Asgard FM Fantasy Range 1980's returns fourth round pt2

We return to regular work and news with three rather special 1980's metal monsters which includes my personal favourite restored thus far; the Death Demon.  The second part of the 4th round of remastered classic releases in the Tabletop and Asgard Fantasy Range.  Gone from the world for decades and now back.

In this wee bit of news we give you the big hitters.  Following up on the mighty FM19 Storm Giant and the FM23 Giant Slug these monsters work well in 28mm scale and will also work just fine in 15mm scale too.  Total height is from sole of foot to top of highest part of the figure. 

FM34 Death Demon (30mm total height)

FM28 V1 Drizzlebringer King of the Swamp Giants with Club (45mm total height)

FM38 Giant Lizardman with Hammer (50mm total height)

What if you would like your creatures to wreak some furniture on the gaming table?

Well we have you covered in the Guild Room Range of scenics.  Restored from the 1980's with some converted into resin with reduced prices and others corrected for slippage we have chairs, tables, bench seats, cauldron and other bits for your bar room.  Above you can see the chairs and tables from the range.

Thanks for your Time.

“The Savage Lizardmen are from a barbaric time and live in tribes.  Their armies shake the very ground as they advance.”

Our new release in the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range for this month adds more infantry to the growing army of Savage Lizardmen.  This infantry pack gives you blades to go with spears, warband and polearms.  Great for any game system.

HOT119 Savage Lizardmen Blades. This code contains 10 metal 15mm scale miniatures in the following poses randomly and evenly selected: Lizardman screaming challenge with Sword and Shield, Lizardman advancing with Sword and Shield, Lizardman standing with Sword and Shield, Lizardman issuing challenge with Sword and Shield. As with all HOT 15mm Fantasy codes you can purchase one pack or you can choose a sampler which gives you one of each pose of miniature from this pack; a great way to try or to make skirmish forces with HOT. Each miniature is about 16mm tall and heavily muscled.  Go HERE.

Here are the new blades alongside our Anti Paladins, evil humans in plate armour, on foot and mounted (HOT104 and HOT132) for scale.

The Savage Lizardmen army!  As well as sixteen poses of infantry there is a Behemoth and Lizard Ogres as well as Artillery and the Iganosaur too. See them in battle above against our Giant Slugs from Tabletop Miniatures code 549.  It is our intention to create a HOTT 2nd Edition army for these cold blooded fighters and that will happen once the cavalry and command is in place late in 2021 hopefully.

TSF60 Gorgory giant lizardman classic model released

Alternative Armies is delighted to announce the return of a re-mastered 1980's classic science fiction model by Tabletop Games.  Not seen in decades and among the last codes in the range the Gorgory follows up on the Szithk Warbirds and this giant lizardman works in 28mm and 15mm scales. Go HERE for the Asgard and Tabletop Science Fiction range.

We are continuing the work to locate and restore the codes in these ranges.  Many models now only exist in the wild as their molds are lost.  Our deepest thanks to Mark Stevenson for his input in this restoration. Now onto the pistol wielding cool!

TSF60 Gorgory: Returned to production for the first time since the 1980's this classic kit provides you with a big mean Lizardman with wings and an energy pistol.  Great for any system. Composed of the body with head and legs and arm, a pair of wings, arm with pistol and a code unique highly detailed base. Once put together the model is 40mm tall, 120mm wingspan and 70mm total length.  

If you missed the warbirds here are the details of those.  Some of the finest models sculpted in the 1980's.

TSF01 Szithks Male Winged Warbird with Rider: Composed of the body of the warbird, a separate leg, two wings, a saddle and a Lizardmen holding long rifle (Szithk) plus a code specific metal base.  Note the wings will require pinning to stay in place as with the original release of this model. Once put together the model is 50mm tall, 100mm wingspan and 60mm total length.  The saddle is 30mm tall. You can choose from a complete kit of all the parts or the Bird with Wings on its own, the Rider only (no weapon) or the saddle only. 

TSF02 Szithks Female Warbird: A giant Warbird the wingless female.  Great for any system. Composed of the body of the warbird, a separate leg and a code unique base. Once put together the model is 50mm tall and 60mm total length.  The base is 30mm long. This model works in several scales.
