58021 Kitoka Ashigaru Matchlocks released for Kitton range

The twelfth pack in the expanding 28mm fantasy Kitton range is here and gives some black powder bang to the Catfolk.  There are now some forty poses in the range covering Ashigaru, Samurai, Ronin all with various weapons as well as Villagers and Jigoku the Giant Oni one of the largest models we make. Go HERE.

Part of the wider Flintloque setting of the World of Valon the Kitoka are on track to get their own setting and core rules during 2022 as projects have now resumed at Alternative Armies. 

58021 Kitoka Ashigaru Matchlocks: This pack contains four different poses of Catman in Ashigaru armour with separate sword bundle and back banner armed with a Japanese style Tanegashima matchlock musket.  You can choose from pack or poses with in it using the lettered poses in the picture.  As with all other Valon miniatures these are supplied with our resin cartouche bases for free.

Kitoka are about the size of Dwarves such as the Legion de Nain and the Von Rotte Legion and are shorter than Undead such as our 55508 Zombie Line..presently we know of no encounters between the Catfolk of the Shogun and the shamblers of the Dark Czar...

Jigoku is a legend.  A terrible and feared legend among the Kitoka for though almost all Oni are larger than they are Jigoka is the largest of all.  The ground shakes as this giant monster walks and it swings its Kanabo leveling bridges and buildings with ease.  Only the greatest Samurai will face the lord of destruction!

58020: A very large and highly detailed resin kit model. When assembled this Giant Oni stands about 100mm tall and as a small degree of pose choice as well. It carries a Kanabo Spiked Club (90mm long from end to end). Composed of six pieces this model is easy to put together and is durable as it is meant for tabletop use. Shown for scale with 58009B Ronin for scale only.

Thank you for your Time,

Ashigaru Archer Catfolk released for Kitton

Four new 28mm Catfolk now in the growing Kitton range at Alternative Armies.  We continue to make releases for the range though slower than expected for 2020 for reasons you will know of (as with happened with the Erin Project) but this new pack takes us up to thirty seven poses plus a giant oni all sculpted by Sam Croes out leader designer.  There are more coming in 2021 and we thank you for your kind words on this new expansion to the World of Valon.  We have Samurai, Ashigaru, Ronin and Villagers.  Each pack can be had on page as single poses too.  Go HERE for the range.

A unique array of 28mm scale fantasy Japanese miniatures in the same vein as our Todoroni, Ratmen, Rabbitmen and others though these Kitoka live in a land of warring Diamyo and vicious monsters cut off from the rest of Valon.  Welcome to the islands of Kitton!

58017 Kitoka Ashigaru Bows. This pack contains four different 28mm scale metal Kitoka Catmen miniatures of an average height of 23mm. The Ashigaru are the foot soldiers of the warlords of Kitton and are armoured carrying a Bow and Quiver of Arrows. They are soldiers for your forces.

While no game rules exist for the range there are plans to field test a version of the Flintloque 3rd edition engine with a Kitton setting.  This project is currently on hold but will resume next year.

Almost all of the Kitoka are warriors but as the range expands more townsfolk and villagers, as above, as well as yokai (monsters) will make an appearance.

One of the largest models in Alternative Armies array of thousands of miniatures.  The Kitoka face Oni all the time as they fight the strange monsters and also each other. But, among the Oni there is one whose name strikes fear into the bravest of Catfolk. A giant called Jigoku!  The model is over 100mm tall and carries a Kanabo Spiked Club (90mm long from end to end).  See him in the range HERE.

Alternative Armies is currently working on its plans for next year.  The first year in the new roaring twenties!  Alongside Flintloque, High Fantasy and other projects and titles there is provisional news on Kitton for you.  We will be continuing our promise to release at least one new code into the range each month.  We are going to continue to fill out the military poses of the Samurai and the Ashigaru building towards skirmish section sized forces.  The islands of Kitton will see the first packs of civilians and specialised poses following up on the Ronin which will include female Kitoka.  It is planned to introduce some of the Yokai and creatures to this more Magicke land as well.  Lastly once the range reaches a sufficient size I will be penning a Kitton version of Flintloque the Skirmish which will likely be along the lines of 5024 Escape the Dark Czar meaning a beginning place for the game.  We have been so pleased with the response to this new land that we are sticking full with it.  If you have a question or want to suggest something for Kitton please do so by email to sales@alternative-armies.com and I will come back to you.

A special treat for you now as an end to this article.  There were a series of lovely photos taken over the last couple of months and only two of these have been seen so far.  So here they all are now.  If you view these on our blog you can click on each to make them much large.  All of the miniatures are in the KITTON RANGE.

First Samurai and Ashigaru Catmen released for Kitton!

The new fantasy Catmen of Kitton expands this time with two new packs added to the existing eight poses.  We introduce the first four Ashigaru and first four Samurai!

Far from Urop and beyond the Mordredian Wars away from the battle between the Ferach Empire and the alliances against it is a land almost sealed off from the rest of Valon. Sealed by fate and by the tumult caused by the shattering of the bonds of Wylde Magicke.  This land is called Kitton home of the Kitoka.  The Kitoka lived in harmony with the mountainous land around them and under the sway of the strange creatures which inhabited its forests, streams and fields but that was before the great war. Started by the shattering of the laws of Wylde Magicke this war brought chaos to Kitton and great tumult in nature.  This war ended with the titanic battle of Sekimeowara which saw the Kitoka victorious against arrayed magicke creatures.  The war resulted in the rule of the Tiddlesgawa Shogunate.  The feline Kitota live in a rigid society topped by the Daimyo lords then the Samurai warriors, the Ashigaru soldiers below them then the merchants and peasants and the outcast Ronin most lowly of all.  Skirmishes between Daimyo are common as are bandit raids and attacks by monstrous yokai too.  Welcome to Kitton!

If you missed the news last month when this new expansion to the World of Valon began then please read the article in full on our BLOG. Kitton has its own page on our website where all miniatures, articles, links and so forth will appear.  Visit it HERE.

58011 Kitoka Ashigaru Yari

This pack contains four different 28mm scale metal Kitoka Catmen miniatures of an average height of 23mm.  The Ashigaru are the foot soldiers of the warlords of Kitton and are armoured while carrying a spear called a Yari. Each is supplied with a separate sword bundle.  They are soldiers for your forces.  Choose from a pack or single poses.

58012 Kitoka Samurai Katana

This pack contains four different 28mm scale metal Kitoka Catmen miniatures of an average height of 23mm.  These Samurai are the life long warriors of Kitton who command respect from all around them.  They are heavily armoured and each is supplied with a separate sword bundle and separate back banner.  These are superior soldiers for your forces.  Choose from a pack or single poses.

Kitton a new 28mm range of Fantasy Catmen begins!

Alternative Armies is delighted to bring to you a new expansion to the World of Valon.  Kitton!
See all articles for this range on our blog by clicking HERE.

Far from Urop and beyond the Mordredian Wars away from the battle between the Ferach Empire and the alliances against it is a land almost sealed off from the rest of Valon. Sealed by fate and by the tumult caused by the shattering of the bonds of Wylde Magicke.  This land is called Kitton home of the Kitoka.  The Kitoka lived in harmony with the mountainous land around them and under the sway of the strange creatures which inhabited its forests, streams and fields but that was before the great war. Started by the shattering of the laws of Wylde Magicke this war brought chaos to Kitton and great tumult in nature.  This war ended with the titanic battle of Sekimeowara which saw the Kitoka victorious against arrayed magicke creatures.  The war resulted in the rule of the Tiddlesgawa Shogunate.  The feline Kitota live in a rigid society topped by the Daimyo lords then the Samurai warriors, the Ashigaru soldiers below them then the merchants and peasants and the outcast Ronin most lowly of all.  Skirmishes between Daimyo are common as are bandit raids and attacks by monstrous yokai too.  Welcome to Kitton!

We introduce to you the latest expansion in the World of Valon.  It is rather different in flavour for though it occurs at the same time as the rest of the 4th Age of Valon it is distant to the Power Ring and science.  We begin with two packs of Kitoka Ronin.  Outcast former Samurai who are perfect core for your building band of characters.  Highly detailed metal 28mm scale miniatures depicting Japanese inspired Catmen sculpted by our lead designer Sam Croes.  From these two packs totalling eight miniatures we will be releasing more codes each month as we populate the islands of Kitton. Go HERE. These are the new miniatures!

In much the same manner as Flintloque itself came into being we will be growing the Kitton range before we release a beginners set similar to 5024 Escape the Dark Czar.  It is our intent to get to the beginners set and then beyond it with soldiers, civilians, female miniatures and monsters too.  Skirmish gaming is the aim.  I know what you are thinking next...mass battle and yes we have factored in units to lead to a 5030 Slaughterloo level of play.  It is a long term project but much like our first Contender GNAT 15mm mech which is a first with more to follow and new game books such as Doom Squad with titles to come Alternative Armies is committed to tabletop gaming!

Kitton has its own new page on our website where all miniatures, articles, links and so forth will appear.  Visit it HERE.

Lastly as you may know Alternative Armies offers pro-painted and based miniatures ready to ship on our website. Our talented team of ladies here in Scotland add codes to their pages on the site weekly and right now they have limited stock of these two new Kitton packs just released. If you want your figures ready to use out of the box at a great price see HERE.
