Instant Armies

Home page

The first selection of armies sold very quickly and I have been trying to find time to work on more but have been so busy with commissions that I have only just managed to get another one done.

There are a number of armies on the workbench but it looks like being a while before I get to them.

After doing a commission for a client using some of the GZG 6mm Science Fiction range (see the Galleries for pics of these) I quite fancied doing some as an Instant Army - so here they are.

The 'Army' is a company designed for use with the Dirtside rules but they could be used with most 'near future' Sci-Fi rules.

What you get :  24 vehicles : 4 tanks, 8 MICV, 10 APC & 2 Missile support vehicles. 28 Infantry elements : 17 Rifle teams (4 fig), 2 Assault teams (5 fig), 7 APSW teams (2 fig) & 2 command teams (3 fig) – 98 figures in all

All vehicle and Rifle and Assault team bases are 40x20mm and APSW and command teams are 20mm square.

Painted with acrylic paint followed by 2 coats of matt varnish. Based on heavy, stiff card backed with magnetic vinyl sheet.

Price is £170 (plus shipping)
