Another Cold Dawn a Free Flintloque Scenario

Part two of the World of Valon articles to enjoy.  Following the recent release of the 55524 Skeletov Cossacks we present a full size free Flintloque scenario which sees them face off against Elf Dragoons in a snowy cavalry action. See and download here or head for the Free Downloads page for everything there is to have.  You will need the free Uniformation article for the Skeletov Cossacks for this scenario.

Weak rays.  Always weak.  The sun here took the seemingly endless ink of night away in this accursed land but it never made it truly day. Not the day of Armorica where the grass was lush and green.  Where the maidens danced with flowers in their hair and smiled at dashing young officers about to make a name for themselves fighting the savage races.

“Captain.  I think we are about to have some company. Riders a league off.”

Captain Pierre Sanson of the 22nd Line Dragoons was dragged from his memories and pleasures once known back into the now.  The now which had his beard coated in frost and the metal of his helmet able to remove the skin from unprotected hands. Reaching down to pat the neck of his horse he felt the animal shivering despite its thick blankets and saddle fittings. He cooed it and soothed it. This campaign had been the worst any Elf had ever seen; worse than the sands of Aegpyt.

He knew it was the enemy before he gazed into the distance and it was.  It was no mortal cavalry.  The horses were nothing but bones animated by some Wylde Magicke unknown in civilised Urop and their riders the same. Leering skulls with bright blue sashes and caps. Wicked swords raised in silent challenge....

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.

Skeletov Cossacks new for Flintloque and Slaughterloo

Dwarven Moustache Hobbying video review Flintloque Beir and Bones

We were delighted to be tagged on X (formally Twitter) by Dwarven Moustache Hobbying who has just discovered a new love for the World of Valon.  He recently picked up our 5028 Beir & Bones Shilling Starter Set which contains a Flintloque game book by that name plus miniatures, bases and dice as well as sample scenarios.  It is a twenty minute video over on Youtube.

The video review goes over the contents of the ninety six page book which covers the ‘Uropean’ theatre of the Mordredian Wars and features his own painted set of the Ogre and Dwarves which come in the shilling pack.

As always we did not sponsor this video and we pass on our thanks to Dwarven Moustache Hobbying for his take on the Flintloque game.  We hope you enjoy.

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

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.

An Alternate Seven Years War using Flintloque Dogmen

With kind permission we share a link to a fantastic ‘Imagi-nations’ blog by a veteran American wargamer of some 45 years of play.  His setting and rules are his own but the miniatures used are all from the World of Valon range.  The blog is called Dog Wars - Alternative Seven Years War and is updated regularly with super pictures and battle reports.  Enjoy

Every article has many images covering the flow of events. The miniatures you see are all from the Pudigrochumberg Dogmen Army with a great many being the favoured 56597 Pudigroan Grenadiers in tall mitres. All Flintloque miniatures come as skirmish sets or units with saving as well as choice of single poses.

The author of the blog welcomes views and input and if you would like to see how the current campaign is progressing then pop on over and say hello.  

There is his previous blog which features Flintloque miniatures as well.  

Thanks for Reading!

VLE17 Major Caden Penmervorc very limited edition Flintloque release

“An amiable fellow and a fine officer Caden Penmervorc has served in many regiments since he left his native Cornwulle. Gradually raising in rank he once served as cook to General Wheeling-Turn while stationed on the Isle of Wights. As a result he makes excellent pasties and is rather a good shot with a pistol. Currently attached to the 2nd Heavy Dragoons in Catalucia.”

We are delighted to present the seventeenth very limited edition code for Flintloque and Slaughterloo. Very Limited means the code has 250 numbered packs produced and supplied numbered before the mold is destroyed and it is gone forever. It joins our range of Limited Editions which covers the standard 1000 pack limited, the very limited at 250 and the limited edition units at 100 sets only.  Above Major Penmervorc is in the high plains of Catalucia standing watch over a Handcart loaded with provisions for his lads.

Rules for the use of this character in Flintloque and Slaughterloo are on the website page for VLE17.  Try him out on the table!

VLE17 Major Caden Penmervorc: This code contains three miniatures in 28mm scale. The same character on foot and mounted (metal) on a horse (resin).  Comes with two separate hands (pistol and sword) and is supplied with resin cartouche bases. Sculpted by Nikki Chatwin.  Supplied in a pack with its unique number for collectors.  Shown on page with 5024 Escape the Dark Czar leader of the Ferach forces General Saindoux.

Add to your Greate Britorcn forces the untied kingdom of Orcs, Ratmen, Hob Goblins and Bog Orcs with their Ogre allies. The 2nd Heavy Dragoons have mounted riders and foot infantry among their codes which you can see on this refined search for DRAGOONS.  Dragoons are excellent for Flintloque for skirmishing as scouts and rescue scenarios.

In the service of the Dark Czar death is a certainty for all.  In fact most are dead before coming into his service by courtesy of the Graviski Re-animator crew.  Zombies rot away and become skeletons before crumbling to snow pattered dust.  The loss of a head is the end in all cases...but not quite.  Something of an oddity even among the Undead is Nikita Hedloski who has lost his noggin but keeps on going.  Attached to the 9th Corpseov Fusiliers he aids in command.  VLE16 Nikita Hedloski Zombie NCO.

We like to give our customers a treat so there is always something free in every package shipped out by us here in Scotland.  Until August 5th it is part two of our Devilish Imps; four any scale miniatures.  Read about this in the ARTICLE.  Totally free in orders included automatically.

The original 1997 booklet for 5004 Sharkes Victory has been retired as it’s mechanics do not fit with Flintloque 3rd edition. Fear not.  In the works an overhauled and expanded booklet which will include all that was in the original by Marc Bacon with Mac Coxhead and more. The three scenarios updated to 3rd edition; new special rules and fiction too.  It will feature artwork by Edward Jackson (such as the above) and be published as a free to download booklet.

Three burning months of free new Devilish Imps with four free in month one

We are known for giving something in every order shipped out and this summer burns hella free bright! Appreciating the hard earned money you spend with our team so a novel reward. Most of the time a free code will be a brand new thing and last for approx one month before changing. This time we have our first ever MULTIPLE MONTH freebies! From now until the start of September 2024 the new any scale Devilish Imps will be included for free in packages (Four this time, Four next time, Two last time) gradually giving all ten poses across three months.  

Place an order each month to have all ten free by September. Nice!

These four Imps are free in your order automatically no need to add to cart.  As long as your order requires shipping they will be in it.  As many orders as you wish.  You may also purchase additional castings of these single poses on the website if you desire.

From 10th June until 8th July the first four new Devilish Imps will be automatically included in your package in every order shipped. These are VNT53-01 and VNT53-02 and VNT53-03 and VNT53-04 all in the Monsters and Creatures Range. No Digital Download only orders for freebies sorry.  If you wish to see what was previously given check out the Former Free Codes Collected where each of them is shown and has a discount too.

Here you see what is currently free and what is still to come blanked out for Month 2 and Month 3.  We tease but in a month and then another...

Devilish Imps are the smallest of the denizens of a hellscape and they delight in torturing any mortals who fall into their clutches. Summoned by powerful mages and other darker forces they will do the bidding of the powerful. Armed with Spears, Pitchforks and Burning Braziers as well as their bare hands.

Here are the 20mm tall Imps next to 28mm scale Knights and Footsoldiers and 15mm scale Tabletop Miniatures Barbarian.  Imps are useful in loads of settings and scales.

The City of Londinium teems with life some of it civilised some of it rather more savage but below the fetid streets is the undercity; the ruins of Dresda. Little is known of just what is down there in the darkness and tombs but there Wylde Magicke persists and Orcs regularly go missing never to return.  Perhaps an expedition will be undertaken to seek out just what is down there?  Here you see an Elf Duellist with Pistol and a Goblin of the 18th Al-Garvey Foot. 

 

The new print run of Callsign Taranis is in and back on the website.  Free rules for Gremlin vehicles in Patrol Angis and free pack of drones with every Taranis Tank too.

There will be many new releases and news and free content across the summer months of 2024.  We will tell you of these of course but in the meantime see our New Releases page and our Deals and Offers page for what is currently on the go.
