6mm WW2 Vehicle Prices in the UK

As part of researching a couple of new projects, I have ended up comparing some prices for different 6mm / 1:285 WW2 vehicles and artillery.  In case this would be useful to others, I have listed the prices below.  These prices are for the 'basic' vehicles: some vehicles from GHQ and Baccus look a bit cheaper in their bigger packs.  I make no comment about the relative aesthetic merits of each manufacturer, but I will note that GHQ and Baccus are definitely larger than the others for all the vehicles I am aware of. 

 

GHQ (from Magister Militum): 

£.2.59/vehicle (in packs of 5 vehicles for £12.95)

for artillery: £2.16/item, where an item is a tow vehicle, a limbered artillery piece and a deployed artillery piece, so each pack has 2 of each.

Baccus:

£1.33/vehicle (in packs of 3 vehicles for £4)

£1/gun for artillery (in packs of 4 guns for £4)

Heroics & Ros:

£0.75/vehicle (available individually; £0.65 for some smaller vehicles, £0.85 for some larger ones)

£0.75/artillery piece (available individually, £0.45 for limbers; there may be an odd more expensive piece)

Irregular Miniatures:

£0.88/vehicle, larger artillery (available individually)

£0.44/small vehicle, smaller artillery (available individually)

Irregular miniatures prices include P&P.

 

Scotia Grendel Productions:

£0.75/vehicle (available individually)

£0.65/smaller vehicle; artillery (available individually)

 

Butler's Printed Miniatures:

£0.77/vehicle (available individually)

£1.00/gun  (available individually)

 

2d6 Wargaming:

£1.20/vehicle (available individually); £1.10 in platoon or company packs - I don't think there is any artillery as yet
