OH28 Goblin Chariot Released!

A fantastic re-release into our classic fantasy range at Alternative Armies this time.  Progressing through the OH series of codes and this time its the Goblin Chariot kit with wolves!  This white metal 28mm scale kit contains all the parts you need to build a Goblin Chariot with two wolves pulling it and two Goblins riding in it.  The pack is as follows:

OH28 Goblin Chariot

"Racing across the plain and ahead of the broiling Goblin Hordes the charioteers have harnessed wolves to the rickety construction that they made from scavenged  Dwarvish nails and Elvish timber burned at the ends.  Those charioteers who had teeth soon lose them to the jarring clamour of high speed travel and the wolves that are forced to pull the creaking chariot are foul tempered at best and sated on raw Goblin flesh at worst.  With spear and sword the chariot riders lash out at those foes and indeed friends that pass by in a blur.  Death or glory!  That is the life of a Charioteer!"

This code contains one 28mm scale white metal kit with all the parts you need to build a chariot, two Goblins riders and two Wolves to pull it.  Great quality, choice and value. These miniatures are not supplied with bases and are supplied unpainted. Select your choice from the drop down product menu.  Choose from a pack, three packs with a 10% saving applied or some parts options, the chariot alone, two wolves or single miniatures (Goblin Driver, Goblin Guard).  Total choice!  Assembly is required for this code. Go HERE. Poses in this code are as follows:

OH28-01: Chariot Kit with Two Riders and Two Wolves

OH28-02: Chariot Kit only

OH28-03: Two Wolves (two poses)

OH28-04: Goblin Chariot Driver

OH28-05: Goblin Chariot Guard

Classic Tabletop 25mm Torture Chamber Sets returning

As part of the process that we have already undertaken bringing Laserburn 15mm and Tabletop Fantasy 15mm as well as Historical 15mm (all on 15mm.co.uk) and of course the 28mm Tabletop Barbarians back to the wargaming world Alternative Armies is now moving onto the next stage of this process with the classic Torture Chamber range.  Back in the early 1980's Tabletop Games released a whole series of white metal kits and sets to populate dungeons and battlefields, to build vignettes and populate characters.  This was a very extensive and original idea.  It will take us quite a while to cover all of it but we are beginning with the Torture Chamber series coded TOR.

Alternative Armies has already re-released TOR1 The Whipping Beam set which you can see on our website HERE.  We will be following up fairly regularly with another re-release and in some cases re-molded code until the whole range of some fifteen plus sets is back in the world.  Two things to note.  Firstly we will be starting with TOR2 The Rack in early October.  Secondly this range contains adult themes and nudity among some of the miniatures.  There is nothing wrong with this however we have taken our customers responses into account and we will be placing images of these sets up 'censored' where needed on our blog and social media.  Uncensored images will only feature on our website page for the code.

As a treat we have taken 20% off the online price of TOR1 until the end of the month.  

Thanks for Reading.

OH19, OH20, OH21 Fantasy HobGoblin Packs Released!

Three packs released into our classic 25mm / 28mm fantasy range by Alternative Armies.  We are not even at the half way point with the OH series of codes but this time we are giving you all the HobGoblins that are in the OH line.  Following up on last time when we gave you two packs of Dogmen these go well with OH2 HobGoblin Raiders which are already on the website.  On foot and from horseback these fierce goblinoids raid and pillage at will!  Go HERE.  The three packs are as follows:

OH19 HobGoblin Khan

Rumours come from the east.  Rumours from the flatlands at the foot of the endless mountains of misery beyond which none will venture.  Rumours of savages that ride down the innocent and sack walled towns without mercy.  These rumours speak of a Khan of the HobGoblins.  What is a HobGoblin you ask?  A man sized Goblin with a streak of cruelty that more than matches their smaller cousins.  Smarter and more nimble too.  The Khan offers a choice every town a choice to surrender or to fight.  Surrender and live and its from these thin wretches that these rumours come.  Fight and no mercy or quarter is shown by the Khan.  No rumours from these sacked places only flame charred and chewed bones.  

This code contains four different 25mm / 28mm white metal miniatures approx 28mm average height.  Great quality, choice and value. These miniatures are not supplied with bases and are supplied unpainted. Select your choice from the drop down product menu.  Choose from a pack, three packs with a 10% saving applied and single miniatures.  Total choice!  Assembly is required with some white metal miniatures. Go HERE. Poses in this code are as follows:

OH19-01: HobGoblin warrior with Spear in horned helm.

OH19-02: HobGoblin warrior in armour with Shield and Sword.

OH19-03: HobGoblin Khan (leader) with Sword and Shield.

OH19-04: HobGoblin warrior shouting with Sword and Shield.

OH20 HobGoblin Marauders

By the will of the Khan these HobGoblin marauders carry out his will upon the wide flatlands of far off Mystavia.  In shining armour polished by slaves made of the conquered and carrying blades that were forged in cities now smote from this earth the marauders offer a choice.  Fight or surrender.  They prefer the fight and the taste of man flesh.  Savages.  Rows of sharp teeth and eyes that glow with evil intent mean that the HobGoblins will never be allies of us or any noble race.  I hear that even the under hill king of the Goblins shows them no favour.  Fight or surrender...what a choice!

This code contains four different 25mm / 28mm white metal miniatures approx 28mm average height.  Great quality, choice and value. These miniatures are not supplied with bases and are supplied unpainted. Select your choice from the drop down product menu.  Choose from a pack, three packs with a 10% saving applied and single miniatures.  Total choice!  Assembly is required with some white metal miniatures. Go HERE. Poses in this code are as follows:

OH20-01: HobGoblin warrior with Two Handed Sword.

OH20-02: HobGoblin veteran with Poleaxe.

OH20-03: HobGoblin running with Two Handed Sword.

OH20-04: HobGoblin veteran advancing with Sword and Shield.

OH21 HobGoblin Cavalry

A portent of doom comes to any watcher upon the wooden town wall when he thinks he sees a lone rider upon the distant horizon.  Carts and traders are easy to see with the jingle of harness and the faint clink of goods.  Friendly riders from neighbouring towns upon the flatlands fly banners showing their intent as soon as in eyesight of the walls.  A lone rider on a pony that simply sits and looks is what the wall watcher dreads for it could be a HobGoblin dispatched by the Great Khan to scout for new subjects of his will.  Will the walls hold or simply burn under assault?

This code contains two different 25mm / 28mm white metal miniatures approx 28mm average height sitting on Ponies (Two parts per miniature).  Great quality, choice and value. These miniatures are not supplied with bases and are supplied unpainted. Select your choice from the drop down product menu.  Choose from a pack, three packs with a 10% saving applied and single miniatures.  Total choice!  Assembly is required with some white metal miniatures. Go HERE. Poses in this code are as follows:

OH21-01: HobGoblin with Sword and Shield in cloak.  

Supplied with either walking or running Pony.

OH21-02: HobGoblin with Poleaxe.  

Supplied with either walking or running Pony.

VNT1 Eternal Guard 

"We made a mistake when we failed to bury the fallen in deep corpse pits. A mistake that cost us all dear at Black Heart Lake. The army marched past the foul shores of that dead lake expecting to face only the fell lords and their minions. Little did we know that those evil doers had the services of a great Necromancer who had followed us and raised the dead. Corpse pits provide rich fruit and since this fruit had not been buried, only piled with those we had slain it meant that the army of the dead had caught up with us. On two fronts we split and I for my sins survived only by shedding my axe and mail and swimming the slimy waters of the lake. Even now I can hear the screams and the endless creaking and brittle motions of bones ending life. Dead sockets where eyes had once been." 

We have taken 20% off this code containing five different 25mm/28mm white metal miniatures approx 27mm average height. Great quality, great choice and great value too. You can choose a pack or single miniatures from the five poses using the drop down menu on the product page. Go HERE. Poses in this code are as follows:
