Dogman mounted Field Marshal released for Flintloque and Slaughterloo

Now released a great generic officer for use in any Dogman Nation or allied army in skirmish and mass battle. See it in the Army of Ostaria or the Army of Pudigrochumsberg and the Confederation of Finklestein now or read on for more.

56118 Dogman Mounted Field Marshal. This code contains one mounted miniature which is composed of a senior Dogman officer with separate pointing arm and a running Dogman Horse with plain saddle blanket.  28mm scale metal miniatures.  Go HERE.

This release is a new rider and a new horse.  The horse is based upon the 56524 Horse used by most Dogmen Cavalry but it is in metal rather than resin and has a plain saddle cloth making it very adaptable for different uniform colours. As a generic character the Field Marshal can be created using the game rules in 5028 Beir & Bones as well as 5030 Slaughterloo and fashioned as you wish into your section or command structure.   

If you fancy getting into Flintloque then check out our Begin in Flintloque page where the 5024 Escape the Dark Czar beginners set can be had as well as many free downloads and scenarios.

Mummies now released in HOT 15mm Fantasy Range

“When the tomb was opened the ranks of spearmen were shocked and then terrified when out of the darkness of its sandy strewn depths came a shambling mass of mummified Undead. Wrappings dragged the ground and several of the creatures collapsed on desiccated legs finally giving way after aeons.  Arms outstretched the mummies came for the living.”

A new pack in the HOT 15mm Fantasy range for fans of any game system and as with all the other codes in HOT you can have a pack or a sampler option meaning battle and skirmish level options.  Go HERE.

HOT129 Mummies: This code contains sixteen metal 15mm scale miniatures in four different poses of bandaged wrapped Undead.  Shown on 20mm square bases (not supplied).

You can see all of the Undead in the range HERE in a refined search.  A Mummy next to a HOT104 Anti-Paladin in full armour and the mighty VNT32 Splendorous Djinn (in one of its own supplied weapon choices) which stands 55mm tall.  Also HOT36 Wraith Cavalry and HOT114 Wraiths.

New 15mm Grey Aliens grav skimmer and portable weapon platforms

Two new packs in the HOF 15mm Science Fiction Range and the growing Grey Alien Army.  Following up on last month with the Arachnid Suits and before that the Lift Disc Riders and four new packs of infantry the Greys are a force to be reckoned with with more than fifty poses.  From the mind of veteran wargamer Fred Richards in partnership with Alternative Armies.  Go HERE for the range or HERE for a narrower result of all the Grey Aliens.

Your infantry need a light vehicle for fire support and some bigger guns to back them up when taking on the pesky Humans (such as the Security Force Alpha troopers, portable weapon platform and Charger APC pictured) and the flying saucers are out of range.  Check these out!

HOF153 Grey Alien Portable Weapons Platform. This pack contains two Grey Alien crew as well as a floating portable weapon platform and five different weapons to mount upon it are included.  You can also choose to get the gunners on their own, or a platform with five weapons only, or a platform with no weapons too on our website.  Go HERE.

HOF154 Grey Alien Grav Skimmer. This pack contains a circular platform which floats and have a gun rail running around its circumference.  Also two Grey Alien gunners each holding a weapon which fits to the gun rail.  A fine light support vehicle.  In our images the skimmer is 40mm tall and 35mm wide. Go HERE.

While our GNATS are giant mecha in the service of Humanity there is also a war machine of size which can be put alongside your Grey Aliens.  HOF142 Mecha X1 comes with two head options and stands 90mm tall.

Laserburn videos a book review and a miniatures review

The venerable Laserburn 15mm science fiction range has been a corner stone of the scale and genre since the dawn of the 1980's and Alternative Armies has managed to get every miniature and vehicle as well as many of the print titles back into the world.  Go HERE for the range.  

In this update I am delighted to present two videos which were brought to my attention in the last few weeks and I have now had time to watch and enjoy.  Check them out and leave a comment or a like in your wake.

Kitsune released for 15mm Sengoku Japanese Fantasy

New miniatures sculpted by John Bell in the biggest 15mm selection of Japanese myth inspired fantasy in the world.  Over one hundred and fifty poses in the range and growing.  A pack and single choices as always with Sengoku.  Go HERE.

Stories depict legendary foxes as intelligent beings and as possessing paranormal abilities that increase as they get older and wiser. According to folklore, all foxes have the ability to shape shift into human form. While some speak of Kitsune employing this ability to trick other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives. The more tails a Kitsune has the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence.

SGFP44 Wild Kitsune. This pack contains six mixed miniatures of three types.  Wild Magical Foxes with multiple tales capable of magical feats. The mix of poses is even. Taken from codes SGF154,155 and SGF156.  This pack offers a saving off single purchase. Singles under their codes are on the website.

While you can use the Sengoku range of miniatures for any game in this scale there is an excellent game system at Alternative Armies which uses these miniatures.  Two books written by Steve Danes (he of Furioso and Doom Squad). In PRINT or a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD at a twenty percent less.

Sengoku Monster Hunter.  A game for one to four players set in medieval Japan where monsters and creatures of myth roam the jagged crags and hidden valleys of the Sacred Mountain. It is from the Sengoku setting and has merciless hunters who track down the monsters and slaughter them at every opportunity. Who you Play. Hunters are the players characters in the game. Each hunter has a profile of attributes, skills and special abilities that players can improve if their hunters are successful. 

Sengoku Rampage. Rampage is the second book in the Sengoku Monster Hunter series; the game set in a mythical Japanese past of fierce monsters and even fiercer monster hunters. This is a supplement to the original rules and it provides much more material for playing Sengoku Monster Hunter. It's features are: More Monsters More Encounters. New Hunters and Clans.

Von Rotte Legion Dwarf divisional army pack for Slaughterloo and Flintloque

The miniature range for The World of Valon (Flintloque and Slaughterloo and more) is huge and when it comes to mass battle we have a full array of 'DAPs' (Divisional Army Packs) for all of the armies that fight in the Mordredian Wars.  We are updating the imagery of these DAP's.  The new photos of this division and the units which make it up come from our painting studio which produces many thousands of pro-painted and based miniatures each year to a fine tabletop quality and great price.  You can see our current painted and ready to ship stock of units, sections, characters, specials and more for the World of Valon HERE (the stock is updated every week).  What you see is what you are buying and most items are a stock level of one.

Swearing an oath of fealty to the Elvish Emperor Mordred the Baron Von Rotte was given command not only of his own soldiers but also some of those belonging to the Emperor in his wars against Krautia and Ostaria. A veteran in the truest sense the Baron has been at war since the Darke Age and is a master of battle.  Atop his pummilig pig ‘Bristle’ he serves up the mead of victory to Mordred. The Dwarf legions of the Red Baron are among the most experienced troops in Urop and it shows. Rushed from region to region, the regiments of foot along with the famous grenadiers and the cavalry take on foes that lesser troops would shy away from. The legions are an all arms force which also includes artillery. You can see the full range HERE.

52603 Von Rotte Legion Dwarf Division.  Save 15% off list price of every miniature in this division and it comes with free bases for every model within it too.  There are a dozen images of each part of this code which you can see by clicking through them on the page.  They get larger if you put your cursor over them.

Additionally the digital version of the massive 5030 Slaughterloo book is just 20.00GBP for immediate purchase and reading upon download.  Go HERE for this and the book in print and all of the other divisional army packs.

It is well worth the dedicated Flintloque player to consider the purchase of a Divisional Army Pack as the full units within it can also act as Sections in the skirmish level game. This is common with players using a full DAP to make up a half dozen large Sections on foot and cavalry as well as a cannon and crew plus officers and casualty markers.  All with a 15% saving on single figure purchases and free bases too.
