First Look: Witchlands Dogman Line releasing 28th June 2016

“From the multitude of tiny states and petty kingdoms that make up the Confederation of Finklestein regiments of Dogmen were raised and sent to the north.  They began well shod and finely uniformed in clean cloth but after months of marching and the chill their gleam was replaced with a glum realisation of peril.  Picking clothing from the dead and wrapping themselves in greatcoats, as many layers as they could, the once parade ground fresh soldiers were whittled to a skeleton of their former selves in both numbers and appearance.” - From the Uniformation Article. 

Alternative Armies will be releasing next week, on the 28th of June 2016, the next Flintloque pack which can also be used with Slaughterloo.  It may be high summer but it is the deepest winter where these Dogmen are.  Allow me to present to you the first look at 56594 Witchlands Dogmen Line a set of eight different poses sculpted by Elton Waters and added to the Confederation of Finkelstein army page.  These 28mm scale white metal miniatures will be available as a Ten Miniature skirmish pack, a Twenty Miniature unit pack and single Trooper Miniature booster too.  As always the same options will be offered with a Painted and Based addition so that you can purchase your forces ready to use out of the box prepared by our team here in Scotland.

This eight pose set gives you Dogmen Line who can be in the service of the Ferach Empire or in the service of the Army of Ostaria.  Wrapped up to weather the cold they could be retreating from the Undead in the Witchlands or simply be in campaign dress elsewhere on Valon in the autumn or winter.  There is an officer whose cloak is whipping out behind him, sword in hand and pistol in the other hand.  A diminutive musician holding a drum and wearing a woollen hat.  In greatcoat and shako a standard bearer clutching his pole tight.  A hooded sergeant with a short halberd.  Four different troopers all armed with muskets while wearing greatcoats, one is loading, another in a woollen hat is firing, another is marching with his musket slung on his shoulder and lastly in bicorne a trooper advancing valiantly.  This is a great skirmish set packed with character which will rank up just fine into a Slaughterloo line unit.  Here are images of all of the poses:

There will be a free Uniformation article as a PDF at the same time as the release of the miniatures.  It will contain some background (a paragraph of which you enjoyed at the top of this posting) along with rules and stats for game use and more.  The download link will be posted for this.

If you would like to be added to our mailing list just email us on enquiries@alternative-armies.com heading 'add me' and we will add your email address to our Mailchimp list.

Giant 28mm Troll coming later in June with release offers!

On Tuesday 21st June Alternative Armies will be releasing with offers a brand new giant monster into the 28mm High Fantasy range.  This monster will be a Giant Troll suitable for use with an Orc, Goblin or otherwise evil army in any wargame system.

Designed by the Alternative Armies studio and cast in high quality grey tone resin it will be a multiple part kit which once assembled will stand at just over 100mm tall.  The first castings are now coming out of the molds and it is looking superb! What is more every Giant Troll will be supplied with a 50mm square base and an exclusive free resin 28mm Orc veteran warrior worth 2.00GBP!  Shown in the above image.

You can see our Orc and Goblin high fantasy range on our website HERE and our Monsters and Creatures range HERE.  The new Giant Troll will appear on both these pages as well as our Limited Time Offers page too.   We are really excited about this big kit and we wanted to give you access to the concept art and also details of the coming release offers.

Giant Troll Concepting

When Alternative Armies began the re-molding and re-releasing of our huge classic high fantasy 28mm range part of the conversation concerned what we would do once we have accomplished that lofty goal.  While the work is ongoing with the CA Adventurers, Halfings and Wizards codes now on the website and next up the FL code structure we began with the Dwarves (DH) and the Goblinoids (OH) and these are all on the website in their white metal glory. So once the OH codes were all out we wanted to add to it with something new and what do Orcs and Goblins 'love' more than anything else...it has to a Troll!  Not just a Troll but a ruddy big one because as we wargamers know Trolls can grow elastic like to great heights.  Sam Croes sketched out a design that melded the newer medium of resin with the golden age style of miniatures.  Thus a Giant Troll about 100mm tall with distended belly, ropey muscled limbs, warty nose and bad teeth was created.  Goblinoids hate Dwarves and rightly so meaning that our Troll would adorn himself with spoils of fighting them.  Known for eating virtually anything the gruesome feature of a recently killed Man in full armour tied to his belt was included. A Giant Troll to be a central feature of an army or focal point of a skirmish scenario.  I think we have met the ambition of growing Alternative Armies OH range successfully with a new model such as this.  If 'Durzum Dwarf Killer' (nice name eh!) is successful we may well create further big monsters.  I felt as I always do that my own style of wargaming and that of Alternative Armies favours durable miniatures and easy assembly as I, as many wargamers also are, am not a skilled modeller.  Complexity should be kept to a minimum required.  Lastly we agreed that such a large monster deserved an additional freebie included for fun.  Wargaming should be fun after all. We present to you our 100mm tall giant troll.

Above you can see the sprues and pieces which make up the Giant Troll kit including the base and the free Orc veteran warrior.  They are laid on a square centimetre grid to give you an idea of the size of the pieces.  An easy to assemble and durable kit.  As you can see OH31 Durzum Dwarf Killer is wearing armour composed of scavenged or won parts of a Dwarven Golem war machine.  In fact parts of our own DH15 Dwarf Runic Golem!  Durzum is a fine enemy for the double axe wielding magic construct we released back in November.  You can read about this popular model on our blog HERE.
