Moskova Volunteers 20 new Undead Flintloque miniatures and more...

Often effective when used en-masse the Skeletons of the Moskova Volunteers are poor troops but they are effective against lesser mortal enemies such as enemy Militia or Landwehr. They operate in sections of about twenty armed with Standard Carbines or Dwarf MkI Muskets officers are typically Ghouls with sword. Their uniform consists of various civilian clothing along with some odd bits of military equipment, browns and blue are common.  They are legion and also have supporting artillery and other arms.

A huge end to the year for Flintloque and Slaughterloo plus the last regular releases of 2024 and the Winter Mega Event too. Added to the Army of the Witchlands are twenty new poses as packs (with single choices within them) and a twenty eight pose Slaughterloo unit with saving of all poses. In 28mm scale and metal with included resin free bases we present the Skeletons of the damned, the fleshless and the worn out...the ‘volunteers’.

55028 Moskova Volunteer Muskets: This pack contains the more ‘fortunate’ Skeletons of the Militia armed with captured Ferach Muskets.  Single poses are A to D as shown on the page.

55029 Moskova Volunteer Melee:  The former villagers and townfolk of the Witchlands are in this pack armed with hand weapons.  Single poses are A with Axe, B with pitchfork, C with bladed staff and D with wooden mallet as found on the page.

55030 Moskova Volunteer Command:  It is the lowest of roles in the Army of the Dark Czar to command the militia but still it must be done.  This pack contains four poses which are Ghoul Officer (A), low ranking KGB Liche (B) and two Skeletons armed with muskets and wooden mallets (C and D).  The office and liche can be used with other formations such as Zombie Line (55508).

55031 Moskova Volunteer Colour Party:  As the battalions of the skeletal volunteers advance it is to the sound of rattling drums and the vision of ragged flags.  This pack contains a standard bearer (A), a drummer (B), a Sergeant (C) and lastly with pose D a hopping mad private missing a leg using its musket as a crutch.

55032 Moskova Volunteer Pikes:  This pack contains skeletons who are better armed than the worst but not possessing firelocks.  Two poses with pikes (A and B) and two poses with axe bladed polearms (C and D).  Typically Militia formations will have many more pikes, blades and melee weapons rather than muskets.

55523 Moskova Militia Skeletons:  This full Slaughterloo Unit contains twenty eight miniatures along with their bases included free. There is a saving off packs and singles in the unit.  Led by a Ghoul Officer with KBG Liche and full colour party as well as skeletons with muskets, pikes, axes and more.  A total of twenty different poses with eight further troopers added for the total unit.  See 5030 Slaughterloo for game rules. Codes contained are: 55030,55031,55028, 55029, 55032.

Here are some side by side pictures of other codes in the Witchlands next to the new Skeletons.  General Bardaghul as well as Stalinov and the Zombie Colour Party Sergeant.

World of Valon News for December

Any adventure in the Witchlands starts with the Flintloque beginners set 5024 Escape the Dark Czar which contains ten miniatures, core rules and more giving you General Saindoux and setting off on the Retreat from Moskova.  There are many free scenarios and more as links at the top of the Begin in Flintloque page.  Once you are confident of the game or you wish to go in with the full rules and setting then you will want 5026 Death in the Snow or its SSP02 Shilling Starter Pack.  Adventures are boundless in the barren frozen wastes of the Witchlands.

There are some treats coming during December for the World of Valon. Three articles to read, to play and to enjoy which each involves the Moskova Volunteers.  Each will be announced and given freely.  A free full size Flintloque scenario for two players or solo play which sees General Saindoux and his band of survivors surprised by a numerically superior Undead force. A ‘Uniformation’ expanding the game rules and statistics for the Witchlands Volunteers as well as Undead Cossacks in Slaughterloo as well as Flintloque. Lastly over on Orcs in the Webbe a solo play simple game in which an Elvish Drummer Boy has a bad night trying to evade Skeletons among petrified trees.  Great fun!

Thanks for your Time.
