Hi. I've been abducted into 6mm gaming by a couple friends from my local gaming group (Hello, Midian! ), and these are my first attempts at painting in this scale.

10 Kunitsa APCs from Brigade Models which I intend to use as Chimeras for an Epic Imperial Guard force:













My photos are quite horrible, I know, but I'm quite glad with the results for my first try at 6mm, and very happy with the color scheme.

Welcome and nice entry! I didnt know those minis but those are fantastic chimera proxies. Always good to get more players to the 6mm scene

Thank you!

The Brigade Models 6mm Neo-Soviet line has some fantastic IG proxies, in my opinion. Almost everything except maybe a good Leman Russ proxy. I'm also using the British VTOL from the same 6mm range as a Valkyrie/Vendetta proxy, but those are still very much a WIP.

I like these, nice clean paintjob, welcome

Solid start. Those would be good for rhinos as well.

I think both the Rhino and the Kunitsa are quite shamelessly based off the M113, so it makes sense.

Those look like my beloved M113s !

Actually, since these are my very first 6mm purchases it would. I'll see if I can arrange that comparison shot with a friend's Marines, though his paintjob will make mine look like crap XD

Brigade models tend to be a little small compared to Epic ... but they are closer to "real" 6mm, IIRC ... But they fit in fine with Epic ...

The Brigade stuff is quite good actually. Smaller than Epic, like L4 says, but a whole force comprised of them wouldn't look out of place on the table. And the prices are very, very good. Service was excellent, too.

I don't have those particular models, but I do have some of the Vombats (Link) if anyone wants some comparison pics.

Nice looking bunch. Looking forward to seeing more !

I can second the quality (and service) from Brigade. I did some myself here http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20734&start=30 (in a similar Ad Mech stylie) and see here http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20780 if anyone interested in some comparison shots.

The marmot makes a great russ proxy imho. And i use the British flyer as marine thunderbolts.

Unfortunately next "heroic" GW stuff they look a little tiny, so i hived most of them off in their own Ad mech army in which i will probably add bases to my tanks to boost them up a little. On the table they look fine with epic minis.
