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 colors 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, standardbearer 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.
