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

Freudrich von der Deckem released for Flintloque


Our last release for May 2016 is an Ogre character for the Ferach Empire in Flintloque and Slaughterloo.  Following up on the new Zombie Big Todoroni and the Baron Von Brewswick last time we present 56112 Freudrich Von der Dekem! Sculpted by Elton Waters and added to the Ogres of Finklestein and Hunvaria who fight for the Emperor Mordred. Go HERE or read on for more information and images.


56112 Freudrich Von der Dekem
This pack contains one white metal 28mm scale miniature.  A character Ogre officer who stands approx 40mm tall and is wearing the uniform of a senior Ferach Empire officer.  Freudrich comes from Furtfrank and fulfils a variety of specialised missions for the Army of Armorica most of which involve the capture of important enemies and extracting information from them by a combination of mind games and the use of his very large fists.  This has taken him into the Witchlands as well as Catalucia where he pursued the retreating forces of Surjon Moore towards Kooruna.   This miniature is supplied with a 30mm square resin base and can also be purchased pro-painted and based up ready for play by use of the drop down menu on the product page.  5.00GBP go HERE.



Below is a scale shot showing Freudrich Von der Dekem next to Promo2009 Elf Mailman which is 28mm tall.


There are many, many free files for Flintloque and the World of Valon which can be had from Alternative Armies as a list to select from upon free request by email to enquiries@alternative-armies.com or by being a member of the excellent Notables Yahoo Group.  You can find the group HERE and all you need do is apply to join and we will let you in.  There are hundreds of wargamers there as well as hundreds of files to read and discuss.

Last week I said there would be free inserts for new releases.  This is true and they will appear soon in their own article along with this updated list.  Not long now!
