I just arrived home from work and was greeted by my wife with the words „There is a box for you...neither the postman nor I wanted to carry it inside!“

Without getting an email I received my pledge of the Joan of Arc KS...and boy does it look good...the terrain is ace, the minis even or especially the individuals look simply great and the monsters while maybe a bit too large are great, too.

Has anyone else already received it? I’ll post some pictures especially comparisons with my 15mm Arthurian project once the chores and the baby let me.

Only have the basic pledge - three boxes of stuff, as I thought "ok its 15mm I have not tried that scale anything"

Got it a couple weeks ago in fact beyond a quick peak, no time. work and other stuff.

But just that is three big boxes of really stunning plastic etc.

Mythic really done another cracking KS, I really wish I could have gone all in.

Still there's enough there already to get on with for sure.

You'll be able to grab whatever you want on ebay... just wait a few weeks for the regret purchasers to start listing.

Received mine 2 days ago, also before the tracking updated, it really was a VERY big box  ::)

I am SO glad I pledged for this, always a bit of a risk backing a big ambitious game like this but at first inspection of it all it looks like they have delivered above my expectations. (almost wish i had backed at a higher level, but the basic pledge is still a ton of stuff)

The quality of the casting looks to be better than I expected. I am working on the alternative armies resin 15mm fantasy buildings atm and quality seems comparable with the JoA buildings and the scale is a good match!  :D The normal human sized minis look good (better than some older metal 15mm manufacturers by a mile, possibly not quite as good as the best modern metal 15mm)-Very impressive for plastic at this scale.
The bigger monsters could almost pass for low/mid end resin at first glance , though they are maybe lacking a little detail which I think is as much the digital sculpts as the material, still very impressive.

I backed this originally for the miniatures and I reckon that was a pretty damn good deal, with the terrain, board tiles, the monsters and what seems at a first scan to be a very interesting and in depth game I am pretty excited to have a proper sit down with this tomorrow, the fusion of board game/rpg/wargame mechanics certainly looks intriguing...

I may report back with pics...

Here is one of my favorite pieces so far. A neat catholic church. Maybe a bit too elaborately decorated, but anyway, it’s a great sculpt. And was sorely missing in my collection.

Another lovely sculpt. A waggon transporting barrels.

Some things don’t work 100% here. I’m not sure whether such wagons wouldn’t have spoked wheels in the middle ages, but having been doing research on prehistoric wheels for years I can agree that disc wheels might have been used still for heavy duty...so it’s okay...ish.
The yoke is nice but looks a bit too primitive, also the connection to the draught pole.

Anyway. A very nice model.

A „Turkish“ knight...not sure what to think of it. Sculpt is nice, and he’ll gonna be a lovely Sir Palomides in my games, but not sure why from all models in the world they included Turks in a Joan of Arc game...
