Winter Mega Event

Until 5th December 2024, Winter Mega Event! Automatically 20% off every order at check-out, 115 new miniatures released, a free code in your package, and more. All releases until start of January are here. Go to our website and have a browse down to the left-hand menu and within the sub-menus of ranges to see what interests you among our many thousands of offerings. Here are the full details:

20% Off Every Order

Once you have put everything into your cart, proceed to check-out. Once there, our website automatically deducts 20% from the cart total on screen, before moving to check-out screen and shipping, and then payment is made. No code needed. You will see the total reduce on screen. This discount is automatic and applies to everything on the site and if the product is already discounted on screen (such as a value pack or divisional army pack), then this discount is on top! You cannot use any manually-entered discount code during the event.

Local Currency Display

All prices are shown in your local currency on screen, and you will make payment in that currency too. Nice and easy, plus no fees or such at all. At our end, all happens as normal.

Free Shipping, Shipping Rates and European Small Order Rate

You can see all our prices for shipping including flat rates for door-to-door courier shipping and Free Shipping. The U.K. and Europe have a 'small order' reduced shipping rate. Note you must reach this amount after your discount is applied for the free shipping to apply. The largest orders will be sent out for free with shipping by UPS Courier, and we will inform you of this by email.

Free In Your Package

We like to give our customers a bit more for their hard-earned money. You need do nothing except order, and the current free code is included in packages automatically. There is no limit on the number of orders, the free item will always be included. You may order the free code, and a free one will still be included! During the event, there will be three different free new codes. First and currently, AS029 Courier Bot in the 28mm Alternate Stars range until 31st October. When this changes, we will let everyone know and show you here.

Deals, Bundles and Offers

We keep all of our biggest savings in one place across all our ranges. Save from 5% to 50% off, plus offers of added miniatures free on screen. Those keen on our Slaughterloo game system should visit its page, where divisional army packs already with a 15% saving are all listed (the blanket discount is on top of discounts shown on screen). We have offers too from the 15mm Laserburn range, with Value Packs with built-in saving.

Game Books

We have a wide choice of gaming titles in print and as paid digital downloads, all of which are in this event. Note also that our download versions are 20% cheaper than print, and that is before adding them to the cart. A wide array of titles.

Formerly Free

Every code which was at one time presented as 'free in orders'. Including Alternia, our mascots, plus monsters, robots, evil plants, and a lot more. These were produced in great numbers, meaning we can offer a discount. If you missed it; find it here.

We accept many forms of payment. PayPal, all credit cards, plus Google Pay and Apple Pay and Klarna. If you would like to speak to us about an order or you have a question, please make contact on sales@alternative-armies.com or go to our Facebook group or MeWe page plus X and Instagram.
