It
turns out, it is really difficult to photograph 6mm infantry, which is probably just
as well as it is also really hard to paint 6mm infantry. All of that said, I gave
it a go! Here are the first two squads of a mechanized infantry company that
will support my Firehawks Legion Mechs. (Actually,
only one squad is actually pictured, but the other looks almost identical).
The
infantry and APCs come from Brigade Models ‘Hammer’s Slammers’ line*. I like
these because they are just a bit bigger than their other 6mm stuff and seem to
fit better with the Battletech mechs. As you can see, they look great with a
Locust looming over them.
* Saying that, I can't seem to find these specific minis on there, but similar ones are available.
Really cool shot!
ReplyDeleteCombined arms is the way to go in my opinion and looks so much more sensible compared to mech only lances.
I've been searching for APCs that I like for my Davion rangers, these look perfect.
Mechs are the undisputed kings of the battlefield but you will always need the infantry to shoot politicians and suppress the population that refuses to be ruled.
ReplyDeleteI love combined arms as well. Nothing discourages rear shots like an infantry platoon 90m behind the mech. Enjoying the blog. Keep up the good work!
