"6mm Sci Fi manufactures" Topic

As a few have been added recently here is the list.
The hyperlinked list is here

15mm.co.uk. No personal experience, are those infantry too tall? Experience to the contary suggests "6mm Crusaders as Tau Firewarrior proxies." And expert opinion says they are 9mm, which is about what they look!
Adler. Again no personal experience, is it 6mm? the infantry look a touch large.
Brigade. Some nice stuff.
C in C. Yes, they do a very few sci fi bits as well.
Command horizon. Likewise.
DRM. More excellent stuff.
Dream pod Nine, mostly the wrong size but some stuff link the little chaps at the link might be good.
Exodus wars. No more need be said.
Force XXI miniatures. Currently closed but has 6mm stuff.
Fortress Figures. No longer openly for sale, but if you email the chap he can still make them. Prices range from $0.50 USD to $1. USD
GW Epic.
GW FW. Yes, getting cheaper relative to GW every day! )
GW FW Aeronautica. Yes I still think its not 6mm!
Graviton Warrior. A new addition.
Game Figures Inc. A range of aliens and terrain at the moment.
Ground Zero Games. The Big One. For many UK 6mm sci fi gamers these chaps were the first and certainly the biggest range for a very long time.
Hall of ancient warriors. Who are these chaps? From a search on the net.
Ironfist They aren't GW models, honest But are a new range of super heavies for 6mm.
Ironwind. A bit too 10mm even for Epic? Some think not.
Irregular – yes, they do 6mm too. No doubt in the same style as their other ranges. I
can't bring myself to buy any to find out though. I quote from below "suitable for a high contrast impressionistic painting technique."
MAATAC. Originally released by 'superior', know nothing about them, suggested by a chap on TMP.
Ogre. The vehicles work, the infantry is too big.
Majic minitures. Currently UFO centric but with more in the works.
Old Crow. Did these used to be Ainsty stuff?
Plasma blast games, some details int he announcement thread hopefully.
Reapers CAV has stuff which many people have used successfully, especially for Navy assets.
Reaver from Tac-Com has done a fair bit as well.
Reiver Casting is relatively undetailed focusing on armour, but some potential for civilian vehicles or L&D transports?
Reviresco. The 'days of empire' range. Pretty poor I feel but odd ad mech vehicles maybe.
Scotia stuff. Only ever seen this stuff at shows.
W.i.l.d.fire robot spiders with guns.
ZandrisIV Miniatures, anime style ogre miniatures alternatives, as well as Homeworld ships and other models.

Buck Rogers gun pods as recommended by Javelin here.
Konami. Out of production Eagle Transports from Space 1999 are fantastic. You have to search for them though!

GHQ The best for 6mm vehicles (well even a bit smaller than 6mm potentially depending on how you judge the scale of 1:285!).
Navwar. Ok not sci fi, but still a useful place to browse if you want to spend all your money and can drop by the shop. In fact a useful prompt for other 6mm stuff to come in!

Armorcast is doing 6mm terrain
Game Craft Minitures mostly terrain.
Mainly Military Sci FI buildings.

Note that CAV stuff is 10mm (as was the Gropos line from AEG and the Mechwarrior Clix line from WK), and DP9's line for Heavy Gear is 10-12mm.

Some of the FW Aeronautica is 6mm, some not.

The MAATAC line is currently produced by Monday Knight.

Rebel Minis will have some 6mm sci fi stuff coming out soon.

Note that CAV stuff is 10mm (as was the Gropos line from AEG and the Mechwarrior Clix line from WK), and DP9's line for Heavy Gear is 10-12mm.

DP9 have a 'fleet action counter' or some such line, you can see an example here

And the range here

CAV did/does have a range of 6mm fliers, though many I think have been re-scaled to 10mm

Ah right. The CAV fliers were originally all over the map scale-wise. The revised run has been fairly scale-consistent, and bigger.

The Heroics and Ros stuff isn't bad..a bit on the slender side.

I've got some Adler, and they match well with GZG, though the infantry are a touch taller and slimmer. As seperate units, you won't notice. The vechicles are also larger, but not in scale, just designed size. (I alwas thougth some of the GZG stuff was a bit runty, but I love them so…)

I've got quite a significant number of Adler. The Venturan grav tanks are some of my favourites, but i use forge world Tau with them. The infantry are good, but closer to 7mm.

Just to let you know. I am not closed.

The W.I.L.Dfire line will be expandins soon with a series of 6mm buildings and even more mecha! Check the links below.

The WolfMech is in production stages now and more buildings are being developed as we speak. John Bear Ross has also started work on the ScorpionMech as well, so W.I.L.Dfire is growing like a wildfire!

Ah TRC … Spreading the good word …

Well, giving the new chaps on the list hopefully some exposure alongside the older ranges!

Als, though not fully up and running yet, the doll house store in England, Sue's Little Bits are distributing a range of 6mm armour – a nice review with photos was in the last issue of Ragnarok, the SFSFW Journal – including grav, GEV and tracked tanks and APCs.

any pics online of them?

Looking forward to pics appearing here…

Yeah I had spotted the store, just saw no pics :) And does the store hold the whole range or is their more to come?

What an odd combination…dolls houses and micro armour! Looking forward to the pictures!

Steve Jackson Ogre, Monday Knight Games Maatac

I think they are in the list above.

Pics are up

Low quality currently but will be improved when they replace the camera lost in a break in.
