Title: 6mm Italian wars?
Post by: swiftnick on July 31, 2021, 07:22:50 AM

So with a club campaign on the horizon can somebody point me in the direction of a nice 6mm Italian wars range?

I used to do them using Irreg. Miniatures 6mm ranges, mixed with Heroics and Ros. IM are better avoided when you buy your skirmishers and cavalry - lousy figures - but their pikemen are pretty sturdy and less prone to spaghetti spears than H. and R. Service from IM not always reliable, to the extent that I've given up buying from them.

Microworld Games has a small range as well. I've used his sci-fi and fantasy stuff and it's high quality in my opinion.

Thanks yes i have looked at both of those. Wasn't sure if they would mix well. I always think the photos let irregular down.
