The Catalucian Army is split in two. Since Mordred signed the Treaty of Friendship with Mordred, many imperial regiments have flocked to the Elven banner. However, others still remain loyal to their King, and fight on the side of the now Grand Alliance. Years of neglect have left the Dark Elf army weak and disorganised. The Junta Council struggles to pay them, food is scarce, and but for a few notable exceptions, their training is almost non-existent. Keeping any form of cohesion and discipline within the ranks is near impossible. The Duke of Wheeling-Turn believes the normal Line Infantry to be incapable of standing their ground, and recent performances have provided proof that his belief has a solid foundation. It has to be said though that the Dark Elves have beaten the Ferach on a few occasions and they tie down a lot of Armoricans in tracking them down.
– From 5025 War in Catalucia
The World of Valon is a huge miniature range encompassing Flintloque, as well as Slaughterloo and other titles set in the game world. Alternative Armies maintains not only new releases for the range, but also remolding and remastering too across the 20+ armies of the Mordredian Wars. While we do not tend to publicly state this regular process, we do on occasion, and today is such a day. Alongside four brand-new Dark Elves, we have re-mastered the original line-trooper poses and the gun crew too. Plus a line officer from an original code. The sun is shining here and in Catalucia despite the Ferach Empire. Go to the Dark Elves of Catalucia or read on for this month's entire Flintloque news.
For players of Slaughterloo, we have 51521 Dark Elf Line with offers a unit of 20 with a saving, or a section of ten plus single trooper option. Composed of the new 51053 pack plus multiples of the troopers in the 51018 pack. As with all World of Valon codes, we provide our resin cartouche-style bases included for free.
The new color party sculpted by Sam Croes using the same parts as the original 51018 Regimenta del Nino Cisco so that the officer in a dashing pose of pistol and sword (excellent for duelling too) as well as the drummer, standardbearer and sergeant with a nasty halberd fit right in with the re-mastered troopers. Alongside the choice of single poses now in 51018, this is also the case in 51053 Dark Elf Colour Party too.
As many long-time customers know, we often make new Flintloque releases from our asked list with those things most requested being brought into miniature life ongoing. A command section for the Dark Elf Line was such an ask, as was an officer to be used in many roles. 51007C Dark Elf Line Officer is the result. Taken from the original 51007 pack and remastered.
51515 – Dark Elf Artillery Crew
There is not as much in the way of guns among the Dark Elves as there is for the Army of Albion or the Ferach Empire, to be sure, but those crews who serve do tend to do so now much more well than before. Learning and surviving has led to nimble gunners. Remastered, this artillery crew contains six poses of officer (51007c), gunner with musket, plus gunners carrying ball, rammer, trailspike and match. Two limber horses are included. You can choose from the pack, or a pair of horses on their own, or a single random gunner.
