Massless chiral fields of arbitrary spin in 6d, which are higher spin generalisation of self-dual 2-forms, admit a simple formulation in terms of a pair of 0- and 2- forms valued in SL(2,H) symmetric tensors. We will discuss how to construct simple interacting theories using this description, and how to generalise them to arbitrary even dimensions.
