Escape the Dark Czar in metal for Flintloque!

The bitter retreat from Moskova is where you begin your adventure. Take command of General de Brigade Hugo Saindoux and his three fellow survivors as they attempt to evade death and escape from the Witchlands. On their heels are a group of Savant Zombies, the finest Undead in the ranks of the Dark Czar, who are led by Captain Preserovitch. Their task is to capture the golden eagle standard carried by the young Elven drummer boy Ayers Quinte de Toux. Will the survivors outwit the living dead? 

We were asked by long term players and collectors of Flintloque for something a little bit unusual.  We have done this. There was one thing we could do which would be special.  The beginners set for Flintloque titled Escape from the Dark Czar is an excellent value all resin code.  Now you can get the ten miniatures from the 5024 set in metal and as an aside you can also purchase the booklet from the set on its own too.  Go HERE for the metal or read on for more.  Saindoux with weight!

“A blackened and burned land is all that remains of the once thriving kingdom of Pudigrochumsberg the victims of the Ostarian Emperor Klaffenhund’s madness.  In an attempt to gain popularity during the Ferach Revolution the Emperor decided to test his newly uniformed in white and musket armed Dog soldiers against this prosperous nation.  The few ready corps of troops that the  Houndian King Bonio of Pudigrochumsberg could bring to battle were scooped up and binned after a few weeks of campaigning.  Klaffenhund the head of the Yapsburg dynasty would accept no surrender and ordered the sacking of every city in their land and sowed salt into the fields. King Bonio and several regiments escaped and sought refuge with the Elves becoming a small force sworn to destroy the Ostarians at any opportunity.  Some Pudigroan soldiers with  Finklesteiner assistance fight on in their  ravaged country in attempts to dislodge the Ostarians unfortunate enough to be assigned garrison duty in Pudigrochumsberg.” - The Ruined Kingdom of Pudigrochumsberg

Over more than eighteen months this new pack was sculpted one pose at a time by our lead designer Sam Croes beginning with the Midsummer Druidess and ending now with the Weeping Banshee.  Each miniature was given away freely worldwide for a month at a time totaling several thousand miniatures. We realised thus that many will now have the poses they want but perhaps not and perhaps you missed one or want more.

“Ladies of Magic and of Mystery"

Five different 28mm metal and resin female miniatures. Poses in this code are as follows:

FL24-01: Midsummer Druidess (Miniature One).

FL24-02: The Witch Carline (Miniature Two).

FL24-03: Kalene Barbarian Priestess (partially nude) (Miniature Three).

FL24-04: Ice Queen (Miniature Four).

FL24-05: Weeping Banshee (Miniature Five).

Perhaps you have an idea for another pack of miniatures like these as monthly free included?  If you do then we would welcome your input to sales@alternative-armies.com to tell us about it.

If you would like a multitude of 28mm Adventurers and Wizards with a discount in one place then we have that.  See it HERE.
