Title: 6mm infantry and tanks?
Post by: Sangennaru on 23 September 2010, 01:16:31 AM

I was wondering which setting could be the best for a semi-static 6mm wargame. i thought about sci-fi, fantasy (pocket warhammer! :) ) or samurais....

but WWI is the really best one: small table, nice small trenches... and a lot of poor young guys ready to die.


the question is: are there manifactures who makes infantry for 6mm WWI?
I would appreciate a good level of sculpt, not blobs or similar!

i would definitely LOVE them.

I feel Irregular makes everything WWI you could ever need,

I second the vote for irregular, I've got a lot of their 6mm kit - boats, planes, tanks, trians - oh and some troops too!

Scotia carries also a WWI range, with some interesting late-war (well, this means the 1918/1919 season...) again with only a few pics:

the few pics are quite a problem for me... :-(

do you know if possible to find some other picture for their ranges?

I'd recommend Adler over @ http://home.clara.net/adlermin/GENERAL/PORTALPAGE.htm

Now they don't do WWI but at the 6mm scale a lot of their WW2 pieces will suit your needs.

Also consider having a look at my humble blog which features a fair amount of 6mm  http://6milphil.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/communistic-work-drive/

Plus maybe go have a natter with those nice 6mil obsessed folk over @ http://angelbarracks.forumup.com/index.php?mforum=angelbarracks

Hope all this is of some use...

PS. Try GHQ too.
