They're not all up on their website yet, but an exciting range.

6mm? That's crazy small for games like this!
... still, I'm feeling tempted. ;D
-
It's around the original Car Wars scale so being a devotee of 6mm, Mad Max and Car Wars I'm sorely tempted to flog off my 20mm MM project.
-
Lovely detail for the scale 8)
cheers

Let's not be too hasty here! :o
That said if you can find the right rule set 6mm does seem a better scale for full on carnage. :D

I'd use a early version of Car Wars.

I thought car wars was super complex and not at all suited to large numbers of vehicles?
-
Not that I recall, it can get a bit like stock trading - +2, +1, -1, +3, -2, +1, etc but I played it loads so not a prob, plus I'd probably hack it down -so you could have all the bells and whistles of CW but with the speedy playability of Battlecars.
-
IIRC, the only difficult part for some people was the vector approach for calculating collisions.
-
They are pretty cool.
-
There are many CW substitutes that can be used.
And Battlecars had 6mm scale vehicles didn't it?

Very cool project, looks like some great detail.

They're fantastic! :o

Like?
Just found a UK vendor of these: http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/microworld-games/micro-wasteland/ (http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/microworld-games/micro-wasteland/)
Also had a natter with MicroWorld games about the entire range which will likely be available in their entirity at the end of the year.
-
I'm really liking the idea of 6mm post-apocalyptic.
-
Great stuff. Just , but a bit (a big bit) out of my current scale ranges.
Just out of curiosity, as many of you seem to be well versed in all things Mad Max, Car Wars etc; is there a comparable range in 10mm perhaps?
The reason I ask, is that I have a growing army of Dropzone Commander Resistance fighters, and they have loads and loads of post-apoc technicals, trucks and (battle)busses. So for the sake of variety, I think it would be interesting to throw in a few compatible vehicles from other ranges...
-
I wish there was a good 10mm range, comparable with Pendraken's latest sculpts - that way you'd have access to N-Guage scenery, and for me there's no point doing post apocalypse unless you can do the scenery well.
-
Magister Militum used to do 10mm pA but after a quick look on their site they appear to have been dropped.
-
DropZone Commander is 10mm and they have a faction full of technicals, gunwagons and battlebusses :

These are lovely! Lovely, lovely day!
-
Very nice!
Afaik there is nothing comparable in10mm except Dropzone Commander, but if you stay with 6mm Angel Barracks and GWs old Epic line (Waaaaagh!) might prove very useful!
-
This is the same scale as the original Car Wars (awful) and Battlecars stuff. Irregular makes cars in the same scale but they're a little rough on the casting side.
-
And I'm totally buying one of each of these!

Some of my collection :D

Wow? Those are awesome. I need to place an order. I thought going 20mm with Mad Max was the best option, but maybe for really large battles 6mm is even better!
-
These are not from the company Phil put up, they're a mix of the old GW Battlecars and Irregular vehicles. I also have some old Grenedier Car Wars. But I plan to buy some of the ones on the thread :D
-
Very nice they are too, I had some of the old CW/BC vehicles back in the 80's - long gone sadly.

But thanks anyway... lol

*facepalm*

Why not converting Mico Machines? There a millions of models out there and they should fit quite well in scale?!

Too big I think. These are 6mm. Micro I think are 10-12mm

Maybe it depends on the specific model. I´ve seen Micro Machines stuff that would perfectly fit 6-8mm scale imo

I had a look at those when I was looking to do a project, they don't make them any more and the ones I found wanted silly money for them.
-
Most the time on the bay are 2$ per car average. The more interesting stuff are the old playsets which have some great scenery pieces in there.
-
The style of these is a little bit "bubbly" for my tastes, but I don't know if I can resist 6mm post-apoc...
Very very tempting.
-
Micro machines are a tough one, on the one hand they are ideal as they had a Massive range back in the day. Everything from Action Man to G.I Joe, with actual military vehicles made besides just civilian vehicles. Some pretty crazy ones too, and miniature people to go with the scale.
But on the other, micro machines don't make many small to medium sized sets any more. Blind blister bags sure, and when Star Wars 7 was released there were some sets and big bundles there, but nothing "normal" and unbranded.
I fancy having a dig through the old collection myself, but I'm pretty happy with 20mm as a scale at the moment :-)
And back on topic,
Great work all the same ;-) keep it coming
