DS2 Infantry Figures

Heroics/Ross does both. As do Scotia (or at least it did, last time I
looked). Irregular is bound to as well, but they may be a bit large.

I am looking for cavalry for DS2.
Does anyone know of any 1/300 or 1/285th scale motorcycle figures. I
tried Micro Armor, but was unable to discover such figures. Not as high on the
priority list is mounted cavalry figures on horses or camels.

Well, there's always GW's bikes, but they don't come many to a pack. Still...
I've got a bunch of old Marine boxes, and can probably spare
some bikes.  How many are you looking for?  (E-mail, please...

I don't recall which line it was, unfortunately, but I've seen 2 or 3
different horse cavalry figs.

GHQ makes micro armor ketteraids, that I know off. I think they do MC also.

As far as 6mm cav, the best I know of is Heroic & Ross.

My "Evil Empire" 6mm game troops use a lot of H&R WWII cav as "Rough Riders".

Heroics and Ros make WWII German cavalry (I think) - and I suspect
Scotia Models make WWII cavalry of some sort or other (German /
Polish / French / Russian).

Thank you everyone for the responses! I will look into Scotia and Heroics.

Aaron, I will let you know if I need you to look into the speeder bikes from
the evil empire <g>. And thank you for the offer. I think that I
was looking about for 10-20. Enough to make 2-3 infantry/cavalry
elements.

Irregular do WW1 and WW2 horsed cavalry, and assorted motorbikes with and
without sidecars (and assorted fantasy cav on unusual mounts) The
animal-mounted stuff is in the usual "elements" of 2 to 5 figs on a
base, while the bikes are single models on a base.

I'm sure Scotia do m/c combinations

Heroics and Ros do m/c combinations, kettenkrads, and bicycle infantry

Scotia MicroModels make 6mm cavalry, in their WW2 line - look for Polish
Cavalry. I have some, haven't played w/ them yet, but the minis
themselves are fairly nice. They have rifles, and some have 'lance' things as
well
-
only one survived the mail in my batch, so there's the unit flag. You get 25
cav for about 1 pound 25.

Scotia also makes motorcycles - with and w/o riders, and w/ w/o sidecars
-
they're in the 'Neutral/Modern/WW2' line, along with assault boats,
mortars, and similar things that lots of people use, and that all looks
identical anyway in 6mm...I don't have any, but they're probably nice -
most of Scotia's stuff is.

I can post Scotia's UK address if anyone needs it - let me know.

If you're not particularly concerned with realistic rendering, Games Workshop
Epic scale stuff has plastic Space Marine bikers and Imperial Guard cavalry
that will fit the bill. Mine are from the previous iteration of the ruleset,
but I'm assuming the current incarnation uses about the same minis. The horse
riders are reasonably generic, and the bikers are PA
Space Marines on Judge Dredd-style bikes. In both cases, it's one fig to
a base.

Irregular actually make there own sci-fi speederbike . Catalogue code
number NSF5.

There are three variants of it too, with one rider, two riders and two riders
with a bazooka. I have seen them used many times as size one vehicles.

Irregular do motorbikes and pushbikes in both their WW1 and WW2 ranges and of
course there is the MAD MAX style bike and sidecar in the
Post-Holocaust
set. They also have a huge amount of cavalry I personally use a lot of stuff
from the Spanish Civil War range.

In 25mm GZG have the motor bike with a choice of FSE or NAC rider and the
first of the cavalry (horses in space at last) have just been moulded here
in Australia this week. They should reach UK and US in 10/14 days time.

I always recommend Irregular 6mm because it is chunkier and much more 'lively'
than H&R in my opinion. Just because I manufacture their range under liscence,
you wouldn't call me biased would you?
