They fit in better then I had expected, your painting is good tough you might consider a light wash to bring out details like that hatch a little better.

Say, are these the medium walkers or the small ones?

There is a larger version :

I'll try to highlight all this, thanks for the comments.

Thanks man that really gives me an idea of scale on those models, I found it rather hard to judge from their website.

You know I have been thinking of doing a "battle in a box" project with these, probably some of those GW craters as terrain on one side of the box and these minies on the other in foam. I think it would be cute.

A bit like this:

Interesting but beware : 6mm is not for small battlefields. For example, a standard Epic Armageddon battlefield is 180x120cm.

Well the germies micro stuff, especially the infantry is even smaller then 6mm, but the game would be hardly more then a skirmish just using very small miniatures so it can fit in a small box.

Of course you can use 6mm miniatures with 28mm rules (for example play W40k with Epic miniatures) but it is not the main objective which is to deploy whole armies and play big battles.

For my Uchronia 1868 project, I plan to make real Epic Armageddon army lists for the several nations in order to play "real" battles. After that, I think that AT-43 rules could be use for big skirmishes.

Naturally, your right. I cant wait to field my own armies of epic proportions.

But its simply some side thing I have been musing about with those minies.

I am quite curious to see what you will do with the rules for these actually! Are you writing custom lists or are you adapting things to a good facsimile?

fbruntz
Can you share where the figures you have shown come from?
I know that some of the walkers look like Germy, what about the French Infantry?
Really keen to see where you take this.

Infantry comes from Baccus Miniatures. All Martian walkers come from Germy.

This is a picture of the Martian Heavy Walkers which have been created to hunt the strongest plutonian creatures and is quite good to destroy tanks, dragons or prehistoric monsters on Earth.
