Heroics and Ros Figures manufacture wargames figures in 1/300th scale (6mm) in all periods from ancient warriors to modern tanks.
Founded in 1973 the company has sold millions of these tiny models all over the world.

Even though the scale is very small (a foot figure is 6mm or 1/4 inch tall) the detail is perfectly clear and precisely molded. With normal care the metal is very durable.

Ideally suited for large scale battle dioramas, they form exhibits in a number of museums. The military vehicles are accurate. Several armies use them en masse for effective visual displays of enemy organisations and formations; and individually for highly for highly successful training courses in military vehicle recognition.

The figurines are used in large numbers by wargames and wargame clubs. Unlike larger scale figurines they make the best use of table space, and a 2 metre by 1.5 metre table (6 feet by 4 feet) will allow big battles to be simulated, or the area will allow smaller formations ample space for preliminary scouting, wide, sweeping maneuvers, or artillery duels.

Surprisingly easy to paint they can be quickly finished in basic colours to create forces rapidly, or they can be carefully detailed and will reward hour of labour. The metal (which contains lead) will take enamel paints, acrylics, oils or alkyds.

We have always held that 1/300th scale was the ideal scale for wargaming, and our experience over the last quarter century has not changed our mind.

They are small and take up little space when not in use; they are very inexpensive - a first army can be built for the value of a few coins; they cover most periods and new models are always being added; skilled or unskilled, anyone can paint them for good effect; and when the forces are on the table, battle lines are drawn, maneuvers underway, they reassemble the real thing far more closely than any other scale can.
