Free Patrol Angis scenario: Knight to Remember

"It was the League of Canlaster that made the first moves of the civil war. Taking the five million men of the Gulaine Company of the Prydian Army, which had declared for Bluefort en masse, they forced those loyal to Yordan out of twelve systems including the Kendal system. Meanwhile the priority attack by a Yordan allied fleet upon the emerald green resource world of Dando II took the garrisons there by complete surprise. Two worlds were plunged into battles among those who were once brothers. Although fabricators furiously worked to place the crests and livery of their baronial masters on their armour most still fought in the white and red of the Prydian Army.” - 4320IC. From Patrol Angis

A treat for Ion Age fans and players of Patrol Angis (in 15mm or using the 28mm Ion Age range as more are doing) today with a free small scenario pitting battlesuits against each other at the start of the Prydian Civil War.  

Knight to Remember:  A two page small scenario for two players or solo play in which a lance of Prydian Duxis Battlesuits are taken by surprise on Geolu Prime by two platoons of now Canlastrian Havelock Battlesuits.  Can they escape the trap?  Download from our online storage by CLICKING HERE.  Visit the website for an entire page full of folder download links of Ion Age resources HERE.

You need only Patrol Angis the core game book for this scenario and we wish you good fun with the scenario.  You can see the 15mm Ion Age Range on the website and look for codes IAF030 and IAF020 for these piloted suits.

HOT119 Savage Lizardmen Blades 15mm release

“The Savage Lizardmen are from a barbaric time and live in tribes.  Their armies shake the very ground as they advance.”

Our new release in the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range for this month adds more infantry to the growing army of Savage Lizardmen.  This infantry pack gives you blades to go with spears, warband and polearms.  Great for any game system.

HOT119 Savage Lizardmen Blades. This code contains 10 metal 15mm scale miniatures in the following poses randomly and evenly selected: Lizardman screaming challenge with Sword and Shield, Lizardman advancing with Sword and Shield, Lizardman standing with Sword and Shield, Lizardman issuing challenge with Sword and Shield. As with all HOT 15mm Fantasy codes you can purchase one pack or you can choose a sampler which gives you one of each pose of miniature from this pack; a great way to try or to make skirmish forces with HOT. Each miniature is about 16mm tall and heavily muscled.  Go HERE.

Here are the new blades alongside our Anti Paladins, evil humans in plate armour, on foot and mounted (HOT104 and HOT132) for scale.

The Savage Lizardmen army!  As well as sixteen poses of infantry there is a Behemoth and Lizard Ogres as well as Artillery and the Iganosaur too. See them in battle above against our Giant Slugs from Tabletop Miniatures code 549.  It is our intention to create a HOTT 2nd Edition army for these cold blooded fighters and that will happen once the cavalry and command is in place late in 2021 hopefully.

We respond to customers questions and we act when we can to improve the service we offer.  Alternative Armies was asked if the excellent HOT74 Wraith Lord on Fell Beast could be expanded to offer the beast on its own.  Certainly we could do this and indeed we can also offer it with a choice of riders all taken from HOT36 Wraith Cavalry as they will fit upon it.  Go HERE for the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range.

Savage Dog free in orders and what is coming September 2021 at Alternative Armies

Bartorc stood clutching the torn bloody stump of his left wrist.  His hand was in the mouth of the mass of teeth and coarse fur that was the Pig Dog.  The Orc spoke, his voice quivering with pain to the elderly shop keeping sitting near the busily chewing creature.  “You told me your dog does not bite!”.  The old Elf smiled and nodded before replying.  “I did, I did.  But then this is not my dog.”  How was Bartorc going to load his musket now...one handed.  Bad dog!

September is here!  All this month a free miniature in every package shipped out from Scotland to every customer. You need do nothing but place an order which requires to be shipping anywhere in the world (no Digital Download orders only sorry!) of any size and we will automatically include GRN04 Pig Dog.  As many orders as you want and ends 9am GMT 1st October 2021.  You can also order this code in any amount and you will still get the free one.  Great for 28mm fantasy and for post-apoc settings plus it is great in Flintloque as well.  From the Grinning Skull Range of madness and oddity sculpted by Will Grundy.

As you can see it is a very interesting miniature and would be a great addition to your collection.  Shown with an Orc Dragoon on foot from 54055 for a scale reference.  Go HERE.
