I like those Martian tripods - very cool

With small scale sci fi you can often repurpose ranges of notionally different scales - especially if they don’t have too much in the way of obvious size clues like hatches

The beginning of my 6mm Daleks


A variety of Drones from GZG and some old 28mm scale Paradigms as APCs from a guy on here.
More to come, the most concerning thing is that I will probably end up with about 400 6mm Daleks, so that'll be at least 4 different armies,
provided that my plan to make them actually works and I don't end up with 1200 useless pieces of metal.

Here is another faction:

The Latin Union
Formed out of the post nuclear remnants of various French, Spanish and Italian speaking nations, they weren't all too keen in being part of the British United Nations of Earth and so they banded together and went out into space to form their own space empire.


The overview of the force, 4 regiments and 100 infantry, they're only missing some air unit and maybe some single base unit special forces in the future.


The Vehicles are from GZG, there's a laser jeep, an APC, a heavy laser, a Tank destroyer, an older model of a battle tank and the newer, weaker but cheaper version


I realised that modern infantry would work well for sci fi, since lots of movies and TV shows have human troops with exposed skin and got 2 packs of Heroics and Ros Modern French.

Next up, aside from trying to get 3d Printed Daleks in 6mm scale, I need to actually have these guys in a battle against another army, do a sort of test run or what I have planned so that I can see if it's actually enjoyable to play.
