Would you buy character figures in 6mm?

Going through the boxes of Projects past and I cam across the 6mm SpaceHulk/skirmish project, and it was held up by the lack of character figures…

I would just label them as such and dare anybody to prove other wise. The only downside I see is where the officers need special hats ala Napoleonics.

In smaller scales, I would decorate the base for a special character. For example a heroic paladin would be a knight in shining armor on foot, followed by a minstrel and a squire. Huge banner always help.

Special Hats…. Now I have to remember that…

6mm fantasy has them from a couple of places – for completely unique figures there's Irregular's personalities and Baccus. Microworld, Irregular and most others have command packs with a limited number of a few commanders, musicians, standard bearers etc. Microworld's undead command pack is particularly cool.

I have irregularminiatures.co.uk 6mm character rat men (and a small rat men force)that I used in a 25mm "Swords of Lankhmar" campain as regular sized rats but for actual 6mm fights I only have character figures if they were easy to obtain and paint.

Why is everyone talking fantasy when the topic is sci-fi? Lol

Epic has some. Not sure if more are needed. I just toy with 6mm.

What do you mean by Character Figures?

Civvies, officers, other?

Lovejoy03 Feb 2012 12:09 p.m. PST

I've recently done some SF character figures for a client – not sure if I'm OK to post pics though….

I have heard this Michael on a forum somewhere…
We await them when you can…

Micheal,

Please go ahead, post the pictures and if you still have them, post the raptors and the pathfinders/imperial court-imperial knight and I will be in your debt.

I would have done it myself but do not know how.

I am still waiting for my own samples and Randy at PFC has been very busy recently, that is probably why he still has not posted photos of the latest releases created from your wonderful greens.

I would prefer if you could post it on a separate thread since I would not want to to highjack someone else thread.

Thanks
