backers. I back them even I never play the game.
I also agree that the new design while not reprehensive of classic description of the beast, I like it way better than the first. I would be willing to purchase the new sculpt separately now even if it was not free.
The new concept looks a heck of a lot better than the last one. Will need to see the render to be sure but lets hope it doesn’t look like it has a neck full of giant man members and turns out just as good as the drawing.
It’s awesome to see Mythic taking on feedback for a free model though.
The concept art looks more like the art of the Beast and if they can pull it off to make the model like that, then go for it.
The pose of the new concept art looks a lot better. If you get the proportions right on the sculpt it’s a winner. I still feel you could do something with the heads, maybe along the lines of Albrecht Durer:
Although they might be a bit derpy to modern standard I can’t get away from the appeal of the pointed snouts and bulging eyes.
