Legends of Signum: Battle for Vallor

Create the legend, weave the myth!

Legends of Signum is a skirmish wargame where fight the squads led by the heroes. As the events unfold on the Battlefield, the players build their own Cities which help them recruit characters, use spells and relics and employ cunning tactics. With the numerous factions and diverse strategies, each game is really unique.

Each miniature in this game represents a character with unique fighting abilities. Due to such approach, there are no armies of dull and repetitive dummies in Legends of Signum, each fighter on the battlefield looks original, has some memorable special traits and their own story. Our developer team was going for making an intuitive game from the very beginning. There are no complicated rules in Legends of Signum but neither simple solutions.

The Battle for Vallor campaign gives you a chance to take part in an exciting showdown between two factions: the trading Free City of Vallor, which became a home for many races, and the deeply religious Holy Grypharim Empire, where people have entered an alliance with angel-like creatures from another world. The starting set includes everything you need to master the main rules and game mechanics.

Legends of Signum will immerse you into a fantasy world. There is no distinct line between the good and the evil. Signum is a world that survived a terrible cataclysm which changed the continent and almost killed the gods themselves. But even this catastrophe did not teach  anything proud and vain celestial beings. The world had just been saved, but conflicts exploded with renewed vigor. The gods started their power struggle again, using their loyal adepts and chosen champions.

A confrontation between aroused from the ashes Grypharim Empire and Vallor, the free city that miraculously survived the cataclysm, became the first page in the history of Signum. The young Emperor considers Vallor to be the source of all the misfortunes that have pummeled the world, and he thinks it needs to be purified from abomination. Brissa de Molforn, a warrioress with her own reasons to hate the Empire, took over the leadership of the city defense…
Only you will determine which side will prevail! Enter the battle and create your own legend of Signum!

This happened largely due to the courage and determination of one single person – Roland the Proud. Name Roland received for his contempt for any dangers. For many years he remained the main mentor, a reliable support and protection of the young Emperor Demian. Roland managed to achieve the favour of the queen of grypharims Zenobia. These angel-like heavenly creatures became new allies of the empire. With their support, Roland managed to win over Demian’s main rivals in the struggle for power. The young ruler cannot wait to get rid of the guardianship of the marshal. He announced a new crusade which goal was the Free City of Vallor. At the behest of Demian, Roland himself must lead this campaign. Will the marshal get for the Empire the most freedom-loving city of Signum or will his campaign end up in nothing?

 The game has been in development since 2015, and during this time, game mechanics have been tested, rules have been revised and balance has been extensively worked on. We have already conducted over a hundred test games with all possible combinations of characters and support cards to make sure that we are bringing the best and most balanced version of the game to market.

Two players take part in a Legends of Signum game. Before the game starts both players place their heroes on the Battlefield. You will be able to summon other creatures by constructing the necessary buildings in your City. In order to start the game you will need a battle deck, cards of base buildings and terrain, and a battlefield of 60х60 cm. Building and terrain cards are used to construct the player’s City. The Battle deck includes character, spell, relic and tactic cards. When character cards are played, respective miniatures or tokens replacing them are placed to the Battlefield. Other cards allow players to use artifacts and magic at the battlefield. The game objective is to defeat the opponent’s hero or to achieve the level of prosperity needed for victory — 51 prosperity points. We prepared a video explaining the main concepts and rules of Legends of Signum, so that the game basics are better understood.

Our experienced artists and sculptors created many different miniatures for Legends of Signum. We have been working on various fantasy creatures for many years, and this allowed us to confer a distinctive appearance and character to each miniature. We strive to produce inimitable models, so creation of each miniature was preceded by long-term material collection and discussion, approval of concepts and cooperation with 3D specialists and sculptors. We also developed detailed characters’ stories woven into the general history of Signum world.
All miniatures will be cast from high-quality resin, which allows to achieve the highest level of detail in our miniatures.

The first edition, The Battle for Vallor, offers around two hundred character, spell and tactic cards in total. This will allow the players to compile battle decks suitable for their playing styles for an affordable price. And we do not intend to stop after creating just the two factions. In future, we plan to release such factions as insectile Daishian elves, wolfens and inhabitants of the desert Caliphate.

Development:

High detail: We are not afraid of complicated tasks and choose to create a miniature with many small details. Whether it’s decoration on clothes, details of armor or facial expressions – we pay attention to everything. Materials In our work, we using certified grey resin of “Smooth-On” company from the USA, which required to facilitate the accurate transmission of fine details of any figure. The material of the miniatures is absolutely safe for people, even if you put all the living rooms in the collector’s home with shelves with miniatures.This polyurethane resin has several advantages: Minimal shrinkage. For each 1 mm shrinkage is 0.0065 mm. This is especially true in the manufacture of large and complex miniatures and techniques, because it avoid skewing and cracks during assembly.

Ease of processing. Finished material can be easily cut, sawed, drilled and grinded. It does not crumble, it does not stretch, it does not separate. Any super-glue glues it. Primed and painted without problems.

Strict control: Our products undergo strict control before they go to the consumer. Modern technologies allow to achieve a maximum correspondence of the copy to the original. We are doing everything with responsibility.

Stably high quality: The high quality of our miniatures is a well-deserved pride of our company and we do not intend to reduce the requirements for it. We do not allow the sale of miniatures with «minor» defects and do not intend to do it in the future. This cannot be affected by any external factors. We want to make the name „Legends of Signum“ as a sign of quality throughout the world.

Staff : Our staff are first of all enthusiasts, specialists with many years of experience in casting, modelers and just fans of military-tactical and collectible card games. Therefore, they put their whole soul to work and are interested in creating an interesting and high-quality finished product.

Printed game rules will be available in English. We currently working on the translations into the other languages. All versions of the rules will be released in free access. We are very interested in quality translations and would be glad to receive any help from native speakers.

Risks and challenges

We have been producing high-quality miniatures for the past seven years we’ve been in the market, and we know the entire process of game and product development from top to bottom.
This concerns not only the production of miniatures, but also their delivery around the world.
We are relatively new to the production of printed products, but in 2017, we completely passed all the subtleties of working with a printing house (releasing the game for an internal market for our playtesters). Now we familiar with the entire process of producing a printed game, and are quite of confident that we will not run into any issues.
The delivery time of your pledges will include the necessary time for all these works and a small margin for force majeure, so be sure you will be able to play “Legends” this year.
We will carefully monitor each stage of production. This is our first international project, and we are deeply interested in showing the world our responsible approach and ability to fulfill our obligations.

We will make efforts to adhere to the announced work plan. About each completed stage of the project, we will immediately report here on Kickstarter, as well as on our website and on our Facebook page.

Die Kampagne läuft noch 33 Tage, steht aktuell bei rund 81.000 USD.
