Sekoth Guardian Warbird kit 28mm scale released

 “She screamed and pulled at the ropes which bound her to the stone pillar. Her screams had been near ceaseless for an hour and their dark master had been chanting and daubing runes upon the stone flags all that time. The spell was near complete and the Sekoth were motionless but for their breathing and an occasional tongue darting out to caress a dry eye. Beyond the chamber the noise of combat rose as the attackers came nearer. With a single movement of his bony hand the master directed his guardians to the chamber entrance. The enemy was here. A human, his muscled chest streaked with blood and dirt, strode towards the pillar followed by an Elf and a Dwarf. As one the Sekoth raised their bronze swords and maces and gave battle. The spell was near complete and the master would have his sacrifice.”

Now added to the SHM Fantasy Range and sculpted by Greg Saunders an expansion to his Sekoth.  The Sekoth are a reptilian slave race of the darker powers who serve evil masters.  Now alongside the existing infantry a warbird with rider.  Go HERE.

SHM97 Sekoth Guardian Warbird: This 28mm scale pack contains one resin large warbird and a metal rider on saddle with six different choices of weapon arm included. When assembled this model is 70mm tall to riders head and 80mm long from beak to end of tail.  Arms supplied are:  Curved Serrated Blade arm, Banner Arm, Demon Fire Projector arm, Long Straight Sword arm, Iron tipped cudgel arm, Axe holding arm. This pack is supplied unassembled and unpainted without base. 

These rather unique and different fantasy miniatures are great for skirmishes and dungeon crawls.  You can get a pack or single random Sekoth on foot.

If you are an aspiring sculptor and have an idea of a miniature you would like to try and create then perhaps speak to Alternative Armies.  The SHM project allows you to design and learn about materials and molding which will in the end result in something to show the world.  We have worked with nearly two dozen artists this way thus far.  Contact us on sales@alternative-armies.com if you are interested.

A brand new 15mm scale science fiction miniature now released into the SHM Range.  A steam punk soldier of the imagined world of La Guerre Infernale (The Infernal War published in serial in 1908) to celebrate Mars being closer to the Earth than it has been since 2003...an excellent time to launch an Empire based conquest!  As a gift Alternative Armies is putting SHM93 Soldat de Vide free automatically into any order placed until 5th August 2018.  Go HERE or read on for more.  We have no further releases this month.

The red planet will be nearer to our terran realm at the end of July 2018 than any time since 2003 and while it may not be possible for you to 'get your ass to Mars; as the famous saying went here at Alternative Armies we have something nearly as good.  For players of 15mm science fiction, steam punk, post apocalyptic and other systems a new release.   The SHM range has a huge choice of single miniatures from a dozen designers on all manner of subjects and this latest figure is a great addition.

SHM93 Soldat de Vide

This code contains one white metal 15mm scale miniature. Stands 18mm tall to the plume and is in one piece. A steam punk soldier of the imagined world of Pierre Giffard’s La Guerre Infernale (The Infernal War published in serial in 1908).  Dressed in a French style infantry uniform with air tank and sealed helmet with plume.  Carrying a long rifle.  Great for fighting on Mars or on the Moon or even under the sea.  Sculpted by Sam Croes.  0.50GBP.  Go HERE.

Until 5th August 2018 we are putting SHM93 into any order placed with us at the rate of one per order (no limit on number of orders) in any cart which contains one or more items which rates shipping (meaning not Digital Downloads).  We will do this automatically and you need not do anything but order.  Your gift to you and thanks for your support!

As we said the idea behind this new soldier is the classic Edwardian era created Infernal War serial which was published in 1908.  Written by Albert Robida and illustrated by Pierre Giffard this serial gave a different view of a possible future than that of H.G.Wells for example.  A world which never came but can act as a superb setting for 15mm scale wargaming.

Additionally we have automatic FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING now on until Wednesday 1st August 9am GMT on all orders of 15GBP or more in cart. You will get the SHM93 miniature as well in each package. This is standard shipping and a tracked package remains 10GBP flat rate. Full details in the next article but it is now on and just go to our website and browse. Just add to cart.

Mountain Giant released in 28mm SHM Range

Now released at Alternative Armies into the growing 28mm SHM Fantasy range is the Mountain Giant sculpted by Greg Saunders. Added to the Demonologist Set, the Vivaki Hunger Bird, the Vaspari Pit Demon and the Beastial Cyclopes this traditional celtic style giant is a fitting addition. Go HERE or read on for more information. 

‘Sometimes the wild Mountain Giants come down from the craggy peaks and wreak havoc on the land. No one is sure why, so folks thinks it’s a rite of passage, others simply that they get bored. Whatever the reason, you want to be far away when they do come. They aren’t clever but they can copy what civilised people do, and often fashion scraps of clothing, armour and weapons out of things they find. They may not be the largest of giants, a when something swings a tree-trunk topped with a lump of stone at you, you’d best get out of the way.’ 

SHM92 Mountain Giant 

Slow witted but very hard to stop this is a fine addition to your 28mm fantasy collection. This code contains one white metal single piece miniature. The giant stands about 45mm tall and is armed with a long two handed stone topped club. Suitable for use in 28mm scale and in 15mm scale if you wish too. This code is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Images show the miniature from different angles and also alongside a 28mm scale miniature (28mm tall). Pictured on a 50mm square base (not supplied). 6.00GBP. Go HERE. 

Remember Alternative Armies has a huge classic range of 28mm fantasy miniatures including Dwarves, Undead, Orcs and Goblins, Monsters, Barbarians, Torture Chamber and of course the Ganesha Games fantasy line too. Click on the links to be taken to those pages.
