Free Flintloque Zombie in every order this month plus September for us

Welcome to September 2020! What a month we have just had with twenty new releases. The autumn is starting and the summer is retreating and by an odd coincidence our new month long freebie also involves a retreat.  A 5024 Retreat from the Dark Czar.  We like to treat our customers as you will know and so all orders placed this month you will automatically get a 28mm scale Flintloque Zombie from the beginners set in your package.

5024 Escape the Dark Czar

The bitter retreat from Moskova is where you begin your adventure. Take command of General de Brigade Hugo Saindoux and his three fellow survivors as they attempt to evade death and escape from the Witchlands. On their heels are a group of Savant Zombies, the finest Undead in the ranks of the Dark Czar, who are led by Captain Preserovitch. Their task is to capture the golden eagle standard carried by the young Elven drummer boy Ayers Quinte de Toux. Will the survivors outwit the living dead? In this set is a twenty page booklet containing the core rules of Flintloque the Skirmish which will get you playing as well as character profiles and three introductory scenarios as well as the story of the Witchlands campaign. Written by Gavin Syme (GBS).

Ten high quality resin 28mm miniatures are in the set designed by Sam Croes. Four mortals (An Elf, young Elf, Dogman and Ogre) and six Savant Zombies. Ten bases for your miniatures and two percentile dice. All you need to get playing and to begin your adventures in Flintloque.

So this month you will get randomly chosen one of the six poses of Zombie in the beginners set added for free to your package (not digital orders sorry only those which ship out from Scotland).  Worth 2.50GBP and excellent to boost your skirmish forces especially if you decide to visit our page Begin in Flintloque which has free downloads and videos to watch as well.  

September at Alternative Armies

We will be having brand new miniatures as always and also some re-mastered classics as well.  These will include filling in some of the missing Harem poses in the Torture Chamber range before we get to the never seen before 'new' sets which complete the range.  The invasion of the Grey Aliens in the HOF range continues after the four new packs in August with two packs of 'more mobile' Greys.  A small release for Flintloque and Slaughterloo to add to the Todoroni..not meant to be cute but it really is!  New 15mm scale modern, post apocalyptic or science fiction scenics as well.  A customer request in the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range comes to life this month with a new cavalry pack.  The Orc Rock Band will have a new stage to perform upon and the missing Graviski Axe Zombie pack returns.  Articles will see two more Slaughterloo divisions detailed and Andy Jefcoate brings his latest Flintloque adventure.  Lots of fun to come!

While you cannot actually use this new release for games set in the World of Valon it may well be a must for those players who collect and field the Ferach Empire more specifically the Todoroni of Nepolise.  Staunch and indeed slimy allies of the Elves the Todoroni now boast a one tenth scale bust of a high ranked officer.  Go HERE or read on for more.

A most fine piece for your mantle or your table. This bust depicts a senior field officer of the Kingdom of Nepolise; a 'Generale' in flamboyant uniform and bicorne.

Come into the Bar Room we have the furniture all laid out

As the Summer Campaign event 2020 draws towards its close on 1st September we are happy to present to you the first codes from the classic 1980's scenic range 'The Bar Room' which we have brought back to the world.  Originally from Tabletop Games these 28mm pieces fit into any fantasy or historical setting as well as roleplay and dungeon crawl.  We shall be continuing with these codes as the year progresses. Go HERE.  This is what we have now.

The Oval Table, the Large Table, Long Bench Seat, Chair and Set of Shelves.  All of these are released as single codes and all save for the Shelves can be had in a bundle with a saving of about ten percent as well.  These pieces go excellently with the Wizards Workshop miniatures which are all in the Guild Room too.  Potions, Books, Scrolls, Bags & Capes.  You can see in the pictures here how well they suit.

Makes you want to go to the Pub eh!

RUFUS Android new for Alternate Stars range

Allow me to introduce RUFUS to you! This new addition to Alternate Stars is on our website now.  Go HERE for the range.

R.U.F.U.S stands for Robotic Unit Fighting or Utility Servant and this type of Android is deployed across the Star Empire to bolster troops.  It is also used by merc crews and brigantines as added muscle.  Over time their neural nets develop personalities. A larger model (40mm tall) in any game system of your choosing beyond our little snippet of possible setting.  Useful in 28mm and 15mm settings as a war droid or personality. Composed of a resin upper body, resin legs plus arm with fist and arm with double chain cannon in metal.

Scale shots against other Alternate Stars miniatures and an SFA Trooper from the HOF 15mm Science Fiction range.

We are well known for Flintloque for our High Fantasy Ranges for our Ion Age science fiction all in 28mm scale plus many more and as a long established company with a proven track record. Alternate Stars is totally generic (do you like the play on our name?) and each miniature has its own style and potential uses plus some of the characters draw their inspiration from other parts of Alternative Armies....can you spot them?  There are twelve other character poses plus a set of all twelve with a built in saving.  

Lastly there was an independent in depth review of the range made by Tabletop Games UK.  You can read it on their site HERE.

HOT29 Eagle Lord returns!

Earlier this year Alternative Armies greatly expanded the number of High Elves in the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range and this led to the removal of a classic pack for  re-mastering and new molds.  The Eagle Lord now returns to the nest ready to aid the forces of good.  Go HERE for the range.

“From atop their aeries the great Eagles look down upon the laid out lands.  Their eyes see far and their majestic wings cover leagues in minutes while their beaks can carry a man off in death or in rescue.”

HOT29 Eagle Lord

A three piece metal model easy to assemble which when built is about 40mm from bottom of rock pillar to top of wings.  A fine ally of an Elven Army or a creature in your games.  Go HERE.

As you can see the Eagle Lord goes really well with Elf Cavalry packs such as HOT9, HOT42, HOT43 and HOT116 Elf Cavalry Command.

Relatives of the mightiest of Eagles our Elves soar into battle atop their Eagle mounts.  This is HOT125 Armoured Elf Eagle Riders.

Something else which makes an Elvish statement is a Hero on a Wyvern!  This is HOT118.  You can 'filter by' on the range page to see only Elves or use the Search box with the given codes.

Grey Aliens sixteen new 15mm poses released

 We are delighted to now double the size of the Grey Alien forces in the HOF Range with these brand new releases.  Going from the original three packs and a flying saucer we have sixteen new poses of soldiers, abductors and overlords for your games.  Our thanks to veteran wargamer Fred Richards for his contributions to the new Greys.  Go HERE for the range or read on for more.

Grey Aliens are an enigmatic race of small, bulbous-headed, and highly intelligent aliens, the Greys are primarily scientists rather than soldiers, but sometimes come into conflict with other races when competing for resources, or when seeking to establish possession of a particular site for temporary and mysterious purposes. Their unauthorised experimental activities on live subjects who have usually been abducted can also provoke a hostile military response from races who have been subjected to such intrusions. Indeed, the Greys appear to regard the rest of the universe like their own enormous laboratory. More warlike races despise Grey reluctance to cause casualties, a sign of weakness, but the Greys have been reluctantly forced to train combat teams and actual soldiers as their ability to evade detection is declining. A Grey stands at approximately four feet in height and has light grey skin with black almond eyes and favours uniform suits of a silver and blue colour.

Each of the new packs can be had as a pack or as singles in any amount by choices on the page. Go HERE for the HOF Range.

HOF148 Grey Alien Soldiers II

A pack of ten Miniatures mixed of the following four poses.  Grey Alien Soldier walking with Ion Stubber gun (A), Grey Alien Soldier walking with Zap Death Ray Rifle (B), Grey Alien Soldier firing Zap Death Ray Rifle (C) and Grey Alien Soldier firing Ion Stubber gun (D).

A pack of ten miniatures mixed of the following four poses.

HOF150 Grey Alien Abductors

A pack of ten miniatures mixed of the following four poses. Grey Alien with optic aiming Energy Capture Matrix cannon (A), Grey Alien with Energy Capture Matrix cannon leveled (B), Grey Alien casualty face up (C) and Grey Alien casualty face down (D).  Abductors are tasked with bringing down and taking test subjects and prisoners back to high command. On occasions..some Greys are killed in the task. 

HOF151 Grey Alien Overlords

A pack of ten miniatures mixed of the following four poses. Grey Alien Overlord in cloak holding 'Hamlet MkIII' cyber skull (A), Grey Alien Overlord arms open wide (B), Grey Alien Guard in helmet with Energy Spear standing (C) and Grey Alien Guard in helmet attacking with Energy Spear (D).  Overlords command are are obeyed with psyker powers and fanatical personal guards.

Here is a scale picture of a Grey Alien overlord next to a Human trooper of the SFA (Security Force Alpha) and a tracked Charger APC. These popular codes let you see how tall a Grey is and additionally all of the bases are 20mm round resin from our Bases range.
