RE: Mecha miniatures

The Armorcast guys do a Battletech game at the local cons, 10-15 Mech on
each 
side.  Plus battlesuits and infantry, etc.

For 28mm scale, there's Armorcast:
http://www.armorcast.com

They have beautiful -- but HUGE -- resin 28mm BattleTech mechs.  A
little
too big for gaming purposes, I think, but you never know.

They also have some smaller items under "Steamers".  These are meant to
be
steam-powered war machines, but with a bit of effort you could make them
look a little more futuristic.	I particularly like the "Deathballs",
personally.

Hellion productions:

...is doing resin 28mm "Cav" models, which look quite nice.  A bit
pricy,
and again these are BIG models, but excellent work.  I really like this
one:

Finally, there's Games Workshop.  The Tau, one of the 40K races, have
several different varieties of battlesuits available, and they look like
very archetypical mecha designs.  In terms of size, they are also a lot
more
playable than the stuff above.	Like most GW products, though, they
ain't
cheap.
