VNT61 The Rising Dead new plus A Wizards Progress remolded 28mm scale

 

"Graveyards are haunted and they are filled with perils both above and below.  Now the very dead themselves are rising..."

Spring Mega Event until 6th May at Alternative Armies.  Fifty new codes, blanket 20% auto off all orders and the current new free model in every order shipped.  See this ARTICLE for the full details or visit the WEBSITE and browse our thousands of choices in 28mm, 15mm, 6mm through sci-fi to fantasy and historical.

The second of three brand new 28mm Undead Legions codes during the Spring Mega Event is revealed with the last one and the new Multitude revealed later this week.  In this message we also present to you the newly remolded 1990’s classic CA1 A Wizards Progress in the Adventurers and Wizards Range.

VNT61 The Rising Dead:  Five different skeletons 28mm scale each in the process of emerging from the cold soil.  A fun group for adding to your collection. The value pack contains all five with a saving and the single codes are as follows.

VNT61-01: A Hand Emerges from the barren soil.

VNT61-02: Pushing from the Soil.

VNT61-03: Rising from the Grave.

VNT61-04: Risen Skeleton with Gravestone.

VNT61-05: Skeleton carrying his Gravestone.


"A college of magic is the place for any aspiring Wizard. From the Youngling who is trying a feeble first in spell making to the young Mage who is adept at a few spells and strives for more and then the Magus at the height of his powers and influence who holds all in his thrall. Elderly spell casters who are in the twilight and yet find employment. Then there are those who fail as apprentices through drunkenness or sheer dimwitted act they end up as offal and charred or worse remains upon the ground. A Wizards Progression can be a rewarding one...or one fraught with danger!" 

CA1 A Wizards Progress:  Now in new molds the first code from the CA Range is from the early 1990’s and contains five different miniatures in 28mm scale.  From a youth to a master, an elder and a failure a fun group for dungeon crawl or in your collection. The value pack contains all five with a saving and the single codes are as follows.

CA1-01: The Magical Youth beginning his training. Sitting with Book.

CA1-02: The Young Mage casting a spell.

CA1-03: The Grand Magus expanding his realm.

CA1-04: The Aged Wizard with his staff.

CA1-05: The Failed Apprentice. A pile of remains and boots!

Thanks for your Time.

Bradley Miniatures presents new 15mm vehicles

From the talented hands of Bradley Miniatures (who has an extensive 6mm range made by us) come three further 15mm scale vehicle kits for your science fiction battlefields.  Adding to the tanks, towed artillery, drop pod and others is a super heavy hovercraft and two variants of an armoured car.  Let us see the new goodies in the Bradley Miniatures 15mm Range.

Spring Mega Event until 6th May at Alternative Armies.  Fifty new codes, blanket 20% auto off all orders and the current new free model in every order shipped.  See this ARTICLE for the full details or visit the WEBSITE and browse our thousands of choices in 28mm, 15mm, 6mm through sci-fi to fantasy and historical.

BR1510 Gotha Heavy Hovercraft: The Gotha is often used as a command vehicle in hover formations.  It features an impressive electronic suite as well as greater armour and the ability to carry a full squad of assault troops.  One of the largest hovercraft ever constructed. A 15mm scale kit in high quality resin and metal with all parts required to build one. Supplied is the main hull, top turret, a set of fins plus two different main weapons for a choice (Tri-Barrel Cannon and Energy Cannon). When assembled this vehicle is 120mm long, 70mm wide and about 35mm tall.

BR1509A Carver Scout Car: The six wheeled Carver provides mobile armour for infantry formations.  Tough and dependable it comes in two primary variants the more common turret and the 'stug' variant which gives up internal space for a heavier weapon. One 15mm scale kit in high quality resin and metal with all parts required to build one Carver Scout Car.  Supplied is the main hull, six wheel piece, turret, main gun and secondary weapon.  When assembled this vehicle is 60mm long, 30mm wide and about 30mm tall.

BR1509B Carver Scout Stug: The more common Carver has a turret and this the 'stug' variant which gives up internal space for a much heavier weapon. One 15mm scale kit in high quality resin and metal with all parts required to build one Carver Scout Stug.  Supplied is the main hull, six wheel piece, main gun and secondary weapon. When assembled this vehicle is 60mm long, 30mm wide and about 30mm tall.


These are our last 15mm science fiction releases during the Spring Mega Event and soon the any scale AS031 Warbot III which is free in all orders placed automatically (until 24th April) will not longer be.  We think it looks pretty neat next to the Carver Scout Stug.


We have three different Warbots which all work in any scale from 6mm to 28mm and since they are all ‘Formerly Free in Orders’ each has a big production run discount on it.  Stomp one home today!

Thanks for your Time.

Wheeled Gremlins four new 15mm Ion Age vehicles

“We reached the Star Port and I have never seen such a sight before and hope never to again.  It had been a damn hard fight to push the Styx Legion out of the Northern Sector and it had cost us dear.  Over six hundred killed and wounded but had it not been for the moth rotary cannons on our Gremlin AFV’s it would have been much higher. The rubbacrete pads were intact but strewn with bodies, so many bodies; not all of them intact.  The Legionaries do not provision the Maligs so they tend to their own needs.  Vermin.  We sought them out and took our vengeance for those civilians.  It seemed the enemy plan had been to bring a Dragonship down on the main pad. We aimed to stop that.” Captain Abraham Tull, 48th Planetary Defence Regiment, Northern Sector.  4346 IC.

Following on the heels or should that be skirts of the new Gremlin family of vehicles in their hover variants and the treads of four tracked variants we now release the final four which are wheeled of this medium vehicle. The Gremlin gives Planetary Militia, Grima and sometimes Muster added mobility and firepower that out classes the smaller Adder for weaponry and outpaces the much heavier Mullo classes of transport.  These are all our 15mm Ion Age releases for the Spring Mega Event.

Spring Mega Event until 6th May at Alternative Armies.  Fifty new codes, blanket 20% auto off all orders and the current new free model in every order shipped.  See this ARTICLE for the full details or visit the WEBSITE and browse our thousands of choices in 28mm, 15mm, 6mm through sci-fi to fantasy and historical.

Four page free Patrol Angis download article covering Adder Combat Tankettes as well as lifter type Hazelwurm and Colabreta Carriers. All the variants of the steadfast Mullo Armoured Fighting Vehicle and most requested all of the variants of the new Gremlin Medium Vehicles. Go to the WEBSITE or click HERE to get it direct from our server.  Fits right into Callsign Taranis.

IAF187A Gremlin AFV Wheeled with Bodkin AP Cannon (and Valerin) and hull turret

IAF187B Gremlin MSV Wheeled with Anda Missile Pods Turret and hull turret

IAF187C Gremlin APC Wheeled Personnel Carrier with hull turret

IAF187D Gremlin ACV Armoured Command Vehicle with command turret and hull turret


If you are new to the 15mm Ion Age range then our suggestion is to begin with the Patrol Angis book or game pack with miniatures, battlesuits and bases with a saving.  Once you are ready to progress from infantry level skirmish and want to add vehicles then seek out Callsign Taranis for this. The greatest foe of Humanity is the alien Shia Khan Empire.  In the third book of the series The Khanate Return you can add these aliens as well as Grima and Planetary Militia forces to your play in the Camarthen Prime campaign.  Books in print and as digital download.

The 15mm Ion Age Range contains many hundreds of miniatures as packs (choose single poses within them) and platoon packs which come with an extra free unique miniature.  Added fun!  Get Retained Knights, Destria Knights, Muster, Planetary Militia as well as Malig Goblins, Legionaries, Pioneers and much more such as each of the twenty variants of the mighty Taranis Main Battle Tank which all come with a free pack of drones included. See the ‘Filter By’ box on page to refine your look at the mighty range.

Thanks for your Time.

VNT60 Skeleton Knights 28mm new armoured elite of the dead

"For Men the lordly sight of Knights arrayed for battle brings joy to the soul and warmth to the limbs even on the coldest of nights for it is known that the enemy will soon perish.  These Knights though bring fear and bleed the heat from mortal bodies.  They used to be noble but now in their rusted plate armour they answer not to a King but to the Necromancer..."

Retained Burgeon Bike and Base new 28mm Ion Age

“Among the ranks of the Retained Knights you will find the Burgeon. These knights are as adamant about the Code Gallant as any other but they take upon themselves an additional vow of loyalty that is beyond the duty of any others. For the Burgeon are the masters of the steeds. They are the riders of an animal which has no heart or legs but rather instead has an engine and thrusters which beat with as much if not more power than any creature's could. The Burgeon ride into battle upon the semi-sentient Ventus Model Steeds a unique type of repulsar and other bikes.” Academy Auto-Trainer Series 02, New Glastonbury, 4308 IC
