Games Workshop (Yes, the evil GW) has replaced it's old 6mm Epic Space
Marine game with a new Epic 40K game (which IMHO is a great game, maybe,
just maybe, even better than DSII in some ways). And new figures.

Anyway, there are lots of copies of the old game, each with 120 Space
Marine and another 120 Eldar (and 120 Orks). Basic, but in large
quantities, with good square bases fitting 5 infantry each. The SMs (and
Eldar, with a single snip of the nailclippers) are good heavy- and
medium- infantry respectively. The Orks... well, sell them to someone.
And they're relatively cheap too. The eldar vehicles are excellent
general-purpose Grav Tanks, the SM and Ork vehicles virtually useless,
except if you're playing Epic. And even then, they're not that great.
