I'm looking to find larger 6mm infantry that will work with my Skytrex Action 200 moderns. I have looked around online and it seems like Main Force seem to be the larger end of things? I do like them, but is there a company that produces 6mm moderns that are not all prone?

Any other suggestions for modern 6mm lines that should work with the 1/200 vehicles? Is there possibly a small 10mm figure that works?

The GHQ infantry range are disproportionately large for their 1/285 range – nearer 8mm than 6 iirc. The Sktrex infantry for the range are uninspiring but I'm guessing you've made the same assessment since you're looking for other manufacturers.

Yeah, based on others observations I am staying away from the Skytrex infantry. I found a comparison shot of a bunch of 6mm miniatures and the GHQ didn't really seem that large. The big ones I believe were Scotia and Main Force Miniatures…may take another look at the GHQ.

GHQ are not all that oversized, but definately enough to notice. About 8mm seems right. I was disappointed by how out of scale they were since they're so nice otherwise.

If I had to guess, I'd say the GHQ minis are about 1/240th scale, or close to that.

Definitely much larger than the 1/300th scale Navwar troops.

I use irregular miniatures 6mm infantry with my skytrex 200 range. Quality isnt the best but I find they fit nicely with the vehicles and they come based in threes.
