A month ago we announced that two Dark Trolls and a Giant miniature were available for pre-order. Unfortunately, despited repeated attempts, we could not get the giant to cast properly.
We knew the giant was pushing our equipment to the very limit of its capacity but it appears we had pushed a little bit too far. [...]

Death of a Giant
Six Dee Six = Miniatures Photo Gallery
Killing two birds with one stone, I’ve set-up a Facebook account specifically for 6d6 Fireball under the name of Six Dee Six Fireball (Facebook doesn’t allow numbers in names) and uploaded the results of our latest photo-shoot.

The photos are the main reason for using Facebook as I wanted an easy to [...]
Unboxing 6d6 Miniatures
What do you get when you buy a box of 6d6 Fireball’s miniatures? Have a look at these photos of a Quorakon War-Party being unpacked.
The unopened box. For scale, it is about 8.5cm by 6.5cm by 3cm (3.5″ by 2.5″ by 1.25″).
Unpopping the clasps.
Off comes the lid.
Out comes the inlay.
The first of three weapon [...]
Its Not Easy Being Green
Going Retail Raises New Problems
Being environmentally responsible is one of the fundamental goals of 6d6. Admittedly, we are in a business that involves working with metals and that carries a fairly heavy environmental cost but apart from that, we wanted to be as green as we could. Even if it made our products more expensive.
Our [...]
Gigantic Giant
You could describe the development process of our miniature range as random but a more polite term would be idiosyncratic. We’ve never seen the point of creating any standard monsters miniatures. After all, if you want orcs, there are already hundreds available from a variety of manufactures. We prefer to create distinctive miniatures that are [...]
PDFs 2 Miniatures 4
Not the score of a really bizarre football (soccer) match but the end product of a very busy week at 6d6 Fireball that has involved the launch of new adventures and new miniatures.
Monday saw a preview of our Dark Trolls and an associated article about Making Monsters Different.
Tuesday was an easy day, because I had [...]
Are They Heroes or Villains?
Four character concepts standing on the edge between good and evil.
Drax the Chain
Raised up in the roughest part of Dayspring, Drax is a born street fighter and always the first to resort to violence. But he is no simple street thug, he is a man with goal. He believed his Grandfather’s stories about how the [...]
New Miniatures: Heroes Or Villains
New Miniatures Launched Today
Available from today, the new Heroes or Villains pack of character figures incorporating four distinctive designs from Rob Grimley. These figures are perfect for heroes who stride forth and smite evil but they are just as effective as evil doers, agents of the darkness who will stop at nothing to reach their [...]
Dark Trolls Preview
“Good God, They’re Massive”
Was my reaction the first time Rob showed me his prototypes for the new Dark Troll figures. When he told me about them several weeks earlier I had imagined something a little bit larger than our Quorakon chieftain. Instead, Rob has design two figures twice the size of our previous record. Don’t [...]
Celebhith, Troll-hunter
The final updates to the catalog are complete with a couple of new photos including this one of Celebhith, Troll-hunter
This half-elven ranger is a bit of an oddity because it requires some assembly. The forearms and sword are cast as a spru on the figure’s base. These need to be detached (using pliers for preference [...]
