Preserovitch Colour Party & Mounted Cuirassier Unit Releases for Flintloque for April 2018
Alternative Armies is delighted to present all of our releases for April 2018 for Flintloque and Slaughterloo in the World of Valon. New packs and units to expand the 5024 Escape the Dark Czar beginners box for the game, as well as the much bigger Undead Army of the Dark Czar in 28mm scale. A three-figure color party to give more command poses to the core six Savant Zombies in the beginners box. A full unit of twelve infantry using all these poses. A full unit of the same Savant Zombies as mounted riders on skeletal horses.
You can now have Captain Preserovitch on foot, as well as his full unit and that unit as cavalry. Sculpted by Sam Croes. Excellent! March to War (free shipping and gifts and offers) is on until 16th April 2018.
The wind whipped and pulled at the sodden and torn greatcoat around his cold shoulders. Near frozen rain beat on his unblinking eyes but Captain Preserovitch did not feel it. He no longer felt anything. What he had been..if he had ever been anything other than a puppet of his masters…was gone. Under him his horse stood perfectly still for it, like him, was no longer alive. It's simple senses bound to his own by the same arcane means that gave him his unlife. His Zombie troopers were spread out in a lone line; each of them just visible to the next. They were a net which had been cast wide to catch those fleeing the Witchlands especially the Elvish lad who carried the golden eagle of Mordred. Preserovitch knew that the band of mortals would have to come this way and that he sat across their path but this storm was making it hard to spot his prey. They would have to pass and pass close to be spotted. Their muskets would be useless after one shot in this weather so it would be cold steel for the kill. The Cuirassiers waited….

5024 – Escape from the Dark Czar – Beginners Box Set for Flintloque
The bitter retreat from Moskova is where you begin your adventure. Take command of General de Brigade Hugo Saindoux and his three fellow survivors as they attempt to evade death and escape from the Witchlands. On their heels are a group of Savant Zombies, the finest Undead in the ranks of the Dark Czar, who are led by Captain Preserovitch. Their task is to capture the golden eagle standard carried by the young Elven drummer boy Ayers Quinte de Toux. Will the survivors outwit the living dead? In this set is a 20-page booklet containing the core rules of Flintloque the Skirmish which will get you playing, as well as character profiles and three introductory scenarios, as well as the story of the Witchlands campaign. Written by Gavin Syme (GBS).
Included are ten high-quality resin 28mm miniatures designed by Sam Croes. Four mortals (an Elf, young Elf, Dogman, and Ogre) and six Savant Zombies. Ten bases for your miniatures and two percentile dice. All you need to get playing and to begin your adventures in Flintloque. You can purchase the boxed set unpainted, or painted and based ready for immediate play. You can also get the figures as singles too. You can also get the booklet on its own as a paid digital download.
