January 2026: The New & Free This Month…

We are back at work, and the lads and lassies of Alternative Armies thank you for your kindness over the festive break. Our office is open and orders are shipping once again from today! Any customers who chose courier shipping or were automatically upgraded to it will be contacted shortly about their packages. Your festive orders will be with you soon!

So it is now 2026, and how are we kicking off this new annum… in 'small style', that is how.

Beadle Missile Tank auto-free

January has been taken over by Xarka Heavy Industries with new releases, news, and a free code – all part of their 6mm science-fiction array. From now until Tuesday, 3rd February 2026, any order which contains any code from Xarka 6mm or from Bradley Miniatures 6mm or 6mm terrain or our Fleet Scale range will automatically get the brand-new XR020 Beadle Missile Tank included for free! Yes totally free with no limit on number of orders or order minimum size. Until 3rd February, if you have a 6mm code in your package, the tank will be in it. No code needed; our staff will add the tank. You can also purchase it as normal and still get it free.

New 6mm releases today!

Later This Month

News

Across the rest of this month, there are five more new 6mm vehicles coming into the Xarka 6mm range. News on these later on, but they are all on the site without images at this time if you want to get in sooner on them. Move your troops and protect them in style with the XR017 Isengrim APC (Tracked), XR018 Kludde APC (Hover), XR014 Halewyn Heavy AFV (Wheeled), XR015 Breydel AFV (Wheeled), and XR016 Loebas AFV (Tracked). Its a 6mm January!

What else can you expect before the month is out? As well as the new 6mm codes, we also have a brand-new and requested scatter terrain set for the HOF 15mm science-fiction range (Starport Crates and Boxes) which your miniatures can fight over and among. Also by request, adding to the HOFP Platoon packs in the same range, there are two more for the OmniCops, each with one pose, many miniatures ideal for skirmishing. Lastly, an update on our Loyalty Rewards and Wishlists and a wee bit of hobbyist content too. News every week!
