Used to, in the form of EPIC: Armageddon.

I wish more people played in my area, I love microarmour scale.

Wouldn't 6mm infantry be like super small?

>you can get 60 Infantry for 10 bucks, 5 Tanks for 9 bucks, etc.

>It takes up a very small amount of space

The point is that you can have more units on the table and play on a larger tactical scale, it's not like you play a 28mm game with 6mm on a 30x30cm table with 3 tanks and and a handful of infantryman.

>>14823601
Yes, they'd be 6mm. :-P

I'm a fan of 15mm scale myself. Anything smaller than that seems too small in my opinion.

>>14823617
>it's not like you play a 28mm game with 6mm on a 30x30cm table with 3 tanks and and a handful of infantryman.

And why not?

>>14823658
I was of that opinion until I saw the GHQ infantry, which is like "Holy Shit" detail levels.

>>14823617
Looks like a 15mm table there bro.

>>14823662
Would be very fiddly and and LoS is problematic, on larger scales infantry can much better interact with terrain.

>>14823681
No, that's 6mm.

>>14823712
Must be the basing then. And the hydro towers look out of scale.

>>14823712
LOS is only problematic if you make it so. A good ruleset just uses cover rather then pure LOS.

>>14823673
Those are nice.

The reason I like 15mm scale is because both the infantry and the vehicles look good in that scale. Something like a Panther tank is no bigger than a match-box car and it makes sense for something like a dozen of them to be on the table at the same time. And the infantry is small without being too small.

6mm scale has vehicles that are small, but still recognizable and infantry that look too small.

28mm in my opinion has the opposite problem. The infantry look good are large without being too large, but the vehicles look way too big and out of place on a standard sized table.

>>14823837
Kind of true, but the small infantry isn't bad when your play space is 3x3 or something similar. Also, 6mm let's you break out the trully cool hardware, pic so fucking related.

So what are some good 6mm scale rulesets?

Is this mostly used for modern warfare, WWII, sci-fi, etc?

>>14823927
Off the top of my head:
Cold War Commander
Blitzkrieg Commander
Epic 40k
Dirtside II
Microarmour
Modern Spearhead
Spearhead

>>14823972
While I'm thinking about it:
Challenger 2000
Red Ops
Cold War Crisis

6mm scale is a lot of fun and GHQs minis are some of the most detailed minis I've seen for any scale game. Whoever sculpts them is insane. As for rules sets fist full of tows 3 has been our favorite so far. Have not tried Coldwar Commander which I hear is good as well. GHQ despite their awesome models has a awful ruleset.

We play modern combat btw

>>14823910
That's an awesome mini, where is it from?

Im suddenly interested in some 6mm/15mm warfare. Somone link me to site where I can buy ww2 or modern stuff please.

>>14823927
Theres also historical and some fantasy stuff in the scale, since it's pretty good for huge battles, like the Rather Large Towton project, which is running at conventions this year for the 550th anniversary of the battle with a roughly 1/3rd scale (numerically) number of troops (about 20-25000).

Its from ghq.

Two best company's are ghq, ghqmodels.com, and CinC, pfc-cinc.com

There's other makers but they suck

>>14824092
That looks awesome.

I could get into that.

>>14824103
Actually, the LCAC is from legionsivhire.ca as the photo indicates.

Aw, yeah.

Wish somebody'd put out a couple more of these 'Deluxe' modules. Teeny-tiny tanks are so much fun.

Dammit /tg/ you already made me give up 28 for 15, now you want me to start in with 6mm?

>>14823910
I see your LCAC and raise you my Soviet ACV.

I now have a strange desire to play in 6mm scale. Thanks for nothing viral op.

How much stuff do you need to play to get into this?

>>14824350
It varies depending on the game. For a game of AK-47 republic, you could have everything you need for a big game and it would run you MAYBE 40 bucks? Before you got into terrain or stuff like that obviously.

>>14824241
Want so bad.

>>14824214
We'll get you playing 10mm next, just out of spite.

>>14824422
Scales I hate.
10mm
20mm.

Fuck you guys. Fuck you so much.

>>14824385
Looking through the Scotia 6mm stuff at the moment, the South African stuff makes me want to use it for AK-47!

Can we get a scan of a ruleset for this or something plz?

>>14824589
Rulesets we want:

AK-47
Cold War Commander

>>14824901
You're probably better off buying the things than waiting for a scan.

Look up some battle reports and reviews if you want a good idea about how the systems work as a game.

>>14825031
We are one week away from an AK-47 scan.

>>14825042
BUT I WANT MY THIRD WORLD BUSH WARS TODAY!

6mm scale is pretty awesome, how detailed are the models

Battletech is 6mm scale.

So technically I play 6mm games exclusively.

Anyone played Spearhead before?

I like my 6mm in sci-fi and modern flavors. I play using future war commander.

Good 6mm scifi dudes are
Ground Zero Games:http://www.groundzerogames.net/mambo/

Plasmablast Games: http://www.plasmablastgames.com

Dark Realm Miniatures: http://www.darkrealmminiatures.com/

And Micro World Games:http://www.microworldgames.com/

Micro World Games is awsome, he supplies the Dark Realm miniatures in the USA so no worries about shipping over seas and just recently started putting out his own line of fantasy and sci-fi 6mm.

Have a small Andrayaden army and a small Pax Arcadia army.

Want to start a Soviet force for Cold War Commander next after my current project of assembling and painting a clan Hells Horses heavy star.

Pic is a gunship from Micro World Games.

More Micro World Games stuff. One of his Sci Fi lines is dinosaurs with lazers strapped to them.

Captcha ate my image

Super Heavy Hover Tank from Plasma Blast Games. Would love to order from these guys but so far no luck finding an NA distributor.

>>14830350
Looks very cool

>>14823523
Why yes, yes I do.

Yes, I do play 6mm. Gonna do a little dump of some of the photos that got taken of a game I ran at a local game con last month.

Not the best photos, but oh well.

First one here's an overall shot. Hexes are 4" edge to edge. Buildings are a mix of a ton of different manufacturers. General scenario is some Germans retaking the town from advanced Russian elements in early 1945.

Aw snap. Forgot to put my name.

Anyhow, this is the climactic moment of the game. Just after it. The sherman in the left cross-street lucked out and managed to get a drop on the Panther near the church (it's on a hill, so the railroad embankment does nothing to provide cover). Sherman loads APCR, fires... and manages to immobilize the panther. Almost a kill. Just a roll of one higher... But sadly the panther was still in the fight, and helped itself to a self-igniting sherman.

Additionally, German infantry was moving up the left of the map, and had taken several of the buildings overlooking the sherman, and an SU-100.

This is why the Russians were, in the end screwed. The Russians had lost some infantry to a Wierbelwind (way out of the way on the right), and so the Germans were able to get into this position on the roof. The SU-100 is in major trouble on two counts. One, because the infantry team closest to them is carrying panzerfausts, and two because the Germans are slowly legging a panzerschreck team up. It's overkill for an SU-100, but war's not using a just big enough hammer...

Got some more shots over here --> http://xveers.deviantart.com/gallery/24910796
All that there is 6mm.

>>14831026
>>14830992
>>14830970
What ruleset is that?
Nice to see someone else went to salute

>>14830970
Is that terrainmaker hexes?

Does anyone have suggestions for integrating Epic 40k with modern battles? We're trying to stat out a game of the Imperium of Man vs Israel or something similar.

Wait, battletech is 6mm?

>>14836719
Roughly yes. Though there has been some scale creep with the mechs, and I'm not sure tanks are the right scale (my Zhukovs seem closer to my 10mm scale StuGs in than an EPIC lemon russ) but the infantry is.

Bump for more 6mm goodness

>Make Epic thread on /tg/
>It fails, nobody likes painting details that small apparently
>OP makes thread on 6mm, includes historic and WWII minis
>Stop the cab, I gotta get on the 6mm train
Feels slightly bad bro.

>>14824422
How...were...those...painted?

>>14839726
individually and not very well

>>14840100
>not very well
Pull the stick out your anus. 6mm infantry like that are not easy to paint.
