In case there's more interest in 6mm GorkaMorka, a little teaser by Vanguard Miniatures

 

[Azzabat]

Oooh, now I could be tempted by those ... And I hate 6mm. I may just get them because.

 

[Malika]

Keep your eyes on the Vanguard Miniatures' Facebook page and/or their website. The rest of their Skinnerz range might also make for some interesting 6mm GorkaMorka gaming.

 

[Azzabat]

I don't do Social Media. They tell me It's much harder to hit a moving target.
(Also too many ex wives and angry mothers out there! )

 

[Malika]

Then keep your eyes out at the website, or otherwise the Vanguard Miniatures section over at Tactical Command.

 

[SirFrog]

If you wanna scale down 28mm to 6mm, just exchange the inches for measurements for half centimetres.

28 mm / 6 mm ~= 4.67
2.54 cm / .5 cm ~= 5.08

Close enough.

 

[Malika]

Personally I always divide everything by 5 when translating 28mm scale into 6mm.

In the meantime, the prints for the models have arrived:

And with some conversion work these would make great 6mm Ork trucks:

[Azzabat]

I like those Orks. They look fantastic.

Any idea when they'll be out?

 

[Malika]

They will be sent to the caster ASAP, I can imagine in the coming weeks. Will of course keep you posted.

For those interested in 6mm GorkaMorka, look what Vanguard Miniatures just released:

Skinnerz Sneakers Commandoes:

Sneakers are what Tusculum Nova’s forces have designated these skinnerz special forces troops because they always tend to turn up where they are least expected. Unlike most skinnerz these warriors are rarely seen committed to all out frontal assaults on enemy front line positions but are specialists in long range recon and raiding duties with destruction of enemy rear area installations a common target.

40 x Skinnerz commandoes in a ratio of 20 x rifle troops and 20 x melee weapons troops

£7.00

http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/skinnerz-sneakers-commandoes/

Skinnerz Commando Specialists:

Sneakers specialists carry the usual infantry support weapons used by regular skinnerz forces in addition they are commonly equipped with flamethrowers and demolition charges and several member will carry sniper rifles a practice unheard of amongst the skinnerz regulars. These troops are lead by experienced veterans of many missions behind enemy lines.

20 x specialists and 5 x command figures

4 x HMG

4 x rocket launcher

4 x flamethrower

4 x sniper

2 x prone sniper

2 x radio operator

3 x leaders

1 x banner bearer

1 x big boss

Whose us? You, obviously, but how many others?

"Us" is a bit of a relative term here. With us I mean Vanguard Miniatures who is run by a fellow named John Fielding. Ben Skinner has done most of the design work, but I've started doing some stuff for Vanguard as well. In this campaign it are (at the moment) the Tainted Hecate Interceptor and Novan Regulars Tribune Heavy Tank.

Upcoming stretch goal for Vanguard Miniatures' crowdfunder:

With a diameter of 18mm this might be a fun vehicle for Grotz?

Gobblers Field Artillery Perk
Hi Backers,

I have now released the latest stretch goal perk this time the Skinnerz Gobblers Light Field Artillery set towed. There is a single and triple set option available.

Thanks again for backing my campaign Regards John

New campaign perk available.
Gobblers Light Field Guns Set
Skinnerz utilise a wide variety of light artillery pieces to support their armies, these are commonly towed by fast tractors enabling them to be rapidly deployed on the battlefield.
Each Gobblers light artillery set contains, 4 x Tractor Vectors, 4 x Field Pieces (1 of each ) and 20 x Gobblers crew figures (2 sets of 10).
Note that there is still some detail work to do on these yet and the rocket model will be a separate item.
