Time Of Legends: Joan Of Arc Now Available On Kickstarter
October 11, 2017 by brennon
Time Of Legends: Joan Of Arc is now live on Kickstarter from Mythic Games, taking you down to their legendary scale as they introduce both Historical and Fantastical clashes from the Hundred Years War.
A word from the guys at Mythic about Time Of Legends...
"In Time of Legends: Joan of Arc, all the creatures that the medieval people thought were real, are real. Whether they are represented on tapestries, in stained glass windows, or in illuminated manuscripts, we take them at their word. It is this dark and epic universe that you will explore in the game’s many scenarios.
Some are historical, with no taint of the whispered legends of strange creatures. Others are replete with the supernatural or (saints preserve us) demonic."
The game is played in both scenario and battle mode where the two sides, the English and the French, clash in a number of different conflicts which reflect both stories and major battles between both sides.
In the scenario based games you will be following a narrative chain as you uncover the secrets of witchcraft and evil happening in the land whilst also dealing with deadly beasts. Battle mode switches this up and has the two sides clashing in an epic foray.
Models & Factions
As you might imagine there are two sides to the conflict here and they break down into the English...
...and the French. Most, if not all of the characters that you see here are actually based on real Historical people and have just been given a more epic Fantastical edge to them on the tabletop.
I think that while I feel like I should be a stalwart supporter of England in this scrap I can't help but enjoy the look of the French characters that are on offer. As well as these characters you will be fielding all manner of troops, knights, monsters and more.
Some of them might come from both the Holy side of the coin...
...or the Unholy side that fights for the Devil himself. Would you rather have Saints or Sinners on your side?
There is plenty more to choose from and delve into when it comes to this campaign and the main pledge is already exploding with awesomeness. You can see why the game has already surpassed its main funding goal and moved on towards plenty of stretch goals in the meantime.
Stretch Goals, Exclusives & Add-Ons
As you might imagine with a campaign like this there is plenty of fun stuff to throw into the mix as well as what you get in the main pledge. For example, here we have the models for Gog & Magog which are two giants you can throw into the mix for your games.
Of course, there's also the utterly epic Joan Of Arc Dragon which would be fantastic for 15mm, 28mm and well...any scale.
That truly is impressive. Away from that though, simply the basic components in the game are top notch including their wonderful 3D terrain which can be used on the game board to add another level of enjoyment to your games.
Basically, what we're saying is that you need to head on over to their Kickstarter campaign and have a look for yourself to see if this game takes your fancy. There is a LOT to get your head around when it comes to all the wonderful miniatures and more but it's worth it.
Will you be backing this?

Managed to get in an early bird pledge, can’t wait to see where the stretch goals go. Blasted through a few already.
I wish Mythic all the best with this. The scale isn’t for me but I do appreciate what they’ve done here. I also think for the price $120 you get alot of bang for your buck.
It looks amazing game. I am going to go in for the dragon. It’s a beautiful model amongst beautiful models.
Dragon, shmagon. Bring on the Devil!
I’m in. The total is steadily working towards 400k and unlocking the bear tamer and his bears 😀 .
50 cm wingspan according to the developers in one of the comments …
That’s a flocking huge dragon even when posed next to 28mm figures.
It’s kind of cool that you can pledge at the minimum level so you’re not forced to buy the game just to get that beast.
Absolutely holding out hope i get tojump on the band wagon on this. Everything about it just makes me think it will a new staple game for me.
Backed, looking forward to this one.
Really looking forward to seeing what type of troop / characters emerge for the Holy and Unholy armies 😀 .
I have backed this and will probably go all in 🙂
Backed, added The Dragon and wish they could speed up with add-ons and faster SG announcements – yes, bilingual slows matters etc so I just have to be patient. Looking forward to Leo live – gonna ask for the Dragon every time and I wonder if they have a 3-up version like they did with Poseidon – now that would be hilarious (and I want one)
oh god yes …. a 3up
Backer number 1032 here. I thought I’d got the early bird as I clicked through successfully on the website but got the dreaded email from KS saying the reward I’d selected was no longer available. Doh!
I have a personal rule not to back two projects from the same company until I have the first in my hands, but Leo’s personality and BoW convinced me otherwise. Damn you, just take my soul along with all my money!
A nice big Dragon for 15mm and 28mm gaming – excellent. I do like the stuff these guys turn out.
Over 600k now, the latest add-on was unveiled, called ‘ Legendary Battles ‘, to expand on the Battle Mode with 3 scenarios to fight historical battles plus all the mini’s needed to add to your chosen force.
