BKC in 6mm

[Subedai]

My infantry are H&R and I find them in scale with the vehicles, it was a bit of a bu**er painting the camo smocks on the infantry though. Which is why I only painted one battalion instead of the nine. In 6mm WW II that would have been silly.

What do you think of Adler?

I like them. Probably too big for H&R tanks though fit in pretty well with GHQ

Ok

If it was me I would go H&R then maybe Irregular for infantry as some of it isnt that bad at all

Not a clue. The place I got my stuff from sold the H&R inf as well, made sense to me.

Irregular aren't bad, I have their Japanese and Western Desert Brits, the Crusaders are a bit basic mind you. The advantage with Irregular is that you can get a variety of the same thing ie on some of my Russian T-34/85's  they have tank riders or bits of stowage moulded on. It really all depends on how much detail you want, after all, Peter Laing 15mm were a bit basic but with a half decent paint job they looked as good as anyone else's. The only potential problem with the Irregular infantry is that they come in 4 figs to a base for the PBI or 2 heavy weapons plus crews. If you use them as a squad you will be fine.

Thanks guys, all great advice.

I suppose the bottom line with the infantry is, if I don't like certain ones, they only cost pennies

You should get two for that , both sides with the trimmings

Early war or "rubbish heavy" armies might be more awkward but even so infantry are cheap
