Until recent years, there were a limited number of designers producing figures in 6mm scale, however the popularity of fighting machine games based of Japanese cartoon series have produced a wide range of game types in the genre of Mechwarrior and Battletech, following on from earlier science fiction adaptations such as Dirtside and Games Workshops’ Warhammer Epic series.

6mm has a healthy and vibrant following amongst historical gamers with companies such as Heroics and Ros, Scotia Micromodels, and others, numbering their catalogue lines in the thousands.  If you’re looking for really unusual and funky 6mm figures, try Irregular miniatures of York, UK – they have some really wacky offerings, and they’re a business run by a family of really nice people.
