I have perused all the sites you gents mentioned many times.
I have some of the GZG, F/W, JR, and Mainly Military models... most are very nice. ?
There is a lot of nice 6mm stuff out there.

Guys,
Check out this site:
The members have been building up a links library of all kinds of 6mm sites:

The terrain folders have all kinds of links in them.
Take care and Shabbat Shalom,

Hello there. This is my first post here. I was thinking of adding a Rough Rider formation to my IG army but I do not like the horse minis. I was thinking of using Salamander scout tanks since I already have them. They were given to me by a friend and there are six tanks. This is the same amount as the RR formation. What I am asking is if anyone sees any problem or complication in using Salamander tanks in a "counts as" proxy for Rough Riders. Many thanks in advance.

The only smallish problem is that ytou should base them in the same size. As long as you do that, there is unlikely to be any poblems. Tell your opponment in advance in any case 
Other proxies, more suitable to prevent confusions is searching for 6mm motorbike miniatures. DOn't know if they exist, but a motorbike formation can look really cool on the battlefield. Maybe using ork bikes with IG riders?
BTW: welcome on board 
Health and sixes,
Xavi

Nice Sturmtiger R/F ! ?I agree ... if your gaming crew agrees, then go for it ! ?But I feel the stats for R/R (guys on horses) vs. AFVs should be modified to reflect that. ?Horse flesh vs. heavy metal ! ?The stats are different. But if you are just talking filling a slot that normally should be R/R with Sallies, fine ... but the stats shouldn't be the same ...

Welcome Rabidfox,
I use the old IG bikes for my RR units. I love the look of the old model combined with the visual of the line of bikes. Further, there is not chance the person I am playing would mix them up for anything else.

I see you point, and I am not a huge fan of the Rough Rider minis either. However, I wouldnt necessarily use Salamaders, because they already have stats in the game, and are the different size. I would look around for other cavalry from other makers, or see if you can find bikers. How about Marine bikers with the riders replaced? Or converted Sentinels? Special dreadnoughts?

Well, technically, you shouldnt use Salamanders since, as Cyber said, they already have stats in the game (i assume we are talking about Epic:Armageddon here). The bikers pictured above would work nicely. Or, alternately, you could use some soft skin vehicles like Humvees or such from other vendors. They would work okay, and not be too far off from what the IG is anyway.
my 2cents,
iblisdrax
