Planetary Archivist Garren Madwon in two scales free in all orders until 26th June

“Garren Madwon serves as a guardian of knowledge across the known galaxy. His beautifully sown robes signify his revered status while the astrotech staff is a multi-functional tool capable of accessing ancient data archives, projecting holographic star charts or even defending against threats. His helmet with a visor connects him to a wide neural network, allowing interface with planetary databases or to scan alien artefacts in real-time. He travels between worlds preserving history and uncovering lost technologies. Garren is a bridge between the past and the future.”

This new free in all orders code is a first for Alternative Armies. The same character in two scales!  Yes, 28mm and 15mm versions of a sci-fi Human.  You get both automatically free in every order shipped out (no digital download only orders sorry) until 26th June 2025.  You need do nothing but order and as many orders as you desire.  You may also purchase one or other or both of the free miniatures and you will still get the pair free in the package.  

AS032 Planetary Archivist Garren Madwon: Two nearly identical metal miniatures in 28mm and 15mm scales which are both one piece.  Great for any sci-fi game system. A Human in robes laced with golden threads with an astrotech staff, neuro helmet and a holstered blast pistol The pair are one code and you may have the 28mm on its own as AS03228 in the Alternate Stars Range and the smaller one in the HOF 15mm Range as AS03215 if you desire.

With his astrotech staff this 28mm character will work as a specialist or a civilian or even a space opera monk on your table.  Above next to other Alternate Stars miniature a Star Merc and Info Bot as well as a Female Betrayer from the Ion Age and Psi Operative by Halcyon Miniatures.

Exploring alien worlds and recording their histories in 15mm scale gaming he can be a neuro-jacker or an interfacer with non-human technology. Above next to the SHM100 Security Droid as well as Security Force Alpha, Post Apoc Warrior and Rim Merc from the HOF Range.

The idea for Garren Madwon came from a pencil sketch by our dear friend Andy Gorman who is a talented chap and did (among other things) the cover art for HOF Fire Team written by Gav Syme and Bob Minadeo.  He has been rather under the weather so it was our pleasure to turn his sketch into a dual scale metal reality!

It has been a year since Halcyon Miniatures partnered up with Alternative Armies and to celebrate until 2nd June 2025 we have three offers on that range. See the ARTICLE for full details but in essence buy three figures get one free, buy a set get that one and another free and buy all the sets get the mighty Gnawbuck Mutagen plus two miniatures free.

Thanks for your Time.

Free article Skeletrov Cossacks for Flintloque and Slaughterloo

Part one of two World of Valon articles to enjoy; next week for the other.  Following the recent release of the 55524 Skeletrov Cossacks we present the ‘Uniformation’ article for these bone riders for use in Flintloque and Slaughterloo.  Giving you their uniforms, game statistics and more.  See and download here or head for the Free Downloads page for everything for every system we publish.

Like a cloud of glittering snowflakes the cossack riders of the Dark Czar hound the Grande Armee du Norde circling ever around its trudging troops.  Skeletons and Zombies drawn from all over the vastness of the Witchlands dressed in a multitude of colours and atop silent dead mounts. The Skeletov Cossacks are numerous and remorseless on the battlefield sweeping in on isolated groups and putting them to the sword.  They are hunters and chasers. 

The Skeletal Cossacks follow up on the Moskova Volunteers expanding the ranks as we move towards an entire new division of the dead to oppose the Emperor Mordred and his Elves.

55524 Skeletov Cossacks: This code contains five different 28mm scale metal Skeletal riders and five Skeletal Horses.  Dressed in robes these Cossacks of the Donne are armed with curved sabres with bone hilts.  An officer with pistol, musician with horn, standard bearer with pole and two poses of trooper.  

The horses are supplied with two pieces (55524H) easily assembled. As with all larger codes you can choose from the set of five riders with five horses or a unit of ten with a saving or a single pose with horse. Supplied with our resin cartouche style bases. 

Uniformation Skeletov Cossacks:  A two page PDF with game rules for Flintloque and Slaughterloo. CLICK HERE to Download or visit the Free Downloads page for this and a vast array of free resources. 

Get into Flintloque by taking the side of Mordred or the Dark Czar…. 5026 Death in the Snow.

The second article to come is a full size solo or two player Flintloque scenario which sees a patrol of hungry and tired Elf Dragoons having to drive off Cossacks before the infantry following them draw near....in Another Dawn...

Thanks for your Time.

Wheeled Gremlins four new 15mm Ion Age vehicles

“We reached the Star Port and I have never seen such a sight before and hope never to again.  It had been a damn hard fight to push the Styx Legion out of the Northern Sector and it had cost us dear.  Over six hundred killed and wounded but had it not been for the moth rotary cannons on our Gremlin AFV’s it would have been much higher. The rubbacrete pads were intact but strewn with bodies, so many bodies; not all of them intact.  The Legionaries do not provision the Maligs so they tend to their own needs.  Vermin.  We sought them out and took our vengeance for those civilians.  It seemed the enemy plan had been to bring a Dragonship down on the main pad. We aimed to stop that.” Captain Abraham Tull, 48th Planetary Defence Regiment, Northern Sector.  4346 IC.

Following on the heels or should that be skirts of the new Gremlin family of vehicles in their hover variants and the treads of four tracked variants we now release the final four which are wheeled of this medium vehicle. The Gremlin gives Planetary Militia, Grima and sometimes Muster added mobility and firepower that out classes the smaller Adder for weaponry and outpaces the much heavier Mullo classes of transport.  These are all our 15mm Ion Age releases for April and May.

Four page free Patrol Angis download article covering Adder Combat Tankettes as well as lifter type Hazelwurm and Colabreta Carriers. All the variants of the steadfast Mullo Armoured Fighting Vehicle and most requested all of the variants of the new Gremlin Medium Vehicles. Go to the WEBSITE or click HERE to get it direct from our server.  Fits right into Callsign Taranis.

IAF187A Gremlin AFV Wheeled with Bodkin AP Cannon (and Valerin) and hull turret

IAF187B Gremlin MSV Wheeled with Anda Missile Pods Turret and hull turret

IAF187C Gremlin APC Wheeled Personnel Carrier with hull turret

IAF187D Gremlin ACV Armoured Command Vehicle with command turret and hull turret

If you are new to the 15mm Ion Age range then our suggestion is to begin with the Patrol Angis book or game pack with miniatures, battlesuits and bases with a saving.  Once you are ready to progress from infantry level skirmish and want to add vehicles then seek out Callsign Taranis for this. The greatest foe of Humanity is the alien Shia Khan Empire.  In the third book of the series The Khanate Return you can add these aliens as well as Grima and Planetary Militia forces to your play in the Camarthen Prime campaign.  Books in print and as digital download.

The 15mm Ion Age Range contains many hundreds of miniatures as packs (choose single poses within them) and platoon packs which come with an extra free unique miniature.  Added fun!  Get Retained Knights, Destria Knights, Muster, Planetary Militia as well as Malig Goblins, Legionaries, Pioneers and much more such as each of the twenty variants of the mighty Taranis Main Battle Tank which all come with a free pack of drones included. See the ‘Filter By’ box on page to refine your look at the mighty range.

Thanks for your Time.

Moskova Volunteers 20 new Undead Flintloque miniatures and more...

Often effective when used en-masse the Skeletons of the Moskova Volunteers are poor troops but they are effective against lesser mortal enemies such as enemy Militia or Landwehr. They operate in sections of about twenty armed with Standard Carbines or Dwarf MkI Muskets officers are typically Ghouls with sword. Their uniform consists of various civilian clothing along with some odd bits of military equipment, browns and blue are common.  They are legion and also have supporting artillery and other arms.

A huge end to the year for Flintloque and Slaughterloo plus the last regular releases of 2024 and the Winter Mega Event too. Added to the Army of the Witchlands are twenty new poses as packs (with single choices within them) and a twenty eight pose Slaughterloo unit with saving of all poses. In 28mm scale and metal with included resin free bases we present the Skeletons of the damned, the fleshless and the worn out...the ‘volunteers’.

55028 Moskova Volunteer Muskets: This pack contains the more ‘fortunate’ Skeletons of the Militia armed with captured Ferach Muskets.  Single poses are A to D as shown on the page.

55029 Moskova Volunteer Melee:  The former villagers and townfolk of the Witchlands are in this pack armed with hand weapons.  Single poses are A with Axe, B with pitchfork, C with bladed staff and D with wooden mallet as found on the page.

55030 Moskova Volunteer Command:  It is the lowest of roles in the Army of the Dark Czar to command the militia but still it must be done.  This pack contains four poses which are Ghoul Officer (A), low ranking KGB Liche (B) and two Skeletons armed with muskets and wooden mallets (C and D).  The office and liche can be used with other formations such as Zombie Line (55508).

55031 Moskova Volunteer Colour Party:  As the battalions of the skeletal volunteers advance it is to the sound of rattling drums and the vision of ragged flags.  This pack contains a standard bearer (A), a drummer (B), a Sergeant (C) and lastly with pose D a hopping mad private missing a leg using its musket as a crutch.

55032 Moskova Volunteer Pikes:  This pack contains skeletons who are better armed than the worst but not possessing firelocks.  Two poses with pikes (A and B) and two poses with axe bladed polearms (C and D).  Typically Militia formations will have many more pikes, blades and melee weapons rather than muskets.

55523 Moskova Militia Skeletons:  This full Slaughterloo Unit contains twenty eight miniatures along with their bases included free. There is a saving off packs and singles in the unit.  Led by a Ghoul Officer with KBG Liche and full colour party as well as skeletons with muskets, pikes, axes and more.  A total of twenty different poses with eight further troopers added for the total unit.  See 5030 Slaughterloo for game rules. Codes contained are: 55030,55031,55028, 55029, 55032.

Here are some side by side pictures of other codes in the Witchlands next to the new Skeletons.  General Bardaghul as well as Stalinov and the Zombie Colour Party Sergeant.

World of Valon News for December

Any adventure in the Witchlands starts with the Flintloque beginners set 5024 Escape the Dark Czar which contains ten miniatures, core rules and more giving you General Saindoux and setting off on the Retreat from Moskova.  There are many free scenarios and more as links at the top of the Begin in Flintloque page.  Once you are confident of the game or you wish to go in with the full rules and setting then you will want 5026 Death in the Snow or its SSP02 Shilling Starter Pack.  Adventures are boundless in the barren frozen wastes of the Witchlands.

There are some treats coming during December for the World of Valon. Three articles to read, to play and to enjoy which each involves the Moskova Volunteers.  Each will be announced and given freely.  A free full size Flintloque scenario for two players or solo play which sees General Saindoux and his band of survivors surprised by a numerically superior Undead force. A ‘Uniformation’ expanding the game rules and statistics for the Witchlands Volunteers as well as Undead Cossacks in Slaughterloo as well as Flintloque. Lastly over on Orcs in the Webbe a solo play simple game in which an Elvish Drummer Boy has a bad night trying to evade Skeletons among petrified trees.  Great fun!

Thanks for your Time.

IAF184 Burgeon Retained Bike new 15mm Ion Age with Patrol Angis rules

“Among the ranks of the Retained Knights you will find the Burgeon. These knights are as adamant about the Code Gallant as any other but they take upon themselves an additional vow of loyalty that is beyond the duty of any others. For the Burgeon are the masters of the steeds. They are the riders of an animal which has no heart or legs but rather instead has an engine and thrusters which beat with as much if not more power than any creature's could. The Burgeon ride into battle upon the semi-sentient Ventus Model Steeds a unique type of repulsar and other bikes.” Academy Auto-Trainer Series 02, New Glastonbury, 4308 IC

Our last 15mm sci-fi release of the year is here and is roaring into sight.  The new Burgeon wheeled bike (Ventus Model 407 Steed) is added to the range.  You can see it above with a hulking Afara Strider in the livery of the Prydian Army.

IAF184 Burgeon Wheeled Bike: The Retained riders of the semi-sentient steed the Ventus. A sleek and speedy vehicle. The Regiments of the Prydian Army and the Marcher Barons alike has platoons that are mounted on bikes for added mobility and fire power.  Few have the reliability and rugged survivability as the Model 207. Used for scouting missions as well as battle roles it is popular with its riders. With this set you can depict the bike in action or idle or the rider on foot for maximum flexibility. Great for skirmishing and then combining with other Prydian codes for larger formations and battles.

This code comprises three different poses of 15mm scale resin miniatures. You can also purchase each pose from this code as a single miniature for maximum flexibility.  When selecting single poses they are numbered 1 through to 3, running left to right.

Ion Age Vehicles 2024 Winter Update for Callsign Taranis:  A six page game statistics download covering Gremlins, Mullos, Adders and more slots right into your game book. Download from our secure server. Go to the Free Downloads page for loads more Ion Age resources. This updated version contains game rules for the Ventus series of Retained Bikes.  Use them in Patrol Angis.

Get into Patrol Angis the fast paced skirmish game set during the Prydian Civil War.  Three different books and also a game pack with miniatures to get you started. Infantry level in the core book then add bigger vehicles with Callsign Taranis and then explore the war against the aliens with The Khanate Return.

Check out all the BIKES in the massive 15mm Ion Age Range on ‘filter by’ search.  You can use this feature to trim down what you see so that looking for SHIA KHAN or GRIMA ROBOTS for example the website will show you all of these.  With nearly two hundred codes to choose from it can be daunting.  Also within each code you can choose the pack or singles from it.

Thank you for your Time.
