Anyone have pics of GZG's Small and Large Tripod War Machines (stock codes V6-01
and V6-02)that they'd be willing to post? I'm working on a 6mm VSF project and
would like to see how these fit into my cunning scheme...
Thanks!
KJ
As in other ranges or succinct descriptions of them?
The hyperlinked list is here
http://www.tacticalwargames.net/forums/index.cgi?act=ST;f=7;t=13635
The cut and paste is here :)
GW Epic.
GW FW. Yes, getting cheaper relative to GW every day! )
FW Aeronautica. Yes I still think its not 6mm!
15mm.co.uk. No personal experience, are those infantry too tall? Experience to
the contary suggests "6mm Crusaders as Tau Firewarrior proxies." And expert
opinion says they are 9mm, which is about what they look!
Adler. Again no personal experience, is it 6mm? the infantry look a touch large.
Brigade. Some nice stuff.
C in C. Yes, they do a very few sci fi bits as well.
Command horizon. Likewise.
DRM. More excellent stuff.
Dream pod Nine, mostly the wrong size but some stuff link the little chaps at
the link might be good.
Exodus wars. No more need be said.
Force XXI miniatures. Currently closed but has 6mm stuff.
Fortress Figures. No longer openly for sale, but if you email the chap he can
still make them. Prices range from $0.50 to $1.
Graviton Warrior. A new addition.
Game Figures Inc. A range of aliens and terrain at the moment.
Ground Zero Games. The Big One. For many UK 6mm sci fi gamers these chaps were
the first and certainly the biggest range for a very long time.
Hall of ancient warriors. Who are these chaps? From a search on the net.
Ironfist They aren't GW models, honest :) But are a new range of super heavies
for 6mm.
Ironwind. A bit too 10mm even for Epic? Some think not.
Irregular - yes, they do 6mm too. No doubt in the same style as their other
ranges. I
can't bring myself to buy any to find out though. I quote from below "suitable
for a high contrast impressionistic painting technique."
MAATAC. Originally released by 'superior', know nothing about them.
Ogre. The vehicles work, the infantry is too big.
Majic minitures. Currently UFO centric but with more in the works.
Old Crow. Did these used to be Ainsty stuff?
Plasma blast games, some details int he announcement thread hopefully.
Reapers CAV has stuff which many people have used successfully, especially for
Navy assets.
Reaver from Tac-Com has done a fair bit as well.
Reiver Casting is relatively undetailed focusing on armour, but some potential
for civilian vehicles or L&D transports?
Reviresco. The 'days of empire' range. Pretty poor I feel but odd ad mech
vehicles maybe.
Scotia stuff. Only ever seen this stuff at shows.
Sues Little Bits. Early reports put them at nearer 9mm.
W.i.l.d.fire robot spiders with guns.
ZandrisIV Miniatures, anime style ogre miniatures alternatives, as well as
Homeworld ships and other models.
Buck Rogers gun pods as recommended by Javelin here.
Konami. Out of production Eagle Transports from Space 1999 are fantastic. You
have to search for them though!
GHQ The best for 6mm vehicles (well even a bit smaller than 6mm potentially
depending on how you judge the scale of 1:285!).
Navwar. Ok not sci fi, but still a useful place to browse if you want to spend
all your money and can drop by the shop. In fact a useful prompt for other 6mm
stuff to come in!
Armorcast is doing 6mm terrain
Game Craft Minitures mostly terrain.
Mainly Military Sci FI buildings.
I think the Scottia FAV (militarised Dune buggies) are a very nice piece of kit
for those looking for that kind of thing.
