Just my 2 pence on the thing about getting more people into 6mm.
I joined this forum as its 6mm based and after buying sets of epic when it first hit the shelfs back in the
day but I still just painted back then and still just paint now
After buying an epic space marine box set on fleabay a few years ago it got me hooked and I found this
forum and was inspired by the conversions and other minatures available in 6mm scale.
People like Ben and onslaught have been an inspiration in bringing 6mm minatures up to date with
with what we can do with todays cad and moulding etc.
But what personally feel lets the 6mm side down regarding bringing new blood into the fold is that
you go on the websites and buy the minatures, yes that's great if you know the game, have the rules
already etc.
Just remember " for you that are old enough anyway
" the excitement when looking at the side of that
Box in the store seeing the painted forces on the reverse side, that awesome picture on the front
and looking at list of whats included, dice, rulers, minatures, rulebook, card scenery etc.
I feel you need a box set as it says " we are a company and this is our product and we will continue
to expand "
Boxed set, roughly the same as sm2 box set and I think the 6mm would make its mark, not only
at shows but also stores would by it in as you are not just selling minis you are now selling a brand.
Set a defined ruleset that is printed not just on the web.
Back to basics as we would say
slowly, slowly catch the monkey
Like I said this is just my 2 pence worth.
Regards Epic
