Skeletal Giant and Fallen Skeleton Giant new 28mm releases

A really big boned release!  In fact it is two releases and you get the second one free with the first which is awesome!  We present our brand new Skeletal Giant (80mm tall) and that same giant scattered fallen as terrain. Nominally for 28mm scale these codes will work in 15mm as well.  See our mighty Undead Legions Range for these and an array of Zombies, Skeletons, Wraiths, Undead Orcs and more.

The Summoner attempts to control a risen giant of bone!  Will he succeed?

VNT50 Giant Skeleton:  This metal miniature is made up of ten pieces which once assembled (with a small degree of pose choice) results in an 80mm height to top of the skull.  Armed with a huge two bladed axe this is an excellent addition to your risen army.  

This code comes supplied with the five resin pieces of VNT49 Fallen Giant Skeleton included for FREE. Shown on a 50mm square base which is not included.

VNT49 Fallen Giant Skeleton: Even the mightiest creation of the Necromancers can be destroyed.  This code contains five different resin pieces allowing you to scatter your giant skeleton on the field of battle as you please.  You can choose from the pack or parts of the pack in any quantity.

Have you seen our 28mm Skeletal Adventurers?  Even in death the dungeon does not mean the end of the quest for a Barbarian, Wizard, Dwarf and a Knight.

Thanks for your Time!

The Icon free any scale terrain piece in all orders until 3rd October and news

We bid goodbye to the any scale Devilish Imps which were our ‘hella hot’ three month summer giveaway in orders (they join all the previous gifts in the Formally Free Codes pages) and welcome the new and totally free model put in all shipped orders.  Until 3rd October 2024 put in your package automatically (you can purchase it as well and still get a free one) we present The Icon!

The only rule is that your order must be shipped anywhere in the world (no digital download only orders sorry) and it can be as many orders as you wish.  When we say free we mean it.

Above you can see the smallest of the three sizes of the new Icon in the green lands of Erin (with CM10-02 Amergin the Druid) it is this smallest of the three sizes of the Icon which is free auto in shipped orders.  We have now released the entirety of brand new VNT54 The Icon.

VNT54 The Icon:  Carved from ancient stone by hands unknown or not of this world the Icons have glittering gems upon them and strange markings and patterns.  Perhaps a vanished race of men or those from under the seas or the stars made the Icons.  Great any scale battlefield terrain.  Choose from a set of all three or singles or a value pack with saving.  Single piece models in high quality resin as follows giving total height and width across the base of the model.

We show the three sizes of Icon with miniatures so you can set them on your table.  CA7 Classic Fighter in 28mm scale and HOT138 Dwarf Handgunner in 15mm scale for the smallest Icon. The Medium Icon has 28mm CM17-03 Cu Chuliann hero of the Celts and a Tiger Combat Walker from the 6mm Bradley Sci-fi range.  CA1-01 The Magical Youth sits next to the Large Icon and a 15mm scale IAF118 Jade Ape Battlesuit of the Xin from The Ion Age on its other side.

What is coming soon at Alternative Armies?

During the time that VNT54-01 Small Icon is free in orders we will have quite a few releases and restored codes brought back to metal life.  On top of this we will have a couple of hobby related articles.  Firstly we must tell you that the third book in the Patrol Angis series The Khanate Return has sold out its print run. Worry not it will be back in stock in the coming weeks.  We will also have new stock of the Ion Age Posters which have been anticipated.  Produced on high quality paper as before.

The 28mm Ion Age Range will see Espaten Portable Weapon Platform variants to go with the gun teams and also the total release of all Shia Khan portable weapon platforms plus gunners and motive unit so loads of stuff.  We have a 15mm Tabletop Miniatures creature from the 1980’s to follow up on the Hydra and Black Dragon.  Finally of the biggest metal models of the Asgard Fantasy Monster Range will be back after decades away...a big boy indeed.   News on each of these as they happen.

New scatter scenics for Erin Celtic Myth 28mm Range

“The landscape of Ireland is vital to its mythology from the smallest streams to the largest forest and hill. The land is Erin and Erin is the land.  Over millennia the Peoples and Gods who have walked, breathed and died upon this land which is Erin have left something of themselves behind.  Thus is the land covered in markers of conflict and of the past and the dead all lending themselves to the magic that is Erin. Such monuments, markers, stones and more can all influence the journey of a great Hero of Ireland.” - From Erin the game of Celtic Myth (2005)

Three new scatter terrain models are now in the Erin Celtic Myth range for your collecting.  The first of what will become many these items populate your table or your dioramas or even the bases of such monsters as Morc of Chicol or Culach the Lord of the Fomorians.  They have, as with EVERY other code in the range, been added to the All of Erin Bundle which gives you everything in the range with a 5% saving built in.

New codes:

CM32-01 Celtic Stone with Skulls

CM32-02 Celtic Stone with Weapons

CM32-03 Trio of Celtic Stones

These will work excellently with the warbands of Erin be they Fomorian, Sidhe, Firbolg or Milesian; pre-made with a saving built in.  All on the Erin Range page.

The Skull Heap is a gruesome piece for your table and features in our Undead Legions Fantasy Range too.

If you wish to get all there is for this range you can with the All of Erin Bundle which has 5% off and during the Spring Mega Event another 20% off at checkout too.  Such value!

We have the 2005 Erin game book as a digital paid download.  We are working on a new edition but it is a long, long way off being ready as all the new miniature releases are working towards it.  Do not fret though as this 108 page download title will still be valid for your miniatures when it arrives.  Alternative Armies never outlaws previous versions of titles.

Thanks!
