My 6mm scifi force using GHQ models can now be fielded as a self contained force with the addition of the infantry and heavy armor components. The infantry are GHQ modern US infantry used as-is, while the tanks are Leopard 2A6 with very minor modifications, namely the comm-link / data-link antenna dome on the front left turret roof. BTW I do like the look of infantry based line abreast on a 40mm wide base. Epic 40k style.

Very impressive miniatures. The Leopard 2 A6's are some of the best proxies for "near Future" or "now" sci-fi. It's all about the wedge turret. Thank you for sharing |

What rules are you planning to use? |

Are you using a template to paint the camouflage? It's remarkably uniform from tank to tank. --M |

No template, I just use the 1st tank I painted as a reference. My camouflage pattern uses straight edged geometric shapes – I took the idea from the dazzle camouflage patterns on WW2 US navy ships. This makes the pattern easy to follow from vehicle to vehicle. |

Nice army! it's just a shame that for me I find some of the GHQ stuff too small. They do some lovely models, that would work well for me. But they look a little out of scale with the rest of my stuff. |
