Time Of Legends: Joan Of Arc
We got to sit down and play through some amazing games of Joan Of Arc this week and so we thought it would be great to chat more about the game with Leo of Mythic Games.
This truly is going to be a fantastic new game to delve into and in 15mm! There's plenty explore with many variations on the game and the Fantasy aspects certainly appeal.
Kickstarters
We now take a look at two Kickstarters. However, in a twist one of them finished!
Zealot Miniatures have now fulfilled on their Twisted Catacombs Kickstarter and we take a look at their amazing resin terrain which can be looked at on their webstore HERE and HERE.
As well as that it would be remiss of us to not mention that Blood & Plunder: No Peace Beyond The Line, is now available to back on Kickstarter right now.
Have a great weekend of gaming!

I see the Weekender on YouTube but not linked here yet…

@30:00 minutes Justin and Leo trying to tease out some anticipation as to what the new game is about… “I wonder, please tell us”…
Ignoring that big ****-off picture captioned Joan of Arc behind Leo’s head and now the Weekender banner leading JoA….
I wonder what it could be? 😉
lol that’s my monday entertainment (@dignity ribbing) sorted right there he he
RIBBING
informal
good-natured teasing.
“he took a good deal of ribbing with the utmost good humour”
Just incase anyone thìnks it somthing even more fun 😉
“Don’t blow your beans in one shot!” –@dignity 1:08:00
I take it that’s something that people from NI do?
According to Urban Dictionary “blow your beans” is a bit rude… you know… “climactic”?
To Leo and his colleagues. I’m very excited about JoA and the way you describe it… Looking even further ahead you have to consider a Norse myth version, with the Norse gods on a MB-Pantheon style meets a JoA Viking style with giant trolls and other mythical beasts… They could invade England and encounter the Green Men…
OMG I have to go and lie down at the thought of it…
Man I hope the Fabled Realms stuff is not going to be put behind a paywall! And when is that Demo!!
No its all going out frontstage like 90% of what we create. 🙂
And ‘pay wall’ is not my favourite moniker for backstage… ‘eat avenue’ sounds closer lol 😉
Fair enough….and the demo?
I would say soon 🙂
So are we officially referring to the JoA minis as ’15mmOMG scale’ lol
Well 15mm is obviously still a large scale for me but he’ll the details on some of the JoA minis is stunning… I am so going to get in this game…my poor wallet…lol
This game is one that ‘needs a moment’ once it clicks it just bursts to life in the mind.
Couple of lets plays coming soon
@warzan if the game design works half as well as Mythic Battles Pantheon seems to do so then I think it will be an awesome system. And who can resist a Dragon which has a huge wing span:-)
In the North East of England we have our own tale similar to the hanging of the werewolf by the village. It even has a connection to France to boot…
http://www.thisishartlepool.co.uk/history/thehartlepoolmonkey.asp
Hanging the “French spy” is my absolute favourite moment of historical English idiocy and I’m happy for any reminder.
haha, damn you BoW for fueling my shiny syndrome, just this week you have me excited about Blood and Plunder, Fabled Realms and now Joan of Arc.
3 good picks right there 🙂 lol
Nice to hear that Time of legends will have such a diverse way of playing. I like to have those options depending on what style of game I want to play.
I am sold, one gigantic dragon, I can’t say no to that.
The art looks great.
Sceptical at first but now I’m hooked, I’ll reserve some funds for JoA. Even I want this dragon!
And the prospect of being able to recreate historical battles makes this KS a must for me..
Yeah the Dragon could turn out to be a triumph, wait to you hear some of the game mechanics surrounding it 🙂
That dragon alone is enough to sell the game.
Even if they only manage to make it half the size he mentioned it would be worth every penny.
I’m glad I’m going to have time to fill my reserves, because it looks like I’ll be needing them when this one launches.
I do wonder how they’re going to top that one though, because they’ve already raised the bar once MB is delivered.
Looking forward to Joan of Arc
JoA is definitiv my next big KS… I need this Dragon <3
Joan of Arc looks absolutely amazing. That Dragon is totally awesome, and the only reason to buy the game, if it was not for the other reasons, like beautiful models and a really great sounding game. And terrain…
Will you have off the grid rules? I know several gamers who are a bit anal about playing on a grid and won’t touch something like this, might be an idea so to attract more backers.
I don’t actually have an answer for that. I would prefer they didn’t tbh at least not for the foreseeable future.
The game (even at this early stage) is pretty spectacular and has way too much potential to split resources into another type of system. I will try to find out though.
Seriously though get your friends to sit down with a couple of really good boardgames such as pandemic etc
I gotta say I originally had the same reluctance and dreadball and deadzone (mantic Hewitt Thornton etc) started to change my mind
Mythic battles completely changed it 🙂
Great show and good to watch, but I’m sorry to say that in my opinion the show really lacks something without @warzan. Would have loved to see his reaction to those Grymkin and the great dungeon terrain. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s hobby activity on Hobby Night Live
I completely agree looks like about 70kgs was missing 😉
“Good evening, I’m Ronnie Corbett, one half of the comedy duo ‘The Two Ronnies’.”
“And I’m the other one-and-a-half.”
Paraphrased from memory, still makes me laugh to this day.
lol
I love the historical/fantastical blend they’ve achieved here. By taking the accounts of the day completely at face value, they’ve remained true to history while being able to incorporate the fantastical. It’s a fine line and it seems to me that they’ve really got it right.
Can’t wait for Joan of Arc.
Stop getting Leo on the show!
I thought that I’d had KS fill after MB:P, but Joan of Arc is looking really cool as well. How am going to avoid getting the dragon expansion?! It’s going to be massive even if it was a 28/32mm game, but at 15mm it’s going to be a proper dragon.
Churches, demons and angels, oh my!
I was sold on Joan of Arc when I saw the amazing 15mm minis. Seeing the dragon head/neck sculpt just made me even more excited – an incredible beast. Can I suggest trebuchets and siege towers folks? Plus bombards and petards.
I have never seen 15mm minis so well executed, incredible demonstration of not only today’s technology but the skill of the sculptors to make them still meaningful and beautiful – rescaling 28mm down would not have been effective it’s own.
The thing for me with 15mm is that I don’t really enjoy painting 15mm humans figures – I feel that they are a bit small. When you go down to the smaller scales it’s is usually the other things – tanks, cars, war machines and so on – with this there is realty just a dragon (which could have been the size they are making it without the figures being 15mm) and a few (unspectacular) buildings to show – there was a lot of time devoted to figures (which suggests that the game is going to have a lot of… Read more »
Happy weekend guys.
And lo, Leo did announce a Time of Legends, bringing forth His messanger Joan of Arc. And so it was that 32mm gaming companies were laid waste and gamers impoverished. The time of 15mmOML was upon us.
*messenger
Always loved Joan of Arc, forked out a fair few euros for Infinity limited edition of their own Joan
JARC had that mighty empires feel of GW..back in the day. I wonder is ships will take part for coastal areas and of the channel… got to hold back the french… I also gave me the whole demons and witchcraft of a pc game called darklands…
Darklands review…25 years old..!!!

I wonder if they is a single player element to this…?
I believe it hasn’t been designed with solo play in mind, though as the Mythic Battles: Pantheon KS campaign showed, if there’s interest in solo scenarios then Mythic Games will do them.
That Joan of Arc game has me really really interested. Gonna start saving for the kickstarter right away. I wanna get me a dragon! Can’t believe the beautiful freehand paint job on those shields. Totally blown away by that.
Thanks for a great show. The weekender and Hobby Night Live are becoming my favorite moments of the week/month/year (yeah, go home Christmas! I’m having a cup of tea in my pj, enjoying this instead)
I`m keep my eye out for the planet of the apes game…28mm plastic apes..!!!!
Now there’s a license with promise!
Riddle answer
Take murderer across and come back
Take witness across and leave there but take murderer back across
Leave murderer and take brother over and leave with witness
Go back and fetch the murderer and go across and join the others
JoA looks stunning will be interested to see this hit KS in the Autumn
