The finest of Yuletide and Fresh Annum tidings from the team at Alternative Armies. We will close on Monday 23rd December 2024 giving the whole team two weeks paid rest with family and friends. We re-open on 6th January 2025 and commence production, shipping and responding fully from then on.
While we are closed there will be occasional checks upon email and social media and we have in place (from now) a blanket automatic discount of 20% on all festive orders placed online. You need do nothing but order and the discount will show on screen at checkout to see before shipping is calculated. This ends 9th January 2025.
Every order placed until 9th January 2025 automatically gets VNT52 Wee Beasties (see them above with scale miniature examples) three different little creatures for any scale and many genre uses. There is also a bundle VNT52P code as well. See them as well as everything else which has ever been free on our Former Free Collected pages.
We have been asked by customers what our ‘miniature of the year’ is. We have made over 300 releases this year and picking is very difficult so...we let our website software do it for us! Here are the top codes by sales and by searches in 2024. Interestingly all of the brand new fell outside of this but we expect to see a couple of them next time.
DW00 Dwarf Warriors Set (13 Miniatures) : The most popular restored classics of the 1980's were Jes Goodwin's Dwarves and of them the value set of all thirteen.
Patrol Angis Game Pack : The most popular 15mm sci-fi rules set and pack code is the game pack for Patrol Angis the way into skirmishing in The Ion Age.
ME31 Scottish Pikeman : Among many others from the Medus 15mm range this code was the biggest seller, just, for the year. Comes with a separate pike and is part of the restored Tabletop Games range of the 1980's.
PA13 Prussian Limber Horses : We overhauled the 15mm Napoleonic range options allowing the purchase of single poses of horse and the most searched historical term of 2024 was 'Prussian Limber Horse'.
HOT111 Dem Bones : The most favoured 15mm Fantasy code of 2024 and popular also with historical players as well. We recently made new molds for 'Dem Bones' too.
AS028 WarBot II : We called this one as most popular 28mm code but really it can be used in 6mm and 15mm too. We plan another War Bot in 2025.
Furioso English Civil War rule book : Our most popular digital download title of 2024 and in the top four of print ones too. Written by Steven Danes and goes with our range of 15mm ECW miniatures.
2024 Orcs in the Webbe Advent Calendar
The Advent Calendar has some cracking releases for Flintloque players this year. See OITW and also these links directly for scenarios, AAR and much more. All organised by the Mad Welsh Wizard. Here are some examples all found on the main page.
Day 6 saw a brilliant in-depth Charge/Flintloque After-Action report from the Practical Wargamer 1999 Yearbook.
Day 7 saw a background article and scenario from the 2008 fanzine 60 Bloody Rounds featuring the Joccians and their Witch-Queen.
Day 8 heralded the return of a brilliant scenario that had fallen behind the virtual shelves of Orcs in the Webbe in which Sharke and his Rifles are caught napping by some Voltiguers.
Day 9 saw the final article in Danny O'Hara's phenomenal campaign series where the battles of Valon continue in the far-off lands of El Dorado...
And Days 10 through 12 saw a small trilogy of Flintloque scenarios from the pages a 1998 Valkyrie magazine, all using Sharke's Rifles and a single section of Voltigeurs...
Have a great Christmas and New Year!
