ALLIES OF THE FERACH ELVES

THE CONFEDERATION OF FINKLESTEIN

The greatest contribution to Mordreds war
effort comes from the inhabitants of the
Confederation of Finklestein. Made up of small
independent member States, the Confederation
supplies the Arme with Dwarves, Dogs and
Ogres. The Dwarves supply the greatest number
of troops from states such as Beervaria, and
have contributed thousands of lives to
Mordreds war effort. The Ogres, most of
whom come from Hnvaria, are some of the
most frightening troops employed by Mordred,
while the Dogs from the States on the starian
border and those such as the Kingdom of
Saxhnde are equally capable troops, though not
quite so intimidating. The Confederation has
provided troops for all of Mordreds major
campaigns, being largely responsible for the
fight against the Krautian Dwarves.
Thousands of Finklesteiners were drafted into
the Grande Arme du Norde for the
Witchlands campaign, where they conducted
themselves with great valour. Without the
soldiers and resources of the Confederation of
Finklestein, it would be difficult for Mordred

The Military Array of the

Tyrant Emperor Mordred

In addition to the large number of soldiers provided by the Confederation,

Mordred draws on both the rebel Bog Orcs of Guinalea and the Toads of Nepolise.
The Bog Orcs fight for the Elves in order to strike against the Orcs of Albion,
who have a strong military presence in their homeland, while the timid Toads
fight on the orders of their King, who desires glory for his subjects. Other races
fight for the Ferach Elves but these are vassal states and fawning client states
and kingdoms.

Welcome to the Composite Insert for the Ferach Elves in the 4th Age. This insert covers all of the current Elf soldiers and their units, weapons, mounts and
so on for the Flintloque and Slaughterloo game systems from Alternative Armies.

The Ferach Empire

The Elves are the driving force behind the wars being fought in Valon. The
Elven Empire was once a glorious institution, a visible testimony to the
formidable power of the Elves. However, time and the enemies of the Elves
eroded this vast Empire, and it dwindled into a triviality. One mans ambition
fired a nations latent patriotism in a bid to halt this decay, and this man was
Mordred, the son of the Elven Empress Morgana. He believed that his mother
was allowing the honour of the Empire to wither and die, and vowed to stop this
decline.
Promises of glory and riches rewarded him with the support of a substantial
number of Morganas soldiers, and these troops he named the Ferach. It was they
who were to aid him in his fight to realise his dream of an Elven empire. It was
with these troops he led a revolt against his mother, usurping from her the
throne of Armorica and declaring himself Emperor. After the annulment of
Wylde Magicke and the victories his forces achieved, many nations flocked to
his banner.
Now Mordred commands many Armes composed not only of Elves but of Toads,
Bog Orcs, Dwarves, Dogs, Centaurs, Werewolves, Trollkin, Ogres and huge Trolka
amongst others. The Elves are foremost in might on the face of Valon.

Mordreds Ferach Arme is made up of a diverse mixture of different troop types

and races. His own soldiers, the Elves of Armorica, are his
,
and take the pride of place in the force with which he intends to rule Valon.
Well-disciplined and drilled to perfection, the Elves are the masters of military
manoeuvre, combining their lethal columns with the devastating firepower of
some of the best Artillery in all Valon. This force has taken Valon by storm, and
had not the rest of the world combined to fight against it, there is a lurking possibility that the Elves would have conquered them all by now...
The Arme of the Ferach Elves of Armorica is a very successful and very diverse
organisation containing many millions of Elven soldiers. Those troops who are
common on the battlefields of Valon are featured here. There are separate
listings for the Elven soldiers of the Ferach Revolution and for the rarer and
more specialised formations, these can be found elsewhere.

Flintloque the Skirmish

When playing a game of Flintloque the Skirmish as the Elves of the Ferach
Empire you will need a copy of the Flintloque Rulebook in order to begin gaming.
To assist you in playing Flintloque the Skirmish as the Elves of the Ferach
Empire on the following page are statistics and tables that apply to the Elves.
These tables give you the racial stats and points costs for an Elf, their normal
cavalry mounts, their normal weapons of war and the statistics for those
weapons in the game.

When outfitting your

soldiers remember that when
paying the points for their
weapons you must take note of
where they come from.
For example a standard
weapon be it musket, pistol of
carbine costs the same for any
soldier to own but a Ferach or
High Elf Musket costs 5 points
for a Ferach Elf to own but 9
points for any non Elf whither
Ferach allied, Alliance or
Undead and so on.

Drafted from the inhabitants of Armorica to help Mordred in his quest for world

breeches, a black bicorn with a red plume and black shoes. Facing colours
(cuffs, collars, etc.) are red. Equipment is black and brown, with equipment

While many troops in Mordreds Arme were trained to function as mounted
Infantry, a shortage of horses and the tactics of the battlefield dictated that the
vast majority of such soldiers found themselves performing strictly Cavalry roles
shortly after being sent into battle. This unit is the Corps Imperial des Dragons,
the brainchild of the ruthless Elven Colonel, Gui de Cacharoth both on and off
their horses.
The Corps Imperial are classed as Mounted Infantry and
are armed with Ferach Muskets.
The Corps Imperial uniform consists of a dark green tunic, white
breeches, a brass and black helmet with a white plume and black boots. Facing

a steel cuirass, a steel helmet with black horsehair. Facing colours (cuffs,

The finest artillerie Officers and crews are assigned to Horse Artillery batteries
like the Garde Artillerie a Cheval where they put fear into all enemies, for the
mobility and skill they possess make them a huge asset in battle. Able to charge
to within a few hundred yards of the foe and then rapidly unlimber, fire and
then escape before any counter fire is attracted the Horse Artillery is very useful.

elsewhere follow the Ferach soldiers onto the very field of battle, where they
patch up the lightest to the gravest of wounds and return the trooper to the lines.
In battle the Elf Field Hospital is moved as per any other unit (note that all miniatures in this unit must be in base to base contact at all times), it has special
properties that can be used when within 45cm of any friendly Units in play. If
any friendly Unit is within 45cm distance (measured from the centre of the
Hospital Unit to the closest miniature in the friendly Unit) then when that Unit
is under ranged fire (not Melee) it automatically benefits from this modifier for
being near a hospital. Firing Modifier Table = Target Unit near friendly Field
Hospital (4) modifier. There is no limit to the number of friendly Units this
can assist within 45cm per Turn.
The Elven Field Hospital is classed as a Special Unit.
The Hospital uniform consists of many different colours and civilian
styles of clothes with bottle green, grey and white being popular.
