Hello,

Thought I would start a thread about the non-GW Epic minis available given I only know one

Old Crow Models - www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk

I have even used their watercraft, mostly beach landing craft, for naval assaults (D-day-ish).
I know its a bit strange but they are fine mini's and a shame not to use them in Epic.

If anyone can recommend other companies making 6mm mini's please let me know.

These guys (https://www.baccus6mm.com/includes/products/colonial/british_range.php) would make fine praetorians.

anyone know any 6mm skeletal robots ? seems they dont exist at all..and most people use andrayas, chaos androids (way to hard to get hold of) or those upcoming wargames factory ones :/

I believe that Exodus Wars will soon be releasing a range of 6mm Skeletons with Guns.

A very cool plastics mini company. They will be out soon.

Very nice, very clever set, looks like you can make a good necron army with this, chop and change the
wormy thingies with the weapons platforms to make Necron Destroyers, keep the turrets for terrain. Sweet.

There is a more complete list here

A non hyperlinked version
GW Epic. Well the link might change soon but we know where for now its available!
GW FW. Yes, getting cheaper relative to GW every day! )
FW Aeronautica. Yes I still think its not 6mm!

15mm.co.uk. No personal experience, are those infantry too tall? Experience to the contary suggests "6mm Crusaders as Tau Firewarrior proxies." And expert opinion says they are 9mm, which is about what they look!
Adler. Again no personal experience, is it 6mm? the infantry look a touch large.
Brigade. Some nice stuff.
C in C. Yes, they do a very few sci fi bits as well.
Command horizon. Likewise.
DRM. More excellent stuff.
Exodus wars. No more need be said.
Force XXI miniatures. Currently closed but has 6mm stuff.
Fortress Figures. I have zero experience with these chaps, it was a bookmark I didn't even look at until now! But by all the Gods they are cheap resin models! 20 for $10!
Game Figures Inc. A range of aliens and terrain at the moment.
Ground Zero Games. The Big One. For many UK 6mm sci fi gamers these chaps were the first and certainly the biggest range for a very long time.
Hall of ancient warriors. Who are these chaps? From a search on the net.
Ironfist They aren't GW models, honest But are a new range of super heavies for 6mm.
Ironwind. A bit too 10mm even for Epic? Some think not.
Irregular - yes, they do 6mm too. No doubt in the same style as their other ranges. I
can't bring myself to buy any to find out though. I quote from below "suitable for a high contrast impressionistic painting technique."
MAATAC. Originally released by 'superior', know nothing about them, suggested by a chap on TMP.
Ogre. The vehicles work, the infantry is too big.
Majic minitures. Currently UFO centric but with more in the works.
Old Crow. Did these used to be Ainsty stuff?
Plasma blast games, some details int he announcement thread hopefully.
Reapers CAV has stuff which many people have used successfully, especially for Navy assets.
Reaver from Tac-Com has done a fair bit as well.
Reiver Casting is relatively undetailed focusing on armour, but some potential for civilian vehicles or L&D transports?
Reviresco. The 'days of empire' range. Pretty poor I feel but odd ad mech vehicles maybe.
Scotia stuff. Only ever seen this stuff at shows.
W.i.l.d.fire robot spiders with guns.

Buck Rogers gun pods as recommended by Javelin here.
Konami. Out of production Eagle Transports from Space 1999 are fantastic. You have to search for them though!

GHQ The best for 6mm vehicles (well even a bit smaller than 6mm potentially depending on how you judge the scale of 1:285!).
Navwar. Ok not sci fi, but still a useful place to browse if you want to spend all your money and can drop by the shop. In fact a useful prompt for other 6mm stuff to come in!

Game Craft Minitures mostly terrain.
Mainly Military Sci FI buildings.

If you pre order for a dollar there is more chance of the 6mm skeletons being made.
