VNT47 Dem Bones 28mm Pack, Singles and Saver Bundles released

Our last release for the month. During the month of October 2021 a firm favourite pack in the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range is included for free in every order going out.  A lovely treat and now for those 28mm players feeling left out we present the larger scale new Dem Bones!  A pack of six pieces or single pieces or saver bundles of ten.  Go to the Undead Legion (VNT) range or the Guild Room Scenics Range both were the bones reside.

"Bones of the ages.  Moldering and piled deep.  Such bones are war's earnings."

VNT47 Dem Bones: In the pack there are two different Skeletons (28mm scale) one face down and the other face up.  There is a sprue of five Human Skulls (all are different), a sprue of five Exotic Skulls (Big, Bestial, Primitive, Demonic and Monster).  A Skull Carpet which is 25mm square that can be a 'tile' or can be a 'base' for a miniature.  Lastly a Skull Pile which is 30mm wide and 20mm tall representing the heaped heads.  The set of six is in the pack and on that page HERE you can also choose any part of the pack in any quantity.

Each of the Dem Bones models is also on our website in a 'saver bundle' of ten identical pieces (each sprue counts as one piece) with a saving applied on screen (these also offer the piece as a single too).  This is great for those wanting to really decorate their tables, base up their figures or have a mountain of skulls in their possession.

VNT47-01 Skeleton Face Down Bundle (10)

VNT47-02 Skeleton Face Up Bundle (10)

VNT47-03 Human Skulls Sprue Bundle (50 skulls)

VNT47-04 Exotic Skulls Sprue Bundle (50 skulls, 10 of each type)

VNT47-05 Skull Carpet Bundle (10)

VNT47-06 Skull Pile Bundle (10)

Get your bones onto the table and bring fear to the foe!

Dem Bones is really useful from Fantasy to Science Fiction and any Historical system too they will fit into almost any setting with ease. As an example here is the deadly and beautiful Babd Macha collector of heads (CM24-03) next to the new Skull Pile amid the mists of Erin. Erin Celtic Myth Range.  Splendid stuff.

Limber Boxes and Coiled Rope added to 28mm Battlefield Bits range

Our array of bits to add to your miniatures or their bases or to place upon the field of battle expands with three more pieces. Useful for Flintloque as well as Horse and Musket period two different limber boxes and a coil of rope. Go HERE for the range. 

 

Limber Boxes are used by Horse Artillery and by Foot Artillery to keep tools and other items safe during transit. Often the gun crew will sit upon the box as a kind of seat (having a padded lid makes it more comfortable) and of course you can use the boxes for other supplies. Perhaps a scenario objective. Coils of rope serve artillery and navy as well as being useful for bandits, thieves and lots of other uses. These three codes are metal miniatures 28mm scale and come as singles except for the rope which is a set of four. 

 

As well as many sprues of bits such as pots, papers, pies, pistols, tankards, feathers, carrots and more the Battlefield Bits range contains Tents and wheels plus limber and riding animals of many species. Such as the Pummilig Riding Pig above there are Horses, Dodo, Camel and others. Well worth a browse HERE.

Legion de Nain Staff new Dwarves released for Flintloque

“Coin is a funny thing.  Tiny bits of gold, silver and copper but in the hearts of Nain's there is little which will inspire more avarice than their chink in bag or chest.  Pay Masters guard their coin well and in fact even during the worst of defeats and routs it is rare to see the glint of metal exposed.  Either the officers gather enough troops around them to stave off predation or the predation results in staved in heads.  Either way I see the pay chests and I see the razor edged blade of the Pay Master's axe too."  (Legionnaire Gurt Feigling, 1st Legion de Nain)

We present the final of three dedicated pack codes (pack or singles from it) of character infantry for the Legion De Nain.  This time it is the 'staff' aides and officers with purpose to put into your force.  You can also see above 52005D Legion Officer on Pony, Legionary Drummer from 52005 and Beer Barrel Barricade from our scenic range.  Following up on the casualties and wounded last month and the veterans before them this new pack slots right into the infantry of the line, grenadiers or skirmishers of these Dwarves. Four Dwarves uniformed to match up with the rest of the Legion.  The legion now has fifty poses of Dwarf 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.

52023 Legion de Nain Staff:  This pack contains four different 28mm scale metal Dwarves which slot right into the ranks of the Legion and are great for more specialised scenarios.  Choose from the pack or select a pose (A to D) and all poses are dressed in legion uniform.  They are Dwarf officer with monocle pointing  and slung axe (A), bare headed Dwarf paymaster with axe and coin chest under his arm (B), bare headed Dwarf aide studying maps and papers with slung axe (C) and Dwarf with telescope and hammer (D).  You can select poses from the pack too. Supplied with resin cartouche bases included.

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 are pleased to be able to say that next month is the start of the cavalry as the infantry is now complete with a battalion's worth of new interlinked with each other poses!

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.

The miniatures featured in this video are CA2 Halfing Walking Party (which can be had as a pack or as single miniatures) in our Adventurers and Wizards collection and codes such as AAB006 Halfling Cook and AAB013 Halfling Stilt Walker which you can see in this refined grouping in the Ganesha Games range.

We recently remolded the Halfling Walking Party and it is on special offer just now too.

New 28mm Limber Boar and Limber Pig released

The World of Valon sees two new beasts this day with the release of limber versions of the Pummilig Pig and Boar both in resin.  These are the same animals used by the Dwarves as cavalry mounts and will work in any gun crew for the Confederation of Finklestein or Krautia for example.  The Limber Pig are now supplied with the Von Rotte Artillery Crew as well.  

You can of course get these animals on their own as well in any amount. To see these as well as all our other BATTLEFIELD BITS RANGE click through to the website. We have Boars, Pigs, Dodo, Camel, Horses, Hippos, Rhinos, Gnoll, Lizards, Bison and many more mounts and limber beasts.  Well worth a browse.

Back in May we replaced all of the metal boars and pigs with more characterful and larger resin versions.  You can see an example of this change above with the classic Uhlan von Krautia (the rider re-mastered) on the new Pummilig Pig.  Any rider who fit upon the metal mounts will fit the resin ones.

The Legion de Nain is developing into a full army and already has not only the original classic packs but full units of gun crew (above and now with the option to get them with horse, pig or boar limber beasts on the page) line, grenadiers, light infantry and specialist packs of Casualties and Veterans. If you would like to know more about the Bier Wars project then follow its progress on this TAB on our blog.
