Anyone know if any of the 3mm manufacturers have plans to produce a line of Medievals including Mongols?

On my wishlist too!

I think I saw someone make a 3mm army using grains of rice once.

EDIT-
Never mind. Grains of rice are too big for 3mm. Must have been 6mm.

Might be something you could do on a 3Dprinter. I imagine the models would be units, so basically boxes with bumps for heads?

Irregular has a decent Ancients and Renaissance ranges in 2mm

I guess you guys have not seen the work of Magister Militum and OO. A lot more detail than you would think.

I've done some of the Magister 3mm for Dux Brit/Saga,lovely wee figures. I use Irregular 2mm for bigger battles.

If I can work out how to post photos I will :-)

BTW 3mm figures are a perfect match with 6mm buildings so ideal for skirmish type games

3mm skirmish? You are a madman! 😀

YogiBearMinis.

You're not the first to have said that :-)

kodiakblair, I would love to see photos! Small scale skirmish is one of my fantasies… couple of 28mm "large skirmish" rules propose a figure to man ratio of 1:5, you could easily have a 1:1 ratio in 3 or 6 mm (not indiviually based, of course. of course?). That would give the perfect feel for dark age warfare on the British Isles, for example…

Any updates on 3mm medieval availability?

Stever, neither of those companies make medieval figs that I have seen. They are nice figs, wish they did…

Irregular doesn't specifically have Mongols, but they do offer Hunnic armies and Arab armies into the Dark Ages. At 2mm, I'm not sure that they wouldn't work.

Also, you might be able to use some of the Roman era 2mms from Antonine or Lasercast. Antonine is available through Warbles.
