@Rex
You nailed some of the problems right there. I would love to do creatures and such, but there are a lot of options out there already from other scales, as you say. They are also expensive as heck to get made. Same goes for monster+rider combo. Character packs kind of have the same problem. Really expensive due to figure count, and people do not really buy many, so I would have to charge a premium.

@Blip
The Infernus is actually really close to coming back, just waiting for the modified version to get master molded and we will see how it spins up. I would like to set a vendor n the EU someday, but the truth is that my stuff is pretty niche, might not be worth anyone's while. Plus I would likely have to raise prices anyway, just to have it make sense for myself from a financial standpoint. If I started casting myself, then it would be more plausible, but that is a ways off.

Second that!

What about trying to collaborate with one of the 6mm companies here!
Dark Realm would come to mind

thirded (if that's a word)

I know I am late to this but have several wishes to add to the list, some for specific armies, and some in general. Will put them in order of importance to me within each army.

orcs :would love to see hobgoblins added, dressed as knights with two handed swords.
goblins with slings.
Trolls
Dwarves: mortars
crossbowmen
Rhino Knights
giant steam robots
smaller steam robots
steam tanks based lo[size=150][/size]osely on german a7v ww1 tank with gatling guns/cannon armament
Woodland: elven spearmen
elven maidens on unicorns
plain unicorns
nymphs
Undead: mummies
bone golems
flesh golems
zombies
death knights
Beastmen: nothing
Vikings: 1/2 snake 1/2 dwarf with double headed axes
giant trolls
Valkyries flying winged horses
Dread Elves: giant spider elves with swords
giant spiders
Lizaedmen: raptors with no riders
pteranodon with lizard archers
any 'naked' dinosaurs.
The Firmament: nothing
Dark Alliance: some not chaos dwarves to go with them.

Armies I would like to see in future are:
Lycanthropes
Infidels
something based on fantasy Greece, with harpies and medusa's
oriental fantasy armies.
crusaders (Hoping the light alliance covers this)
Halflings+gnomes.
good and evil merfolk type armies

Would love to see pack animals as well. We use a home grown system based loosely on epic and we use a lot of creatures.

wolves, boars, bears, tigers, lions, panthers, rhinos, and especially warhounds. I cannot find them anywhere, and were a major part of medieval armies.

gorgons, medusa, griffons, hippogriffs, manticores (both the scorpion tail type and the one that shoots tail spikes) basilisks, chimera, hydra., etc.

And supply carts for each army would be nice to.

Anyway what a long list!

I will pledge $100 to a crowd funding right now for demons. Both fantasy and scifi are missing 6mm demons, if necessary ill pledge more.

Welcome to the forums firebug, and wow. What a good list. Some good stuff I hadn't thought of on there! I like the idea of 2h hobgoblins, and creatures is one of the big things I'm missing in my armies, I have been using some 10mm to tide the gaps here and there, but I really really could do with some dogs for many of my armies.
(the misses and I intend to use the Kings of war rules and they include both dwarven mastiffs and undead bone dogs)

Would be interested in seeing your home-brew rules and your current miniatures at some point- There's never enough 6mm fantasy on here!


I think that Blindhorizon is on to a good thing there, I forget that demons don't really exist for epic anymore (especially as I am intending to paint up nurgle, and therefore don't need any specific for them as anything can be nurgle, and I luckily got just enough flamers for my misses 1k sons before they vanished into the night)

But it might be a worthwhile investment, considering there is a rise in decent 6mm sci fi makers right now- You might just get in there first and draw in some of the sci fi crowd!

I just commissioned the first of the demon art, so once the pics are done, I will post them up.

Hobgoblins eh? Any reference pics for what you had in mind?

@firebug
I can definitely say there are a lot of things on the list that are planned, some coming out within the next year or so.

rexhavoc> The home grown fantasy epic rules are still testing at the moment, whenever we get a chance to play, which is not very often. I play with my sons mainly, and they are not quite old enough yet to go into it to much. What we have done is make units 4 models to a stand or two for cavalry. Using infantry and cavalry it is 5 stands making a rank, 1 rank to a unit, with the option of adding an extra 4 ranks for the same points cost. With bigger guys like ogres 4 makes a rank. Most infantry units also have the option to swap out 1 stand for a command stand. Commands upgrades are always 1 point. Commanders add +1 morale and otherwise fight as a normal stand. Rather than the 50 point brackets for normal epic, we use 1 point brackets, and other minor rule changes. Giants and dragons, have their own damage table, similar to old style titans. I won't go into to much here as it risks derailing thread, but that's the basic principal. I will post something up if it ever gets to the point of being worthy.

My current miniatures in this scale are a few goblins from irregular, and a couple of army deals from microworld of some dwarves. One son has some lizardmen from micro world, and the other is using empty cardboard bases for free nations (our human list.) We have made a few monsters ourselves but are not very good, but better than cardboard bases. We made some giant sandworms and a single beholder. We tried making some large elementals, but they failed quite badly.

thedespot29> the closest image i have found is http://aow.heavengames.com/units/unitst ... rc-Warlord the picture of the orc warlord. Just kind of with the sword more upright being held to the right and with the zwiehanders swords the german used to use, with the twisty, massively oversized blades. I see hobgoblins as the 'smart guys' (at least in a military sense) in the goblin/orc family, being well equpped and efficient, as oppsed to the brutes of the orcs or scrappity nature of the goblins.

Something like ogre knights in a similar fashion would be cool as well, as all the ogres I have found at least are very barbaric looking, it would be cool to see something different as well. My wish list grows daily... I am however realistic, and know that costs, time and effort and all that make it hard to actually produce stuff for sale. Hats off to you guys that can do it! I think anything that can add to the available range is great. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned.
