The Icon free any scale terrain piece in all orders until 3rd October and news

We bid goodbye to the any scale Devilish Imps which were our ‘hella hot’ three month summer giveaway in orders (they join all the previous gifts in the Formally Free Codes pages) and welcome the new and totally free model put in all shipped orders.  Until 3rd October 2024 put in your package automatically (you can purchase it as well and still get a free one) we present The Icon!

The only rule is that your order must be shipped anywhere in the world (no digital download only orders sorry) and it can be as many orders as you wish.  When we say free we mean it.

Above you can see the smallest of the three sizes of the new Icon in the green lands of Erin (with CM10-02 Amergin the Druid) it is this smallest of the three sizes of the Icon which is free auto in shipped orders.  We have now released the entirety of brand new VNT54 The Icon.


VNT54 The Icon:  Carved from ancient stone by hands unknown or not of this world the Icons have glittering gems upon them and strange markings and patterns.  Perhaps a vanished race of men or those from under the seas or the stars made the Icons.  Great any scale battlefield terrain.  Choose from a set of all three or singles or a value pack with saving.  Single piece models in high quality resin as follows giving total height and width across the base of the model.

VNT54-01 The Small Icon (Free Auto in orders until 3rd Oct 2024) is 30mm tall and 15mm across.

VNT54-02 The Medium Icon is 70mm tall and 30mm across.

VNT54-03 The Large Icon is 90mm tall and 45mm across.


Perhaps your brave Milesian Warband has come across these Icons left by the Sidhe?  Perhaps they are high chaotic and your Star Mercs have met them on an alien world?  Or have your Adventurers found them in a glade which steams with powerful magics? 

We show the three sizes of Icon with miniatures so you can set them on your table.  CA7 Classic Fighter in 28mm scale and HOT138 Dwarf Handgunner in 15mm scale for the smallest Icon. The Medium Icon has 28mm CM17-03 Cu Chuliann hero of the Celts and a Tiger Combat Walker from the 6mm Bradley Sci-fi rangeCA1-01 The Magical Youth sits next to the Large Icon and a 15mm scale IAF118 Jade Ape Battlesuit of the Xin from The Ion Age on its other side.


What is coming soon at Alternative Armies?

During the time that VNT54-01 Small Icon is free in orders we will have quite a few releases and restored codes brought back to metal life.  On top of this we will have a couple of hobby related articles.  Firstly we must tell you that the third book in the Patrol Angis series The Khanate Return has sold out its print run. Worry not it will be back in stock in the coming weeks.  We will also have new stock of the Ion Age Posters which have been anticipated.  Produced on high quality paper as before.

The 28mm Ion Age Range will see Espaten Portable Weapon Platform variants to go with the gun teams and also the total release of all Shia Khan portable weapon platforms plus gunners and motive unit so loads of stuff.  We have a 15mm Tabletop Miniatures creature from the 1980’s to follow up on the Hydra and Black Dragon.  Finally of the biggest metal models of the Asgard Fantasy Monster Range will be back after decades away...a big boy indeed.   News on each of these as they happen.

Thanks for Reading!
