CA7 Classic Fighters three remastered 28mm fantasy miniatures

"It is as you climb the final stair case that you look back over your shoulder. It was not in the town not in the Inn that you noticed. It was not in the woods when the Goblins attacked that you saw. Not in assaulting the Dark Summoner in his castle that you realised amid his minions and their spraying blood no. It is as you climb the final stair case and face the door behind which evil resides waiting that you look back and realise now is the time. The Fighter steps forward muscles rippling and jaw set tight. This is his task, his destiny. He will go through that door and emerge triumphant or not at all!”

Three 28mm miniatures from our High Fantasy range sculpted in the 1990's and now re-mastered in new molds and back on the website.  New painted versions to see as well.  Go HERE for the Adventurers and Wizards collection.  Choose from the pack or single poses from the pack in any quantity; all on screen.

Armoured Fighter, Cloaked Fighter and Gladiator...

This re-release follows on from the restoration of CA6 Deadly Foes for a total of six miniatures sculpted by Kev White back in the early 1990's.

Legion de Nain and Uhlan codes remastered and expanded for Flintloque

Back in the 1990's there were not many packs of Dwarves for Flintloque and while in the late 90's the choice expanded greatly it was still less than in the case of Armorican Elves or Orcs of Albion.  The Bier Wars project alongside the previous Von Rotte Legion 2014 expansion is changing all that.  There are a huge number of new Dwarves coming to Valon.  

Last month we released the new Legion de Nain Line and now in May we have new mounts for the Dwarves and we see the return of all of the classic packs for the Legion de Nain in new molds.  These slot in perfectly with the new miniatures for players, fans and collectors alike.  Here they are all remastered and expanded with a new foot officer too.

52004 1me Legion de Nain:  Four Dwarf Infantry with muskets.  Go HERE.

52005 1me Legion de Nain Command:  Three Dwarf command group now with new foot officer replacing the mounted officer now a single code.  Go HERE.

52005D Confederation Dwarf Officer on Pony:  Bare headed Dwarf great for any force.  Go HERE.

52512 Finklestein Dwarf Line:  This unit code is for Slaughterloo or large games of Flintloque with a saving off twenty miniatures made up of codes above.  Go HERE.

52007 Uhlans Von Krautia:  Two identical lance armed Dwarfs now mounted on the new Pummilig Pig.  Go HERE.

This is the second of three updates for May 2021 concerning Flintloque and Dwarfs of the Confederation.  See the first on new Pig, Boar and Dodo mounts HERE.  In the third update it is the turn of the Gunners and off a singled out Dwarf Messenger code as requested by players.

Imperial Commander battle level in the Laserburn universe returns

Now back in print a new run of the classic battle level rules in the Laserburn universe written by the late Richard Halliwell.  Imperial Commander in stock at Alternative Armies alongside Laserburn and Advanced Laserburn books.  Go HERE for the range or read on.

Squad level using army lists for Imperial, Redemptionists, Law Officers and others at about fifty figures a side.  While meant for 15mm scale it can be used in other scales with ease.  A thirty two page book which comes with two separate card sheets for quick reference and blast markers.  A 'classic title' re-print in A4 upsized from the 1981 original A5 booklet. In print only and no digital download version.

Easy to put into play and if you have a collection of Laserburn miniatures or others you can easily get into Imperial Commander.

We have been asked if we will produce 'army packs' for Imperial Commander as we have done with value packs and game pack with book for Laserburn.  We may well do this and if you have any ideas for an army you would like to see made up from the existing range (such as Imperials from the '300' series of figures) then do let us know on sales@alternative-armies.com. On another front we will continue to restore the books for Laserburn and also Combat 3000 as time proceeds.  If you have a title you wish to ask about then by all means contact us on email and we will let you know its status.

New Pummilig Pig, Boar and Dodo

Alternative Armies has replaced three riding animals in the Flintloque range with updated versions.  These new versions will, from now, replace the originals in all codes which make use of the Pummilig Pig, the riding Boar and the Dodo.  In the case of the Pig and Dodo these are newly sculpted purpose designed for resin with saddles which will fit any of the existing riders.  The Dodo, by request, is now in a running pose rather than standing.  Here follows a list of the packs affected and you can also purchase these animals on their own too if you desire.  Original Dodo by Elton Waters and new Pig and Boar by Sam Croes.

As we work towards the Bier Wars (see the article from April on our BLOG) our Dwarves needed snazzy new mounts.

52516M Pummilig Pig: The mighty Pummilig Pig is favoured by the Dwarves of Krautia and also some Dwarves in the tiny states of Finklestein such as the Von Rotte Legion.  It can also be eaten on campaign..well it might also just eat its rider. 

52501M Riding Boar: Big and bristling this mount is used by the Dwarves of Finklestein as well as Krautia plus some of the Dogmen states.  The model is two piece with a separate head while requires assembly.

53507M Running Dodo: The Goblins of Al-Garvey and its Darke Age lands ride upon these flightless birds as it suits the rugged terrain of their nation.  A metal miniature which can also be used as battlefield interest and as an animal in its own right.

All of these are in each nation's army page as well as our Battlefield Bits and Others Range alongside lots of other animals, scenics and interesting things.

Here is a list of all the codes which from now contain these new versions of their riding animals:  

5108C Fat Boris and Bacon 

52506 Krautian Dwarf Command 

52516 Uhlans Von Krautia

52007 Uhlan Von Krautia

52507 Finklestein Dwarf Command

52517 Von Rotte Command

52519 Von Rotte Cuirassiers

52520 Von Rotte Hussars

52501 Krautian Uhlan Lancers

53507 4th Al-Garvey Dragoons

53509 Al-Garvey Goblin Command

OH30 Goblin Knights on Dodos 

In our next update we will show you all of the re-mastered and re-released classic Legion de Nain blister pack codes from the 1990's including a new foot officer as requested by players.  We will follow this up with the return of the updated Finklestein Dwarf Artillery Crew plus a Dwarf Messenger.  All of this will mean in June we can proceed with brand new Legion releases with all the troops lined up behind them ready!

CA6 Deadly Foes three remastered 28mm fantasy miniatures

"Your party has found their lair. Your party has cut through the undergrowth and scaled the walls. Your party has hacked its way through the henchmen and your party has overcome the traps that litter the ground. Your party has lost some members and tears have been shed as those remaining climb the stone stair case and enter the chamber in which the deadly foe you have sought resides. Behind the door is an enemy more powerful that those your party has faced and beaten...will you succeed?”

Three 28mm miniatures from our High Fantasy range sculpted in the 1990's and now re-mastered in new molds and back on the website.  New painted versions as well.  Go HERE for the Adventurers and Wizards collection.  Choose from the pack or single poses from the pack in any quantity; all on screen. 

A Vampire, a Hag and a Summoner...

Mastergunz Paint Worx on our 15mm BearCat Battlesuits

A treat for players and fans of 15mm scale science fiction wargaming now as we present the painting and converting work of Mastergunz on our HOF range battlesuits.  Variants of the BearCat which works alongside Security Force Alpha.  If you would like to see all of these and other mecha in the range go HERE.

We begin with a conversion and paint up of the HOF121A FireCat Battlesuit.  The clear glass of the cockpit was plated in armour and then a vision plate worked in for the pilot.  Lovely stuff!  Here is is from all angles.  The work was done with plasti-card smoothed down and fitted.

There are six (seven if you count the Meerkat Spotter Suit) variants of the BearCat each with its own role. General Use, Anti-Armour, Fire Support, Construction and Artillery. Mastergunz last time painted up two of HOF121 making use of the parts supplied to create his own battlesuit load outs.

Double Chaingun and Missile Pod on the left and Power Drill with machine gun on the right.  The original BearCat comes with everything shown above plus a chainsaw.

In response to gamers requests we released the BearCat Parts Selector page so that you can build your own battlesuit from twenty choices in any quantity.  Go HERE for this.

The HOF Range has more than one hundred and sixty codes suitable for any game system and we look forward to seeing what Mastergunz chooses next to add to his collection.

HOT128 Lizard Ogres released HOT 15mm Fantasy Range

Now added to the new Savage Lizardmen part of the mighty HOT range a new pack of two poses of Lizard Ogres!  This is our sole release in this scale and genre in May. Go HERE to browse the range or read on.

“Arid land of rocks and sand giving nothing for free except pain and misery.  From this land and its caves came the savage tribes of Lizardmen for whom war is constant need of life; for who controls scarce water controlled existence itself.  All would have continued thus but for travellers who, as they were tortured and then consumed, let it be known that richer places lay over the blistering horizon.  Places to be conquered.  Places to be ruled by the tribes.”

HOT128 Lizard Ogres

This code contains two different metal 15mm scale miniatures each is approx 20mm tall.  Lizard Ogres are the hulking brethren of the Savage Lizardmen and are used as muscle against the foe. Lizard Ogre with club in both hands (pose 1) and Lizard Ogre holding a boulder overhead (pose 2). As with all HOT 15mm Fantasy codes you can purchase the pack or you can choose a sampler which in this code allows choice or each of the miniatures as a single; a great way to try or to make skirmish forces with HOT.

All miniatures are supplied unpainted and without bases (shown on 20mm square bases from our ranges).  Other images give scale comparisons and these codes not supplied.  Go HERE.

We began this new fantasy army last month with three packs of warriors, spears and polearms and it is our intention to expand each month towards a full force of infantry, monsters, cavalry, command and artillery in 2021.  Thank you for your kind words and you can use these miniatures in any suitable rules system.

Space Marines 28mm by Asgard new pictures and value pack

Some of the first and finest 28mm scale Space Marines ever made (to us anyway) with a classic style all of their own. We are delighted to announce new improved pictures of the entire SM code series by Asgard.  Single miniatures and a value pack of all of them with a saving.  On top of this we also have a few scaling shots as well and a line up of the restored HA code series of Space Adventurers and Pirates.  See them all HERE.

Originally made in 1980 for the Combat 3000 and then Laserburn rule systems (also coming out in 15mm scale too a bit later) Alternative Armies brought these miniatures back to the world a few years ago.  We had been asked for larger images and now this has happened.  Each miniature has a front and rear view.

There are thirteen different figures from unarmoured Space Troopers and an Energy Mortar to light armoured and then battle armoured Space Marines including one in flight on a pillar of flame.

We are restoring the HA series of Space Adventurers and Pirates and above is what we have thus far to offer.  Also a scale shot alongside SM codes for comparison.

Go along to the website to see all that there is.  In addition to the Asgard range we also have the huge Ion Age 28mm range and the Alternate Stars 28mm range of character miniatures. Not to forget the Loud Ninja Games and Ganesha ranges of 28mm science fiction. Plenty to see and to use with any game system so we have been told.
