For SF and/or Historical and/or Fantasy?

It does make a difference.

Have sent a copy to the 6mm lsit I frequent also.

I use Historical Modern for SF mostly. Details to follow,

There's a company in England you might try, "Ground Zero Games"....

I just bought some DS2 minis (along with the 15mmSG and a few Islamic ships)
and they have more detail than I expected. I'd been hoping I could get away
with a couple of swipes of the paintbrush but I may find myself painting faces
on 6mm KraVak shortly.

Looking for best source for 6mm troops. Please advise.

Also 1/300 scale vehicles and aircraft

The DS range is very well sculpted, with impressive detail for figures that
small. I recommend it highly.

Thanks for the suggestions

I'm already looking into GZG, I was hoping for additional figs, perhaps to
flesh out an opforce.

Please let me know what your thoughts are,

You could try

Scotia http://website.lineone.net/~grendel.co/scotiamicromodels.html - I
have a few of the less exotic SciFi and the modern range, quite
good detail the xxxx-2000 figures (Abrams-2000, Leopard-2000...) are
standard Modern vehicles but with rail guns and remote turrets, the 3000
versions have hover skirts as well and the 4000 range have
"anti-grav".
If your opponents vehicle recognition skill's aren't too good a South African
force will make good wheeled vehicles.

These are quite expensive for vehicles but the Infantry are quite impressive
(they are recognisable as 6mm versions of the 25mm
Denizen range) (http://www.ainsty.co.uk/index.htm)

Or Irregular http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/
I have some of these - they are relatively cheap but lacking in detail
compared to the GZG Dirtside figures.

Pat,

here are the sites I like. I use mostly figs from the Dirtside range and
others lines as fill in.

Well, I am of the school (for historicals figures) that too much detail
defeats the purpose and/or "mass effect" of the scale but if they are
really *that* good I might have to reconsider...

Still waiting for my order from the local shop (via distributor) of GZG 6mm
stuff to arrive.

No Comment? Thought that was "my" line... <grin>

Has anyone seen/own the HardKill infantry figures (3 types: light,
heavy, marine) I was seriously thinking of buying some through (senior moment,
Regal?) but they said they did not carry them (except stock left - no
infantry) because of (among other things) quality issues.   No further
explanation.  Did they suffer from the Irregular syndrome - some great,
some okay, some... not okay?
