Sharkes Victory 1997 set remastered released and Flintloque news

Captain Sharke of the 105th Rifles is dead!  Or is he?  Believed murdered by the infamous Half-Elf Daniel La Roo the dashing raised from the ranks soldier is in fact still alive.  He is in hiding while secretly trying to foil a Ferach plot to assassinate the Iron Duke himself.  While Sergeant Harpy and the Rifleorcs mourn they are unaware of the danger posed to Wheeling-Turn.  Will Sharke save the day?

Originally released 1997 5004 Sharkes Victory was the first scenario set for Flintloque.  It contained a booklet of scenarios and special rules along with sixteen metal miniatures.  We have now remastered those miniatures and for the first time you can purchase the set with a saving or choose any single pose from it.


Lettered A to O we have Captain Sharke, Wheeling-Turn the Iron Duke, Sergeant Harpy, Augustus O’Toole, Colonel La Roo, Major D’Kless as well as foot and mounted Elves and Rifleorcs.  Useful characters for many other adventures as each comes with a resin base.

The original 1997 booklet for 5004 Sharkes Victory has been retired as it’s mechanics do not fit with Flintloque 3rd edition. Fear not.  In the works an overhauled and expanded booklet which will include all that was in the original by Marc Bacon with Mac Coxhead and more. The three scenarios updated to 3rd edition; new special rules and fiction too.  It will feature artwork by Edward Jackson (such as the above) and be published as a free to download booklet.

51024 4er Voltiguers: This remastered pack contains four different 28mm scale metal Elf light infantry armed with muskets.  These miniatures feature in 5004 Sharkes Victory and can be part of your Ferach sections too.  Choose from the pack or single poses within it.

54027 105th Rifle Skirmish: This remastered pack contains three different 28mm scale metal Orcs of the famous rifle regiment.  These miniatures feature in 5004 Sharkes Victory and can be part of your Greate Britorcn sections too.  Choose from the pack or single poses within it.

We like to give our customers a treat so there is always something free in every package shipped out by us here in Scotland.  Until August 5th it is part two of our Devilish Imps; four any scale miniatures.  Read about this in the ARTICLE.  Totally free in orders included automatically.

Thank you for reading and for supporting the largest range of black powder fantasy miniatures in the world.
