Less than 70 hours remain in this Kickstarter for Albion's Legacy which is an Arthurian Legends board game and contains paintable metal miniatures.
They are fully funded and moving towards some awesome stretch goals.
Very US & European friendly with no customs fees and favorable exchange rates as it's a Canadian company who is doing it.
Better get on it quick before it's too late!
Yeah, this looks really good. I do like the EU friendliness & the good Canadian dollar to £ exchange rate. The mini's also look superb - even if I just couldn't persuade myself to get in on Minx's resin KS.

Looks nice, although I think they should have gone either with a more abstract movement system, or something resembling Catan with solid borders. Or perhaps a hex map of Britain with area-based random tiles added on top of it?
Now Camelot is far bigger than the rest of the board, and there might be Tintagel or Dozemary Pool right outside the city, thanks to the random placing of tiles.
Or the tile you just scouted might go to another section of the board, which would be no problem in a more abstract system; in this game it feels odd and IMO also interferes with the movement/scouting rules (i.e. you can't scout ahead unless you move on to the tile... which is now on the other side of Camelot?).
It might add replay value, unpredictability and randomness to the game -- in the same way 'Betrayal at House on the Hill' does (and it has clearly been a major inspiration to the designers), but it feels... weird, because I know where these places should be. In a more generic adventure game this would be fine, now it's a bit awkward.
Anyway, otherwise this game looks very, very solid. Good and easy mechanics with lots of really nice and thematic ideas, for example breaking your armor or weapons for health. The artwork seems very professional. I would absolutely play this game! :)
