  We report magnetic and electrical properties for single crystals of
NdMn$_6$Sn$_6$ and SmMn$_6$Sn$_6$. They crystallize into a structure which has
distorted, Mn-based kagome lattices, compared to the pristine kagome lattices
in heavy-rare-earth-bearing RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ compounds. They are hightemperature
ferromagnets of which the R moment is parallel with the Mn moment. We observed
a large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect (AHE) that is comparable to the
ferrimagnetic, heavy-R siblings in a wide range of temperature. We conclude
that their intrinsic AHE is stemming from the Mn-based kagome lattice, just as
in the heavy RMn$_6$Sn$_6$.
