I run a small miniatures company called Microworld Games specializing in 6mm fantasy and scifi miniatures. We just released our 8th 6mm fantasy army, Lizardmen, in addition to some extras for existing armies.

Group shot with assorted infantry and Cavalry:


Triceratops Battlewagon:




Anklyosaur Ballista:


Command group:


Lizard Warriors Closeup:


Brachiosaur:


And a group shot for scale:



I also released some Dread elf Spearmen:


Orc Archers and Goblin Wolf Riders:

Awesome new release, I love everything you produce. The expansion of the orcs to include wolf riders and archers is very welcome, that range is starting to look more complete. Just needs some artillery, chariots and more big gribblies to finish it off!

I've seen a few people use your armies to make 6mm Kings of War armies since that ruleset is well-suited to massive-scale battles.

Just convert inches to cm and everything's good to go!

I'd really like to see a generic fantasy human army produced, that's the one I'd be most interested in buying and seems like the biggest gap in your product range currently.

The viking/giant army is cool enough, but not really my thing when it comes to human armies.

Heh, reminds me of dinobots.

Interesting stuff though, I must say.

They are nicely detailed for only 6mm

They are awesome, but do you individually paint each tiny 6mm model ? I didn't realize models still got their own individual bases at that scale. I'm assuming there are movement trays to keep them together, or what do people use for that?

Edit: Wow! Looking at your sci-fi range, I love the TEF range, particularly the Infernus Superheavy Tank. Can you tell me if this model is going to be re-stocked, as it's listed as "Sold Out"? The standard TEF infantry are also listed as "Sold Out".



Now that is sweet and something I'd be really tempted by.

Fething Immense!

I'm really getting into smaller scales and your stuff is just fantastic. Great work

I'm assuming those are intended mostly for Warmaster and that system used strip bases of about 10 models in two ranks of five. IIRC the actual Warmaster models came on 5 man strips for normal infantry and 2 man strips for archers.

Warmaster was in 10mm scale, so these are even smaller than that.

@scarletsuig
I have held off from doing human armies because the vikings weren't a great seller, and because there are a lot of 6mm historicals that can pull double duty as fantasy models. That said, I have a crusader type human army in the works with angels and nephilim and such.

@RiTides
The Standard infantry have actually been restocked, I just have to sort them and update the store. The Infernus is actually a bit of a problem, the model has to be redesigned for molding issues. The wheels fit in cavities in the axles, but the molds tend to tear causing the axle holes to fill.

I went with single basing because I had heard that strips are a bit tougher on molds. Also, I like the freedom of individually based miniatures. There are actually a bunch of cool generic mass battle rules out there that use element basing like Warmaster. Bombshell Games just released Mayhem, which is looking pretty awesome. Might Armies by Rebel Minis is a great uick play ruleset that is easily moddable. Chipco's Fantasy Rules!3 or TCE are great sets. 3 in particular has everything under the sun as far as fantasy wargaming goes. Pride of Lions is also pretty cool, but if you use the recommended basing, in 6mm it would be a ton of figs!

Bummer about the Infernus... Do you sell "miscast" ones? No axle cavity doesn't sound bad to me...
