The Von Rotte Legion free booklet to download for Flintloque and Slaughterloo

In the aftermath of the Severed Ears War the legions of the Von Rotte were exiled from Krautia along with their illustrious leader the Baron Frederick the Ales Von Rotte. Having tangled just once too often with Artur the ruler of Krautia the Baron had little choice but to throw in his lot with the Elves of Armorica. The newly formed Confederation of Finklestein, a loosely tied group of small Dwarven states, welcomed the Von Rotte legions with open arms. Finely drilled infantry, cavalry and gunners were thin on the ground and a general as talented as the Baron was rare indeed. Swearing an oath of fealty to the Elvish Emperor Mordred the Baron was given command not only of his own soldiers but also some of those belonging to the Emperor in his wars against Krautia and Ostaria. - The History of the Baron Von Rotte

The book is in print and as a digital download plus we have a mega bundle with two armies and the book or the armies on their own (with free element bases!) plus packs of bases for Furioso.

Painted in period uniforms by Furioso author Steve Danes (very talented chap!) they look great and it is a pleasure to browse at your leisure. 

We listen to customer feedback and have added new products and options to the Altuos range. You can now select on page to get 'rider only' with all cavalry codes and some cavalry codes give mount choices too. Commanders can be bought on their own as well as in small sets. We have the ability to purchase any of the MRH Horses and the OTH Horses (Ottoman) on their own now. Mix and match and choose who riders which mount in your armies. 

As well as the figure range we have 15mm Buildings designed by Sam Croes which are, as we are told, some of the most characterful and finest there are. These along with five different packs of 15mm walls are all in resin and in new molds this week. All on the first page of the range HERE. 

Featuring large in the The Italian Wars expansion for Furioso the great man Leonardo Da Vinci has his own miniatures in the range on foot and mounted as well as his Tank or Turtle Car which is a great 15mm model and has game rules too. We hope you find something you like in this event and with all these new pictures and more.
