I'm looking for suggestions for large 6mm figures. I've got some Skytrex Action 200 vehicles and want to find some figures that work with them. I remember reading that some of the 6mm manufacturers make infantry that might match up pretty closely. Anyone have experience with this? |

GHQ's newer infantry is closer to 8mm. |

Yes … I'd say GHQ and CinC/PFC … |

If Adler or Baccus do WWII, they will be 8mm figures. The Action 200 infantry figures are on really tall stands btw…. |

Errrrr ours are NOT 8mm, they are 6.4 to eye level, 200th scale figures are usually around the 9mm mark to eye level so you should'nt use them with 200th scale vehicles looks all wrong.
Try Mainforce, neat figures that are all prone so the size problem less evident.

Main Force would be my suggestion too – they're on the largish side, and as Leon says are almost all prone (I think the SAM operators are the only standing figures in the whole range) so they give you a bit more leeway visually. |

Thanks for the ideas guys, will play around a little and see what works best. The 10mm is going to be too large unfortunately, as my little Pendraken guys make the T-72s look like toys. |

I've heard GHQ are about 1/220th scale. |

As above, GHQ are huge. Mainforce might work, but I use those with H&R. They are indeed mostly lying down. |
