ECW 15mm Walking Wounded released and Furioso postponed

Unfortunate news for you and some new releases too to kick off October too. We have decided to postpone the English Civil War rules by Steve Danes (Furioso book three) publishing until the new year.  Our loyalty to our local suppliers remains and we apologise to those looking forward to the new book sooner.  

It will be worth the wait and we shall let everyone know in plenty of time before a pre-order is revealed.  This is beyond our control and the best outcome we can have due to circumstances.  

The Free 15mm Ruined Arch will be put automatically in all orders until the 17th October as promised and the 20% auto off at checkout on the entire 17th Century Range and the entire 16th Century Range will be in placed until the 12th October as outlined.  This update supersedes that made earlier at the end of September.

New releases!  These have been brought forward a wee bit as a treat.  Three new 15mm scale miniatures depicting the walking wounded and are great for peppering into your regiments to add flavour to the infantry.  They are online now and take the new English Civil War poses up to forty five in total!

MR168 English Wounded Sling Arm 17thC

MR169 English Wounded Walking Staff 17thC

MR170 English Wounded Bullet in Arm 17thC

I wanted to remind everyone that the 15mm Turkish Ottoman army is in the 17th Century Range and features infantry, cavalry as well as command and sappers plus a great bombard and crew.

Thank you for your time.

September becomes October with Book Delay offers extended and new cover reveal

UPDATE Please refer to this new ARTICLE as the content below is now outdated and partially incorrect.

---

Due to circumstances beyond the control of Alternative Armies the planned pre-order and release of Furioso English Civil War by Steve Danes has been postponed. Not by a great deal of time but by over two weeks. We have all of our books printed locally here in Scotland and to ensure this we have encountered this delay.  The pre-order will begin later, the release in October and our current free in all shipped orders code (15mm Ruined Arch) will be extended into October as well for fairness. Read on for full details...

The Pre-Order offer on Furioso English Civil War will commence 2nd October 2023 in the 17th Century 15mm Range pages.  Alongside the print book to pre-order will be army packs with free bases, a mega bundle and savings to go with the rules and of course the brand new range of over 40 single ECW miniatures.  The offer is 20% off the book AND all the other codes in the 17th Century Range AND in the 16th Century Range (including other Furioso titles, their digital versions and their army packs and mega bundle) at Checkout (shown on screen then before payment). Originally meant to end 1st October this discount of these ranges will be extended until Thursday 12th October 2023 when the book is released and the digital download version (20% cheaper as are all our digital books) will come out. We will then commence shipping all orders which contained the book and army packs as pre-ordered.  Miniatures only orders will ship as normal at all times.

To be totally fair we now also ‘Extend September 2023’ in terms of the offers on ranges outlined above and in terms of giving you MRS8 Broken Arch totally free in every order shipped out.  This will be until Tuesday 17th October and then the free item will update to another brand new different code.  We have updated our announcements to reflect all this.  This includes the current Deals and Offers array of 5% to 50% off codes which will not change until then too.

We are delighted to show you now the cover for the upcoming Furioso English Civil War created by Sam Croes.  Enjoy!

We apologise for this unavoidable delay but we hope these measures will make up for it and we are sure the wait will be worth it.

Over 40 new 15mm miniatures released Furioso English Civil War

Historical month builds at Alternative Armies with over 40...yes 40 new additions to our huge 15mm Renaissance Range.  There are now over 300 different miniatures for 15th to 17th century!

These are not in the 16th Century part of the range but rather the 17th Century and are for the English Civil War to go with any system including the upcoming third Furioso title by Steve Danes.  See our BLOG if you missed that news the start of this month.

All of the new miniatures were sculpted by Sam Croes (our lead designer and creates our 15mm Ion Age range as well) including three pike, twelve musket, three halberd as well as four command for infantry, four artillery crew, three riders, three dragoons, three lobster cuirassiers and three pistoller cavalry. There is also cavalry command plus a Royalist and a Parliament brigade commander to lead. Variety of head gear and pose gives variety to your troops.

It is not possible to show you all of these miniatures close up here but proceed to the website and you will find pictures both front and rear of every code.  As with the rest of the range every miniature is a single except for command and artillery four figure sets (which you can choose singles from if you wish too). 

Following the release of the brand new 15mm Brick or Stone scatter terrain last week we wish to remind that the MRS8 Broken Arch is free and automatically included in every shipped order this month.  You need do nothing but order and when your package leaves us the Arch will be included.  It along with the other pieces are on the website.

Lastly until the middle of October both the 16th century range and the 17th century ranges have 20% automatically off them (discount will appear on screen during checkout) and that includes all miniatures, the books, army sets, terrain; everything.

Thank you for your attention.
