Hullo all,
I normally post either on the ol’ blog or on LAF but thought I should probably cross post my 6mm here really.
Anyway, just tidied off a new Horizon Wars force – 18FP – I’ve been collecting 20FP forces (I don’t like to revisit a painting project for fear of colour inconsistency) but I did my maths a bit wrong so this one is only 18FP!
Couldn’t fit the whole gang in the light box, so here they are in their tray:
To be honest they’re not my best work – the weathering is, frankly, crap but it’s nice to have them finished.
I’ve got some ideas I’m playing with for a vaccsuits force (possibly based on lunar style bases) and an order from Angel Barracks I placed yesterday that’ll form the backbone of an SF3D force.
So, more to come soon(ish). There’s a few other 6mm bits on the ol’ blog too for those interested.
Those are lovely.
Is it just me, or do the man shaped ones look like they are rollerskating?
Ooh, now those are some cool figures with cool paintjobs! I’d be afraid of going that heavy on the weathering but it does look good in the end.
…but now I can’t stop thinking that the battlesuits / power-armoured figures do look like they’re rollerskating
Kind of makes me want to get some just to make a Rollerball game

Rollerball with mechs?
I think you might be on to something there…
‘iya,
I might not have much new to show but I have been prattling about with these
So far they’re based and basecoated – I’ll be making them much lighter and giving the doors a tint so they stand out but they’re getting there. I need to make a tool that’s a small sponge but still rough for the next few painting layers.
They’re by no means amazing, but I’m pleased with them, add a bit of flavour to the style of sci-fi I’m trying to capture with my 6mm.
It’s funny you should say that because I’ve got this saved as a terrain reference pic:
and I was just thinking how these aren’t that far off if I wanted to make some like that. I take any reference to Nausicaa as a massive compliment!!!

Hiya all,
Well, I’ve daubed some paint on some 6’s for the first time in ages – I’m currently working on an idea for an Ork Warz! project using my custom units for Horizon Wars and some of the excellent Defeat in Detail Skinnerz – the idea is it will be a kind of mass battle-Gorkamorka type vibe.
Having said that, I felt a bit guilty about some other 6mm stuff I hadn’t finished, so got to work
This battlegroup is 5 Pathfinders, 5 Recon squads (3 men – a sniper, a spotter and a drone on a smaller base), 5 light skimmers and 3 small mechs. Depending on what units I use them as in HW it’ll give me about 25-30P, more than enough for the 15P games I’ve got planned. Scuse the glossiness – my new basing formula involves a glossy homemade ‘glaze’ that’ll get matted off at the end. More to come soon I hope.
Hullo gang,
It’s been a while since I updated this thread! Here’s a batch of Onslaught’s not-Tau that have been languishing in an ‘almost’ finished state for months and months.
I finally got the battlegroup finished.
I’m especially pleased with the skimmers, they’re really nice little models. I’ve got some really nice 6mm power armour coming frmo Shapeways in a week or so, so expect another update soon.
Hi folks,
I’ve only gone and finished something off! Crazy busy at the moment, so haven’t had much time to paint, but it’s sort of become a good thing – I’m squeezing in time for basing, varnishing etc. and getting things finished.
Mostly Brigade Models’ Hammer’ Slammers range. These were a bit of an experiment in Army Painter coloured primer, which on the whole was pretty successful.
I’m particularly pleased with the big artillery units – they’ve got a real sci-fi feel to them. Love’em.
