Jacobite Rebellion 28mm range released!

“The Jacobite rising of 1745 was an attempt by Charles Edward Stuart to regain the throne of Britain for the exiled House of Stuart. It occurred during the War of the Austrian Succession when most of the British Army was in Europe. Charles Stuart, known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie" or "the Young Pretender", sailed to Scotland and raised the Jacobite standard at Glenfinnan in the Highlands of Scotland. He was supported by a gathering of Highland clans who promised their men to the cause. The march south began with an initial victory at Prestonpans. The Jacobite army, now in bold spirits, marched onwards to Carlisle, over the border in England. When it reached Derby, soldiers were recalled from the Continent and the Jacobite army retreated north to Inverness where the last battle on Scottish soil took place on a nearby moor at Culloden. The Battle of Culloden ended with the final defeat of the Jacobites and with Charles Edward Stuart fleeing with a price on his head before sailing to France.”

“In many places on Valon when the recruiter beats his drum and promises coin to young men if they will only take up arms and fight for their Kyng or Emperor the response is immediate as the mothers, wives and sisters of these lads cannot stop them.  But not so in the Troll lands for the ladies of Copendaz could bare knuckle box a horse to the ground with ease.  In fact the Emperor Mordred has considered forming regiments of these stony fleshed broads..but he has yet to find the courage to ask them!”

KC1 Coblynau Lesser Goblins (11) 25% off the pack! 

"Lice? Ticks? Vermin? All these words can be used for the Coblynau for that is what they are. The least of the Goblinoid races and the most numerous too. Aye, each on its own is nothing to be feared for a Dwarf in mail, but together...together they are more. Together they can bring a warrior to his knees and then with little blades and sharp teeth end his life. In greater numbers, as a seething mass they can overtake an Ogre and strip it to merest bone and rags. But when they travel in hordes they are as a plague, as a river, that will subsume entire towns if not defeated or driven away with fire or magic. Those learned Men far off call them Lesser Goblins. Our own call them Coblynau. I? Well I call them what they are... bloody dangerous!" 

This code contains eleven different 25mm/28mm white metal miniatures approx 13mm-16mm average height. Great quality, great choice and great value too. Poses in this code are as follows: Five Different Lesser Goblins with Spears and Six Different Lesser Goblins with Swords. 

ORB Orc Rock Band Set 25% off the set! 

"The smell of smoke on the rancid air. The hum of power and the flash of lightening. Screams and chants. Be this battle and the sound of slaughter? No its Spinal Crack and their latest album at full volume. An Orc Rock band from the era before music shattered and collapsed into floppy hair and corporate sound bites. These hard rockers will give you bites for real! A 25mm scale collectors set brought back to life by Alternative Armies.” 

Not everything a wargamer wants has to do with putting troops onto the field. Sometimes something a little different, a bit special makes an appeal to a wargamers nature and says 'I speak to your soul' and the Orc Rock Band is just such a thing. Originally released by Tabletop Games in the early 1980's and now restored to glory. Excellent characters or a superb diorama or just for fun. White Metal except for the Stage which is cast in Resin. ORB0 Rock Band – Complete with Stage (Contains all the parts as per the image shown including the stage).
