Skeletov Cossacks new for Flintloque and Slaughterloo

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. 

New releases for Flintloque and Slaughterloo who take the side of the Undead of the Witchlands.  The new 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.

A horse made of nothing but animated bone? Indeed.  You can purchase 55524H Skeletal Horse (as used by 55524) on its own.  A two part metal miniature of two halves which fit together giving a hollow rib cage. Saddled and will fit most Human sized horse riders. Now in our Battlefield Bits Range with many other mounts and other useful things.

An article will come in late May 2025 which will give Flintloque and Slaughterloo game rules for these new cavalry of the Dark Czar.  It will also feature a Flintloque scenario set in the Witchlands which sees a patrol of Elf Dragoons ambushed by Skeletov Cossacks.  This will be a free article and download.

Get started with Flintloque or expand your collection with characters using 5024 Escape the Dark Czar beginners set which comes with rules and scenarios booklet as well as ten resin miniatures with bases and dice.  An ideal core to start you.

Here is a line up of a 55508 Zombie Line Infantry with musket next to a new Skeletal Cossack and one of the mounted Zombie Cuirassiers from 5024.

The 'volunteers' of the charnel city of Moskova and other places of the Witchlands. Often effective when used en-masse the Skeletons of the Moskova Volunteers are poor troops but they are effective against lesser enemies such as Militia or Landwehr.  Choose from packs 55028,55029,55030,55031 and 55032 (with single choices within them) or 55523 Moskova Volunteers a mighty 28 miniature unit with saving.

VNT61 The Rising Dead new plus A Wizards Progress remolded 28mm scale

 

"Graveyards are haunted and they are filled with perils both above and below.  Now the very dead themselves are rising..."

The second of three brand new 28mm Undead Legions codes during the Spring Mega Event is revealed with the last one and the new Multitude revealed later this week.  In this message we also present to you the newly remolded 1990’s classic CA1 A Wizards Progress in the Adventurers and Wizards Range.

VNT61 The Rising Dead:  Five different skeletons 28mm scale each in the process of emerging from the cold soil.  A fun group for adding to your collection. The value pack contains all five with a saving and the single codes are as follows.

VNT61-02: Pushing from the Soil.

VNT61-03: Rising from the Grave.

VNT61-04: Risen Skeleton with Gravestone.

VNT61-05: Skeleton carrying his Gravestone.

"A college of magic is the place for any aspiring Wizard. From the Youngling who is trying a feeble first in spell making to the young Mage who is adept at a few spells and strives for more and then the Magus at the height of his powers and influence who holds all in his thrall. Elderly spell casters who are in the twilight and yet find employment. Then there are those who fail as apprentices through drunkenness or sheer dimwitted act they end up as offal and charred or worse remains upon the ground. A Wizards Progression can be a rewarding one...or one fraught with danger!" 

CA1 A Wizards Progress:  Now in new molds the first code from the CA Range is from the early 1990’s and contains five different miniatures in 28mm scale.  From a youth to a master, an elder and a failure a fun group for dungeon crawl or in your collection.

VNT60 Skeleton Knights 28mm new armoured elite of the dead

"For Men the lordly sight of Knights arrayed for battle brings joy to the soul and warmth to the limbs even on the coldest of nights for it is known that the enemy will soon perish.  These Knights though bring fear and bleed the heat from mortal bodies.  They used to be noble but now in their rusted plate armour they answer not to a King but to the Necromancer..."

The first of three brand new 28mm Undead Legions codes during the Spring Mega Event is revealed with the other two and the new Multitude revealing later in April.

VNT60 Skeleton Knights: Five different metal 28mm scale heavily armoured and armed Undead miniatures. Heavy hitters for your legions of the dead. Value pack contains all five with a saving and the single codes:

Extra Late News!

VNT63 Skeleton Crossbows new 28mm releases

"In two serried ranks they stood opposed. Each surprised by the other. One of mortal Men in bright tunics and ruddy complexions and the other of men who had once been; now silent as soil.  With a raised arm officers ordered the preparation to fire.  Truly the mortal men worked their windlasses and readied their crossbows much faster than the bare bones animated by magicks whom they faced.  By the time the Undead had readied their own crossbows the triumphant Men pulled their iron triggers and a flight of bolts struck all along the skeletal soldiers.  But such is the way of things as their bolts almost all passed through the gaps in bones felling only a few animated dead.  In horror the Men hesitated, their hearts heavy, before training caught them and they began in desperation to reload their crossbows.  A skeletal arm fell and the bolts of the dead all hid themselves easily in warm flesh...”

Our last new release this month is one from our ‘asked for’ list.  That is it is by customer contacts as we create the codes most requested in each of our many ranges and scales.  We present VNT63 Skeleton Crossbows five poses added to our 28mm Undead Legions Range.  These are an excellent counter point to our original 1990’s VNT14 Skeleton Archers.  You can have them as singles or as a pack with a built in saving as all packs have.  Here they are preparing to put bolts through a pair of adventurers (FL22-07 Female Thief and FL22-05 Female Halfling) from our Adventurers and Wizards Range.

VNT64 Skeleton Warriors II new 28mm releases

"Bones long buried. Bones long away from the warmth of the sun. Bones that have served their purpose in life and now rest deep in the cold soil. Bones that due to the dark arts of the Necromancers now serve a new purpose no longer buried and immune to the warmth of the sun overhead. Rattling and creaking with the clank of rusted armour the Skeletons that were once Men take to the field of battle ahead of their liche lords. Ranks numerous marching with sword and spear, bow and axe leering with empty eye sockets and hanging loose jaws. Sickening ordered steps bring them ever closer as their chariots pulled by long dead horses enter the fray and bolt throwers served by Skeletons fire iron at our terrified lines. Your sword will slip between ribs and your arrows pass straight through with no effect so to mace and hammer. Smash them and send these bones back to rest."

The first of two new releases this month added to our 28mm Undead Legions Range.  Five new Skeletons armed with melee weapons and following up on the original 1990’s Skeleton Warriors (VNT13).  You can have them as singles or as a pack with a built in saving as all packs have.  Above you see them attacking a couple of brave dungeoneers (FL22-03 Half Orc and FL22-04 Cleric) from our Adventurers and Wizards Range.

VNT64 Skeleton Warriors II five different metal miniatures which are supplied unpainted and without a base (shown on our 59021 Resin 25mm Square Bases).  Sculpted by Sam Croes.

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.

New 28mm ten open hand Skeletons plus Undead Weapons and Shields

In the service of a great Necromancer we present added to our large Undead Legions Range and to the classic Fantasy Warlord Range the Summoned Skeletons along with Undead weapon and shield sets. These bone fellows can be outfitted with anything you choose placed into their hands or on their backs or waists.  Use in any 28mm game system. Sculpted by Sam Croes there are five typical Skeletons and five armoured ones.

Inspired by our respect of the 1990 Fantasy Warlord Range whose miniatures which are all open handed and (aside from the characters) are supplied without weapons we have made something often asked for which features in that rule set and was created by magics; Summoned Skeletons.  

In these pictures you see them ‘assembled’ with weapons and shields as examples of what can be done with the new codes.

VNT57 Summoned Skeletons: This pack of five different 28mm metal open handed skeletons is supplied without weapons or shields.  You can choose from the pack or poses within it on the page.  Minions of a dark overlord.  Combine with with VNT51 and VNT59.

VNT51 Undead Weapon Sprues:  This code contains three metal sprues of weapons suited to Skeletons, Zombies and other Undead creatures.  Each sprue holds its weapons on a trio of skull motifs which you can use for your projects as decorations or armour adds.  Weapons are Halberd, Spear, Long Sword (2H),Sword, Axe, Mace, Bow and Quiver and lastly Crossbow and Quiver.  Set of all with a saving or choose singles on the page.  

VNT59 Undead Shield Sprues:  This code contains two metal sprues of shields rotted for Skeletons and Zombies.  Each sprue has its shields mounted on a trio of skull motifs which you can use for your projects as decorations or armour adds.  Shields are Oval, Kite, Round Bossed Wooden, Round Plain Plate and Round Wooden. Set of all with a saving or choose singles on the page.  

Look at these animated warriors next to their potential arms!

Lastly have you seen our 80mm tall Giant Skeleton?  It is an easy to assemble metal kit which comes with its fallen self (5 resin pieces) included for free!  A great centre piece for your army.

Thanks for your Time.
