paints a Napoleonic caricature.
A wee idea that we had at Alternative Armies back in the summer of this year has now reached its fruition with the release of 'Project 18th Garvey', as it was called internally. For use with Flintloque and Slaughterloo, the Al-Garvey 18th Regiment of Foot Goblins, plus a pack of that regiment's casualties as well. These add to the infantry, cavalry, artillery and command this nation (allied to Greate Britorcn) already has to offer.
Read on for details of the new miniatures as well as this project, plus a free download with game rules and a note on a scenario featuring these Goblins. Our Winter Mega Offer 2019 is on until 11th December with free shipping, 10% off in cart, plus many deals, see our blog for details.
53513 – 18th A-Garvey Foot
The 18th Regiment of Foot is composed of three solid line battalions, which have served alongside the Army of Greate Britorcn against the Ferach Empire since Wheeling-Turn began his advance through Al-Garvey and into Catalucia. They are armed with Muskets and are classed as Infantry. Each Goblin is a one-piece miniature and stands 23mm to the eyeline. The poses are an officer bareheaded with pistol and sword, a standardbearer with ball-topped pole and slung musket, musician with drum, and sergeant with halberd. Trooper poses are four different Goblins with muskets; loading (with awesome mustache), advancing, cradling and firing. As with other Valon codes, you can choose from a skirmish pack with ten miniatures (all eight plus two random further troopers), a unit of 20 miniatures (the skirmish pack with ten further mixed troopers), and a booster with a single trooper. All options can also be taken as pro-painted and based for immediate play by selecting on the page. Miniatures are supplied with our resin cartouche-style square bases.
53014 – 18th Al-Garvey Foot Casualties
This pack contains four metal 28mm miniatures. Goblins of the 18th Regiment who have fallen in battle to the fire of the enemy. Two each of two different poses, one face-up and one face-down. Great for marking progress of your game in Flintloque or Slaughterloo, and for scenic effect in play. Supplied with our resin, square cartouche bases. You may also choose to purchase this pack painted and based for immediate use with the option on page.
The miniatures in this article were painted by the brush of Mark Taylor.

Project 18th Garvey
As alluded to at the beginning, these new miniatures are a result of a small project which Alternative Armies undertook to push an often-overlooked existing pack of miniatures in the World of Valon range. Back in the 1990s, pack 53002 was released containing four poses of Goblin with musket (the four troopers now in 53514) and this was never expanded upon. For more than a decade, this pack was relegated to the memory store and not listed on our website. It needed… nay, it demanded to be taken seriously as a full force, and that mean it needed a command set and even some dead troopers. Sam Croes, our lead designer, used 53002 as a basis to sculpt six new poses, which you can see now released. There are many codes in the range which could benefit from re-mastering and expanding. We may well do it again, and indeed if there is a pack from the World of Valon which you would like to see expanded, please contact us on sales@alternative-armies.com and tell us about it; we welcome your input.
