Would anybody have photos of 6mm Adler WW2 infantry figures? Been on their site and photos are too small for my eyes. Be nice to see painted or unpainted British regular troops, British paratroopers, German regular troops, German Waffen SS, German paratroopers, United States regular troops, and US paratroopers. Also, could anybody tell me if they use Adler 6mm WW2 figures, what are the best buildings to use with these figures, because they are about 7mm to 8mm in height. Future thanks.

I have Adler WW2 figures – British, German, US and Russian artillery gunners and various support weapon operators, such as heavy mortars and crews, as well as HQ staff (I use Mainforce figures for infantry, light mortars and LMG/HMGs). No photos, sorry, but the figures are excellent. Highly recommended. They are about the same size as Baccus figures, if you are familiar with those.

Stylistically, the photos on the site can give the impression of disproportionately large heads. This isn't the case across the range.

Buildings-wise, I use 3mm buildings with 6mm figures. GHQ Models are also on the smaller side of the 6mm building range. The figures will also work fine with any supplier of 6mm buildings. You won't need to go to 10mm IMHO.

Let's see if some of my piccies can show up:
Adler Regular Brits wth GHQ Churchills and Sherman Flails:

Adler Regular Brits for Epsom


Adler Brits and SS German fighting over St Manvieu:

Echoing the above post: I think they're the best 6mm figures you can get. They paint up really great and have fantastic detail on them as well as a wide range of poses.

Adler Russians:


Adler Brit Paras but picture is old and not that zoomed in:

Thank you Battler Britain, wonderful photos. What buildings are those. Have a great day.

Buildings are 'Mainly Military' I think.

I did see you could still get them a few years back.

Great looking stuff, BB! I am delighted to see so much recent content on the 6mm board!

I have only a few Adler figs in my collection. I'll see if I can get a pic or two to post up.

I have gamed with them many times, though. I know several other gamers who have large portions of their forces done in Adler figures. So I would claim to be at least familiar with them.

I have never felt any hesitation to putting them next to GHQ vehicles. You might be challenged to put 8 individual figures in the back of a GHQ halftrack, but in real life you'd be challenged to put 8 adults into the back of an M3 halftrack if you wanted them all standing in action poses and not touching each other too much.

The variety of poses and equipment Adler provides with their figures are great. Full credit to Leon and his team -- they really have some useful stuff.

Useful stuff is good, I like useful stuff! Particularly good looking useful stuff.

Also see if you can find any of Mark Luthers AARs.

Mluthers terrain and games are amazing.
And he uses Adler figures with GHQ vehicles.

You can see a list of his AARs here:

Charles they're really impressive.

As is your Arnhem Bridge project.

Hi Battler. thanks for the support. Your figures look fabulous. How do you photograph them so well?
