I'm going through my list of 6mm sci fi manufacturers and haven't found any jet pack-type jump troops. Does anyone make them? |

I'm trying to see how well I can put together a non-SM army for netepic. I'm looking for assault troops and a dread. I'm thinking the DR andrayada has 2 walkers that are close. Then there's the whole non-orks to find. |

Since BattleTech features jump troops, maybe Iron Wind Metals has some, or even old Ral Partha packs. |

In their SEM range, PFC/C-in-C has some: link They also have some not-dreads: link |

I didn't see the pathfinders. Good catch. I have the dread armor and they are really more like terminators. Need something bigger, but not quite as big as a gzg not-votom. |

BattleTech battlearmor (via IWM) tends to be on the larger side. The old click-models tend to be very similar in size to the metal ones and can often be found for relatively cheap. I know that the plastics tend to size favorably with the GZG 6mm walkers. |

These should become available around october
Of course they were first anounced for april so… Found them here facebook.com/AgeofTyrants |

Some of the old plastic Imperial Guard models had jump packs. I think you can only get them on e-bay now. Stroezie – they look really good! |

Rothgar, I can scale these down to 6mm, if you'd like, so you could glue them onto the infantry of your choice. link

Thanks for the offer Javelin, but that is going to be way too fiddly for my tastes. I'll prob go with the pathfinders for now. |

I highly recommend the CinC SEM Range. The Jump Troops are very nice and here's some of their Combat Walkers, I'm using for Dreadnaughts. These are bigger than their "Dreadnaught" models. As you noted those are Terminator size. These Walkers are Epic Dreadnaught/Sentinel size …

oooooh whats this then with your basing?
You should have been doing ages ago, it looks really smart! |

@ javelin98
I have used your 15mm jetpacks for my 6mm GZG not-VOTOMS diving beetles and I love them, they look just perfect.
Having a 6mm option for my infantry would be great. @ Rothgar
Don't discount these jetpacks just yet, I found the 15mm ones real easy to use. Granted in 6mm they would be rather tiny but with a toothpick for the superglue and a pair of tweezers it should be easy to glue them to any figures of your choice. |

A/B, I only flock certain bases like Dreads … Infantry stays black … like a chess piece … That's the way I roll …  |

L4, great work on those walkers. Gérard |

Thank you Sir ! |

15mm have some Anime style space combat suits which would match up well for 6mm jump troops. I havent got any yet but intend to get some. |
