Title: Latest project: 6mm Brigade Models' Merc Battalion (terrain added 1/21)
Post by: Hobby Services on January 20, 2018, 06:26:49 PM

Dabbling in 6mm for a change - battalion strength lot of hovertanks from Brigade Models' mercenary range, including infantry support, a VTOL wing, and resin buildings to act as a support base/airfield.

Great stuff- which rules will you be using?

I painted them up for resale (they lasted less than 24 hours on ebay) but the intent was to have them work for either Future War Commander (which handles big forces well) or Iron Cow (which is what Brigade markets their company packs for).  They'd also work well in Dirtside or Strike Legion, although you probably wouldn't want to use the whole battalion at once in those games.  Well, maybe in a big mega-battle as a con event or something.

Also just finished up a bunch more terrain for people to fight over, also from Brigade.  Makes a nice colonial outworld settlement.

Impressive stuff, I like the tanks and the terrain.

The Brigade terrain is very nice, I have the Desert Buildings and its good to see the domes looking so good.

Yeah, I have to admit I'd kind of lost track of how many terrain pieces they've actually come out with.  They've been some busy, busy bees over at Brigade Towers.  Nice looking stuff all around.

This terrain from Brigade Models looks quite nice, and I've just checked it's from their 15mm range. I'll grab something from them in the future, I think.

A fair chunk of their terrain exists in both 6mm and 15mm versions, although not everything.

Thanks for posting these, I've been looking for some inexpensive tanks to go with my BattleTech 'Mechs. Yours are a lovely force, obviously put a fair bit of effort into them.

BTech's scale is a little off from Brigade's 6mm stuff but overall they should work okay, especially the very large heavy tanks.  They've also got a really wide range of styles available so you can get wheeled, tracked, hover and outright grav vehicles.  Plenty to choose from and very reasonably priced (especially compared to Iron Wind).  For me the real standout is the crazy variety of buildings in the 6mm scifi range, one of the largest I can think of offhand.
