The Ikwen Uprising 15mm Kickstarter underway now

Loud Ninja Games has a second Kickstarter ending July 1st 2019 now running to expand the well loved Ikwen.  Ikwen are alien freedom fighters who fit right into any science fiction setting.  Go HERE to see and learn more and we hope you decide to pledge to see these new packs come to life.

Alternative Armies manufactures and sells Loud Ninja Games miniatures from here in Scotland.  We shall also be the people behind the molding and production of the Ikwen Uprising upon its funding.  We will be sending out all pledges to the UK and Europe while Eli the chap behind Loud Ninja Games will be handling the North American backers.  You can see the existing codes as well as the existing Ikwen on our website HERE.

This Kickstarter campaign comes from the heart from a talented life long wargamer and roleplayer who has a vision of creating a 15mm scale story of an alien world called Kwiell.  A modest funding target offering good value.  Work is currently underway on RAP047 Ikwen with Assault Rifles pack two.  Sculpted by Sean Harrison.

There is a mighty fine vehicle included in this project which I am looking forward to getting on the table.  Alternative Armies has taken on the role of sculpting this vehicle and all of its variants.  Cool!

To keep up to date with what Loud Ninja Games is doing we suggest following their Facebook page HERE.  You can also join the Alternative Armies Tabletop Wargaming Group on Facebook HERE for all of our latest news.

Loud Ninja Games Event twenty percent off entire range and tell us your desires!

Manufactured in Scotland under license by Alternative Armies is the boutique 15mm range created by Eli Arndt called Loud Ninja Games.  This range of more than forty codes contains firm favourites among the 15mm science fiction wargaming community.  

From the Chuhuac Space Raptors to the Yandrassi Empire as well the Ikwen and Wasteland Mutants it is full of original ideas.  For the next week until 9am GMT Monday 11th February 2019 we have taken twenty percent (20%) off the entire LNG range (not the already discounted bundles such as the Archon Mecha kits) of packs.  Have a browse and see what you like HERE.

While we hope you enjoy this event we would also like to ask you for your input, your thoughts which we can then send onto Eli which will give him notions on what next to add to the range.  You can send an email to us on sales@alternative-armies.com, you can post on our Facebook Group, you can visit Loud Ninja Games own Facebook Page.  You can comment on our blog posting too.  We will collate it all and let Eli know!

One possible avenue of expansion is the Yandrassi Empire.  The Yandrassi in an interstellar empire made up of dozens of species presided over by the enigmatic and unseen, Yan. While most of these species contribute to the collective through economic means, several species make their contribution through military service. The bulk of the military is made up of the diminutive Neeks and the martial Tavshar. These aliens are supported by the brutish Horgosi.  Foremost among this empire's forces are the Tavshar Archons a series of sleek mecha.  Standing over 50mm tall with many pose options and head variants there are six different Archons including the Guardian armed with a massive energy sword and a shield.  What could be added to the miniatures in this part of the LNG Range?

Another possible route of growth is are the Ikwen.  Plucky aliens resisting a superior alien invasion of their home world Kwiell.  Armed with what they can create and also steal in a guerilla war the Ikwen have an infantry platoon as well as some superior fighters and terrain as well as wild beasts and farm animals.  There is plenty of scope for the Ikwen to grow.  More foot soldiers and perhaps some cavalry too and portable weapons.  Who are they fighting against and have any of those aliens come in person to help the Ikwen?  What could be added to the miniatures in this part of the LNG Range?

Lastly perhaps some more odd and weird codes could be set in motion such as those in the Alien Encounters and Wasteland Mutants.  There are Road Wardens, Rad Zombies and Wasteland Raiders as well as the Terrorclops and the Buddies.  Super Mutants with strange mental powers too.  What else could be brought to the post apocalyptic world as part of the LNG Range?  

Thanks for reading and enjoy the Event!

Loud Ninja Games releases the Zthruk among the Ikwen

"The Ikwen are one side of an asymmetric war against a higher tech, invading enemy. They fight in a less organized, militia style, utilizing acquired weapons, not of their of own manufacture." 

Over a generation ago, the planet Kwiell was set upon by aliens bent on exploiting the natural resources of the planet. The planet’s native population, the Ikwen, found themselves suddenly enslaved and their society rocked as they were enslaved, put to work and in many cases hunted and killed. The Ikwen have spent decades in frustrated servitude to these invading overlords. We see them as very much freedom-fighting indigenous life forms, use them as alien invaders, allies, mercenaries or even lower tech indigenous forces for more organized warfare.

A new release into the 15mm scale Loud Ninja Games range on its page at Alternative Armies. A mighty beast which comes from the Ikwen home world of Kwiell and fits in perfectly with these alien rebels who are trying to over throw an invading tyrannical yoke. Go HERE for the range or read on for more. 

RAP038 Zthruk 

This pack contains one 15mm scale white metal miniature supplied in three pieces which require a simple assembly. This beast stands 20mm tall to the head and can be used as a creature for any alien world or as an ally of the Ikwen. The Zthruk is a very powerful animal with a vicious temper which are hunted by the Ikwen while a few of the most noble Ikwen ride them into battle. All miniatures are supplied unpainted and without bases. Note that images depicting miniatures and codes other than those in this code are for reference and scale only and are not included. Miniatures manufactured and sold in agreement with Loud Ninja Games. Go HERE. 4.00GBP per pack.
