Re: Mini Related Questions

G'day Charles,

 >I got round to having a look - very nice!

Thanks.

 >One question, are the Darleks 6mm?

 >if so, how did you make them?

They're Irregular Miniatures "Attack Robots" which I buy off Nic at
Eureka 
(2 for 55c Aussie or something like that). The heavies I built by
lopping 
of the Dalek "nose, gun and sink plunger" and putting on a bit of brass
rod 
instead, but you can buy heavies now too (I just haven't got around to
it 
yet). The emperor, special, engineering and suicide Daleks were also
made 
from normal stock by judicious use of "modellers tubing" and small
pieces 
of plastic disc. The marine Daleks I made from scratch though using
brass 
rod and small beads (cheapest gaming figures ever at 5c a pop!). All up
not 
too much extra effort needed and they're heaps of fun to play. The 
additional fun thing being you can justifiably lob the odd nuke, I don't
do 
it ever game but the odd one to keep them on their toes is fun ;)
A more useful tactic for armies built around a small number of superior 
tech vehicles and heaps of infantry is artillery dropped minefields,
VERY 
useful!

Cheers

Beth
