Ion Age 28mm Range price increase in July 2021

Alternative Armies has a huge array of miniatures to choose from and we pride ourselves upon offering good service and good prices too.  Sadly we will have to make an increase in the price of the entirety of the two hundred poses of the 28mm Ion Age range.  Prices will increase for packs and for single poses within packs too. The average increase will be from 2.00GBP to 2.50GBP and from 3.00GBP to 3.50GBP and so forth; about 20%.  We have not increased these prices for over five years and it will occur in the first week of July.

There is a lot to choose from in the range from the power armoured Retained Knights to the clam shell armoured Muster troops and the Plantetary Militia.  There are also the Marcher Barons and Errant Knights plus super heavy Desteria Armour kits.  The Khanate Empire has its legionaries and pioneers as well as Drop Troops in powered armour and mighty Warlords. Lastly Betrayer Humans for urban skirmish and the Malig Space Goblins.  See them all HERE.

You will still get two additional free miniatures in every value platoon pack.  That will not change.

Cesare Borgia on foot and mounted 15mm scale released

Alternative Armies in support of the expanding Renaissance range is delighted to present the first of our 'MRP' series of 15mm scale personalities of the period.  Who better to begin this than with one of the most infamous persons of the age Cesare Borgia.  Go HERE for the range or read on for more information.

Born in 1475 the son of a cardinal in a wealthy and powerful family Cesare Borgia was in his mid twenties when his father became Pope (Alexander VI).  After becoming a cardinal himself he then became Captain General of the Papal Army and married in 1499.  Made Duke of the Valentinois his main task in his new role was to try and restore effective papal control of the Papal States, and at the same time create a base for a Borgia dynasty in the Romagna. He also conquered the duchies of Umbria and Emilia. His conquests were greatly aided by the French, who contributed troops for his conquests of Imola and Forli and his battles in Rimini, Pesaro and Faenza. He also accompanied the French during their 1501 invasion of the kingdom of Naples. Cesare gained a reputation for ruthlessness, demonstrated when he murdered his sister Lucrezia's second husband, illegitimate son of the King of Naples who had become a political embarrassment. In 1503 Alexander died. Cesare had hoped to create a hereditary principality in central Italy, but his illness meant that he was unable to compete with his father's rival Giuliano della Rovere. In 1503 della Rovere became Pope Julius II. Cesare was removed from all of his posts, lost control of his fortresses, and was forced into exile. Cesare died in a fight in 1507.  

Cesare became the model for Machiavelli's Prince, portrayed as a man of brilliant ruthlessness but dubious achievements. He was also a patron of the arts, employing Leonardo de Vinci as an architect, engineer and city planner.

MRP01 Cesare Borgia (Foot and Mounted)

This code contains three miniatures in 15mm scale.  Cesare Borgia on foot and as a rider along with a horse. A personality miniature to use any game system or to add to your collection.  Use him in Furioso!  Supplied unpainted.  Go HERE.
