New Dogmen for Flintloque: Colour Party plus remastered Grenadiers and Chassuers

Huzzah! Alternative Armies presents all of the releases for the World of Valon for this month. Following up on the new colour party for the Dark Elf Line and for the Zombies of the Witchlands we have the same for the Dogmen Grenadiers and Chassuers.  

Greatly asked for and now here three new miniatures plus three remastered packs  (bringing their bases into alignment) which assemble into two big Slaughterloo codes too.  Go to the Dogmen of Ostaria or the Confederation of Finklestein as these figures work for both with a change of uniform.  All poses can be had as packs or single miniatures within them by selection on screen.  So if you have formations of Dogmen already and wish only to gain a number of drummers or standard bearers this can be done with ease.

56132 Gulash Colour Party:  This new pack contains three larger Dogmen which are a Sergeant with Axe, a Drummer and a Standard Bearer who are all bare headed.  These fit right in with 56010, 56011,56012 and are the command element in units of 56513 and 56514 too.

56010 Gulash Command

56011 16th Ostarian Line Grenadiers

56012 16th Ostarian Line Chassuers

The officer and one sergeant from 56010 plus the three miniatures from 56132 form the command element of 56513 Dogmen Grenadiers (56011 troopers) and 56514 Dogmen Chassuers (56012 troopers) and as with all Slaughterloo units there is a built in saving for a full unit and such a unit is also a full Flintloque section too.

You can find the rules for the Dogmen of Empire and Confederation in 5028 Beir and Bones for Flintloque and of course in 5030 Slaughterloo as well.  These Dogmen also accompanied the Emperor Mordred into the Witchlands and can be found fighting the Undead of the Dark Czar.  See 56594 Dogman Witchlands Line for campaign dress poses into which you can put these new miniatures.

If you visit our Begin in Flintloque page you can get started in the game with the 5024 Escape the Dark Czar set.  If you already play then the miniatures in that beginners set slot right into any Ferach Empire and Witchlands force.

Thanks for your time,

Zahnner Dogman Hussars released for Flintloque

 "A new regiment raised after the ruination of Pudigrochumsberg and outfitted for the ongoing war against Ostaria. They are fine riders and many of the troopers were taken from the depots of the Hundmorder Dragoons. Used for scouting and harassing the enemy the Zahnner are a fang in the side of the enemy."

A new cavalry unit for all players of Flintloque and Slaughterloo who have Pudigrochumberg or Confederation of Finklestein or even Ostarian Empire forces of Dogmen.  As with all codes you can choose from a pack or a single trooper or a full unit with a saving tailoring your collection.  These troops feature in 5028 Beir & Bones and 5030 Slaughterloo.

59598 Zahnner Dogmen Hussars

This code contains five different metal poses of 28mm scale Dogmen mounted on Horses.  An officer with hand raised, a musician with horn, a standard bearer and two poses of sword armed troopers all in the same hussar uniform.  When assembled they stand about 35mm to the eyeline.  Go HERE.

“A blackened and burned land is all that remains of the once thriving kingdom of Pudigrochumsberg the victims of the Ostarian Emperor Klaffenhund’s madness.  In an attempt to gain popularity during the Ferach Revolution the Emperor decided to test his newly uniformed in white and musket armed Dog soldiers against this prosperous nation.  The few ready corps of troops that the  Houndian King Bonio of Pudigrochumsberg could bring to battle were scooped up and binned after a few weeks of campaigning.  Klaffenhund the head of the Yapsburg dynasty would accept no surrender and ordered the sacking of every city in their land and sowed salt into the fields. King Bonio and several regiments escaped and sought refuge with the Elves becoming a small force sworn to destroy the Ostarians at any opportunity.  Some Pudigroan soldiers with  Finklesteiner assistance fight on in their  ravaged country in attempts to dislodge the Ostarians unfortunate enough to be assigned garrison duty in Pudigrochumsberg.” - The Ruined Kingdom of Pudigrochumsberg

Uniformation – The Army of Pudigrochumsberg

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.

Pre-Order the Von Mohnblume Dogman Pug line for Flintloque!

The big release for the World of Valon this month is the Von Mohnblume Line sculpted by the talented Rob Alderman.  A new species of Dogman in the service of the Empire of Ostaria...Pugs! Dwarf sized Dogmen which we are offering on pre-order at 15% off the release prices for a week before the full release. Choose from single poses, a skirmish pack or a full unit.  For Flintloque and Slaughterloo. General release is on Tuesday 29th August 2017 and all orders will ship then worldwide. When full release occurs we will have a Uniformation article and more to show you. Go HERE or read on for more.

The idea for this new species of Dogman came from a conversation with their designer earlier this year and we both thought it would be an excellent idea to put these little terrors into the World of Valon.  Mr Alderman has a real Pug of his own which was a great influence upon the style and look of these eight new poses.  If the Von Mohnblume Line proves to be a success and interest is there who knows where it will lead.  An artillery crew, a command set and perhaps even in time a full Slaughterloo division of Pug Dogmen.

56595 Von Monhblume Line

This set contains 28mm white metal miniatures including an officer with Sword and Pistol, Musician with Drum, Sergeant with Pike, Standard Bearer and four different poses of Dogmen all with muskets.  Dwarf sized 'Pug' type Dogmen standing around 23mm tall.  A small dutchy within the Empire of Ostaria and in the service of the mad Emperor Klaffenhund.  Or you can use them to portray any one of the multitude of tiny stattes in the Confederation of Finklestein.  You can choose from a skirmish pack of ten miniatures (all eight poses with two additional random trooper poses), a unit of twenty miniatures (the skirmish pack with ten additional mixed trooper poses and a small saving) and single miniature choice booster for additional trooper poses.  Sculpted by Rob Alderman. Supplied with Bases. Go HERE.

The image above shows a scale shot of a Pug Dogman next to an Elf taken from 5024 Escape from the Dark Czar beginners set for Flintloque.

Next week we will be putting up a full and free Uniformation article for use in Flintloque and Slaughterloo which will give background along with statistics and more for this small dutchy so that you can use them in play.  This will be homed on the blog here and linked up to our dropbox.  It goes live the day all the pre-orders ship out.

Chris Walkley is a long time impartial fan of Alternative Armies and was sent a sneak peek set of the Von Monhblume Line.  He has posted his thoughts along with his own now painted set on his Conflict Cornucopia blog.  You can go and read it HERE.  A real and honest review which I enjoyed a lot.

The Ostarian Dogman army of Simon Hutchinson

This short article and its pictures are a treat for players of Flintloque and Slaughterloo.  The owner of this wonderful Dogman army in the pay of the Emperor Klaffenhund sent me these images last year and what with one thing and another it has taken me until now to show them off on our blog.  So without further ado  here is Simon Hutchinson's Ostarian Army.  

Every image is followed by a short account of it and all the pictures were taken during a game of Slaughterloo in Australia between Mr Hutchinson and Mr Ward with his Orcish and Grand Alliance army (who took the day by the thinnest of margins I am told).

Ostarian Line Infantry advance along the road

A battery of Ostarian field guns prepare to fire!

Cavalry clash at the crossroads!

Hussars lay about themselves against enemy Orcs and Dwarves

The view from the Grand Alliance side of the battle

Orcish Dragoons are thinned as the Dogmen Hussars push ahead

Lethal Volley!  This adds to the mighty of the artillery shooting

The two armies lined up before plat commences

I think you will agree that the miniatures look lovely as does the gaming table with its terrain.  I really like the buzz and feel of the battlefield and it is to the players credit.  At the moment the Dog Army as shown consists of the following units and officers.

Emperor Klaffenhund 

General Wagsalittle

General Woofington

General Barksalot

General Digsabit

These are taken from the following codes if you wish to have a look on the Alternative Armies website and of course if you want Slaughterloo the rules you can have them as a digital download HERE.  LE020 Emperor Klaffenhund and 56510 Dogman Command.

1 unit of 12 Frei Corps Von Chum

2 units of 12 Frei Corps

7 units of 20 Line

1 unit of 20 Chasseurs

2 units of 20 Grenadiers 

2 units of 10 Cuirassiers 

2 units of 10 Hussars

4 Artillery Pieces each with 6 Crew

This sizable fighting force's troops are from among these codes roughly in order of the army account. 56504 Frei Corps Von Chum, 56516 Dogman Jagers, 56506 Dogman Line, 56514 Dogman Chassuers, 56513 Dogmen Grenadiers, 56508 Dogman Cuirassiers, 56509 Dogman Hussars plus 56512 Dogman Artillery Crew.  The guns themselves are mixed from 59502 Ferach Artillery Set.

Simon is planning on adding to this army as well as expanding out his Witchlands Undead army and more Ferach Empire too.  Big battles are ahead!

I wish to thank him for sharing these excellent pictures and the account of his Ostarian Slaughterloo Dogman army.
