52022 Legion de Nain casualties released for Flintloque

“We wept.  All of us.  Dwarf killing Dwarf it was a nightmare and more it was all the plan of the tyrant Mordred.  To weaken us so that we might be brought under his bejeweled thumb and put enmasse into his armies.  I watched the wounded walk and be carried from the field at Fassbier as the roar of musketry sounded like thunder.  Later when only smoke and horror remained on the field we went looking for our Nains who had fallen.  Some we found.  Others..well they were so parted that none could name them.  I did not sleep for days.” (Major Ulf von Slackblatten 1st Legion de Nain)

Above you can see the Legion de Nain skirmishers mid action with some of their number reduced to walking wounded, grounded or killed in action.  In the second of our specialist driven pack codes (following up on the Veterans last month) we present Legion de Nain casualties.  Four Dwarves uniformed to match up with the rest of the Legion and in poses to mix into your force during play.  The legion has doubled and then doubled again in size and you can read all about it on our blog using the Bier Wars TAB. Go HERE for the Confederation of Finklestein on the website where all these miniatures reside.

52022 Legion de Nain Casualties: This pack contains four different 28mm scale metal Dwarves which are at home anywhere in the Legion and ideal in play to represent the result of action!  Choose from the pack or select a pose from the pack (A to D). All are dressed in legion uniform. They are a bare headed Dwarf with an injured leg using a walking crutch, his arm in a sling and his eyes covered due to injury too (A), Dwarf sitting with a gut wound mouth open in pain (B), Dwarf in full uniform laying face up deceased (C) and Dwarf in full uniform laying face down deceased (D). Go HERE.   

As we progress more releases will happen monthly as we expand the Legion de Nain and work towards it as a full force of all arms (the biggest ever expansion to the miniature range for a single army) we will also be slowly putting together a Flintloque campaign book on the Monich Bier War too.  There are now forty six different Dwarves in the Legion.

If you would like to get into Flintloque in the lands of the Dwarfs then look no further than 5028 Beir and Bones  game book.  On its own with full rules in print or as a digital download or as a shilling starter pack with miniatures and scenarios. If you have any questions please contact us on sales@alternative-armies.com and ask.

We hope you like this new rather sad release (war is hell even on Valon) and this is our only Flintloque and Slaughterloo release this month but keep an eye out shortly for a rules bolt on for Flintloque making use of the free in September Pig Dog (placed in all orders shipped; see it HERE).

Free Patrol Angis scenario: Knight to Remember

"It was the League of Canlaster that made the first moves of the civil war. Taking the five million men of the Gulaine Company of the Prydian Army, which had declared for Bluefort en masse, they forced those loyal to Yordan out of twelve systems including the Kendal system. Meanwhile the priority attack by a Yordan allied fleet upon the emerald green resource world of Dando II took the garrisons there by complete surprise. Two worlds were plunged into battles among those who were once brothers. Although fabricators furiously worked to place the crests and livery of their baronial masters on their armour most still fought in the white and red of the Prydian Army.” - 4320IC. From Patrol Angis

A treat for Ion Age fans and players of Patrol Angis (in 15mm or using the 28mm Ion Age range as more are doing) today with a free small scenario pitting battlesuits against each other at the start of the Prydian Civil War.  

Knight to Remember:  A two page small scenario for two players or solo play in which a lance of Prydian Duxis Battlesuits are taken by surprise on Geolu Prime by two platoons of now Canlastrian Havelock Battlesuits.  Can they escape the trap?  Download from our online storage by CLICKING HERE.  Visit the website for an entire page full of folder download links of Ion Age resources HERE.

HOT119 Savage Lizardmen Blades 15mm release

“The Savage Lizardmen are from a barbaric time and live in tribes.  Their armies shake the very ground as they advance.”

Our new release in the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range for this month adds more infantry to the growing army of Savage Lizardmen.  This infantry pack gives you blades to go with spears, warband and polearms.  Great for any game system.

HOT119 Savage Lizardmen Blades. This code contains 10 metal 15mm scale miniatures in the following poses randomly and evenly selected: Lizardman screaming challenge with Sword and Shield, Lizardman advancing with Sword and Shield, Lizardman standing with Sword and Shield, Lizardman issuing challenge with Sword and Shield. As with all HOT 15mm Fantasy codes you can purchase one pack or you can choose a sampler which gives you one of each pose of miniature from this pack; a great way to try or to make skirmish forces with HOT. Each miniature is about 16mm tall and heavily muscled.  Go HERE.

Here are the new blades alongside our Anti Paladins, evil humans in plate armour, on foot and mounted (HOT104 and HOT132) for scale.

The Savage Lizardmen army!  As well as sixteen poses of infantry there is a Behemoth and Lizard Ogres as well as Artillery and the Iganosaur too. See them in battle above against our Giant Slugs from Tabletop Miniatures code 549.  It is our intention to create a HOTT 2nd Edition army for these cold blooded fighters and that will happen once the cavalry and command is in place late in 2021 hopefully.

Savage Dog free in orders and what is coming September 2021 at Alternative Armies

Bartorc stood clutching the torn bloody stump of his left wrist.  His hand was in the mouth of the mass of teeth and coarse fur that was the Pig Dog.  The Orc spoke, his voice quivering with pain to the elderly shop keeping sitting near the busily chewing creature.  “You told me your dog does not bite!”.  The old Elf smiled and nodded before replying.  “I did, I did.  But then this is not my dog.”  How was Bartorc going to load his musket now...one handed.  Bad dog!

September is here!  All this month a free miniature in every package shipped out from Scotland to every customer. You need do nothing but place an order which requires to be shipping anywhere in the world (no Digital Download orders only sorry!) of any size and we will automatically include GRN04 Pig Dog.  As many orders as you want and ends 9am GMT 1st October 2021.  You can also order this code in any amount and you will still get the free one.  Great for 28mm fantasy and for post-apoc settings plus it is great in Flintloque as well.  From the Grinning Skull Range of madness and oddity sculpted by Will Grundy.

As you can see it is a very interesting miniature and would be a great addition to your collection.  Shown with an Orc Dragoon on foot from 54055 for a scale reference.  Go HERE.
