This web site is about wargaming a variety of periods using 6mm (also called 1/300th) scale figures.
In the future I hope to add some more articles on areas like terrain making and scratch
building or converting figures. This site is under continous development so please check back
here regularly for any updates and let me know if you have any comments or corrections about
this site.
The whole web site been rewritten using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and SSIs (Server Side
Includes) to help speed up rewriting the site. I also fixed up any minor content errors that i noticed. Its taken me a couple of months to do this but it will make it much easier
in the future when I want to add new pages and sections. I found some good web resources for CSS
so email me
if you want more info.
Some of the benefits of this scale include:
It allows for a mass battle look and a more realistic ground scale.
The cost per base is better so you can have bigger armies or more of them.
The amount of space required to store armies and terrain is less.
6mm figures are much easier to paint especially if you use the 2ft rule. ( no Kevin Dallimore painting techniques required here!)
Conversions and scratchbuilding is much easier. Also it is easy to paint figures up to represent another troop type in this scale.
If you think the detail is lacking at this scale check out GHQ or Baccus and tell me they dont look better than a lot of 15mm figures!
