Grey Alien Arachnid Suits eight new 15mm releases

Striding across the landscape come the Greys in their six legged suits (spiders on Zeta Reticuli are six legged..we are the odd ones out on Earth).  Towering above their subjects and enemies the speed and terror which Arachnid troops bring make them something to be respected when the death rays start a shooting!  

Two new packs and a special single pose choice list added to the HOF 15mm Science Fiction Range and the Grey Alien Army.  Following up on last months Lift Disc Riders and also the four new packs of infantry the Greys keep on growing.  From the mind of veteran wargamer Fred Richards in partnership with Alternative Armies.  Go HERE for the range or HERE for a narrower result of all the Grey Aliens.

HOF162 Grey Alien Arachnid Soldiers: A pack containing four different metal miniature kits.  Arachnid Suits with six posable legs holding up a Grey Alien with control back pack.  Grey Alien with Neuro Flayer Rifle (A), Grey Alien with support size Death Ray (B), Grey Alien with Energy Rifle held across his chest (C) and Grey Alien with Energy Rifle lowered (D).

HOF163 Grey Alien Arachnid Command: A pack containing four different metal miniature kits.  Arachnid Suits with six posable legs holding up a Grey Alien with control back pack.  Grey Alien with Pistol (A), Grey Alien with Tracker (B), Grey Alien with Comms Gear (C) and Grey Alien with Scanner (D).

Free Flintloque Micro Scenario for your free Tree Demon this month

“Branches clumped and wend together into arms with reaching wooden fingers.  It towered over the Dogman and as the tree moved its trunk split into an opening mouth.  Van Barkin stumbled as he moved backwards but training took over and he brought his carbine around and aimed at the tree. With a sharp bang and a thump the lead ball smacked into the tree and the other Dogmen woke with a start.”

It is my pleasure to present a micro scenario for Flintloque players that ties into the free model in every order this month from Alternative Armies.

Stick it to the Dogs – Micro Scenario: Becoming lost in the spooky forest a section of Pudigrochumsberg Dogmen awaken to find that a Tree Demon, a monster of Wylde Magicke, has decided to destroy them for entering its domain.  A two page PDF which you can download from our website storage by CLICKING HERE.  See all the free files we have on our FREE DOWNLOADS page.

While it is the 56588 Rache Carabiniers who feature in this scenario it will work well with any small section of troops if you prefer to use Elves or Orcs for instance from your collection.  Monsters are rare during the Mordredian Wars but Valon is a strange world and they do crop up.

55011 General Bardaghul for Flintloque and Slaughterloo

“It was in the deep sewers and crypts that he realised there was something special to his mind.  Among the other ghouls that rove under the streets of Moskova he seemed rare in that he could control his urges.  While others tore at the rotting meat that fell from above he held back.  This had him noticed by a K.G.B Liche who ordered his attending Zombies to drag the ghoul into the snow bound light.  Assuming his end was neigh Bardaghul silently awaited a blade or bullet.  Instead he was taken in front of the Dark Czar himself....”

Now in a new mold this code has not been seen for many years and returns with a new information article for Flintloque and Slaughterloo players.   I give you General Bardaghul favoured Ghoul of the Dark Czar.  Get this pack HERE and see the whole Witchlands Army HERE.

A lovely miniature mounted on an Undead Horse perfect for leading the Kryptovski Death Guard or being part of your Witchlands forces.

Uniformation – General Bardaghul: A one page article containing background as well as Flintloque and Slaughterloo game rules and uniform details for this character. Hosted on our server download this PDF by CLICKING HERE.

Get into Flintloque beginning with 5024 Escape from the Dark Czar set which contains ten resin 28mm miniatures as well as a booklet of core game rules, characters and three scenarios plus bases and dice.  A great way to enter the Witchlands and the retreat from Moskova.

HOF Fire Team 15mm rules and loads of free files online

Back in 2012 myself and Bob Minadeo published a wee rules set for 15mm scale grid based skirmishing with neat mechanics and generic setting (though it came with three settings included).  Recently Alternative Armies has had a fair bit of interest in the game which is long out of print but is a paid for digital download (at 20% less than print price and including all the terrain tile sets for free now) and for the free files made for HOF Fire Team.  Go HERE for the rules.

HOF Fire-Team is a dynamic tactical grid 15mm game with a setting from ultra modern to the far future. Fire Team pits squads of soldiers, guerrillas, police, and thieves or just about anyone else with a grudge against one another. Use miniatures on single bases add any new ones of your choice as it is generic. Players command a number of Teams. These being Fire Teams, Support Teams, Command Teams and trusting to sound small unit tactics and the luck of the dice they attempt to carry out their mission objectives. 

Using the 'tech level' generic aspect of the rules you can field any miniatures you want.  Create any setting you wish.  Three settings are included. The Ion Age - Prydia Aflame (Muster and Retained fight in a bitter civil war for the future of the Prydian Precinct while the shadow of the Khanate ever looms), The Pan Galactic Empire (A vastness of human and alien life in constant struggle in a galaxy that is rich with resources, planets and conflict) and Argo Cities of the Teeming Future (The Earth teems with seething billions all housed in cities hundred of kilometres wide.  The law is harsh and mutants and cyborgs walk among us. Keep the Peace...if you can).  See the HOF Range for suitable figures.

CLICK HERE to download a zip file of free additional PDF's for the game including advanced rules and a scenario. Craig over at ORCS IN THE WEBBE has put all of the former Barking Irons magazine scenarios, solo play rules and more for HOF FT up to read. Released in 2012 there are independent articles and reviews online for this game HERE for Rob Alderman's video review on Youtube and HERE for Dropship Horizon Blog and its interview about the game.  Note when released this game was from 15mmcouk which was and is a part of Alternative Armies.

TOR17 The Guillotine re-mastered and released

We are continuing our project to bring classic ranges back to the world and this time we present the last of the commonly available 1980's Torture Chamber 28mm codes; the Guillotine.  As with all the other codes in this range it contains adult themes and single pieces from packs can be had on the page for that code.  Go HERE.

TOR17 The Guillotine. This pack contains all the 28mm metal pieces needed to assemble a guillotine as well as a resin platform for the machine to stand upon (eight pieces in total) and two other pieces those being the Executioner and the Victim. There is also a severed head in a bowl which can be placed as pleased.  When build the machine of death is 90mm tall and stands 30mm wide. 

Here are views of the models as you can see it is a rather special piece.  Great for fantasy or historical settings in wargaming or diorama (The Terror anyone?). The machine itself can fit any kneeling victim or it can be left without one; make your choice while assembling. The Executioner is standing next to a ground borne lever which will drop the blade.  The victim is a bound and kneeling nude woman.  A bowl contains a severed head.  You can have the machine on its own, or the executioner, the bowl or the victim select your option on page HERE.

We have now completed all of the released codes from this range.  There are a few more releases to come later this year which will be codes never before seen and have been dormant in molds for nearly forty years!
