Re: DSII : Infantry mini's

I use a variety of mini's for my DSII infantry.

GW Epic scale plastics are pretty cheap (or used to be, I haven't even
looked
at GW stuff in a couple of years) but I don't prefer the chunky look.  I
have
a lot of imperial gurad and a few space marines that I keep around for
occasions when I run out of different infantry types.

Mostly I use Scotia's 1/300th sci-fi infantry.	These are not bad
castings,
close to scale (almost all sci-fi infantry is too big), and they have a
variety of different packs.  I especially like the prone rocket teams. 
I use
these for my GMS gunners.  I base four standard infantry per rifle team.
 APSW teams have a a Scotia lying trooper and a prone trooper with
support
weapon on a small sled.  FO teams get an officer and one trooper, etc. 
I
have some of the CMD infantry that I use mostly as assault infantry. 
They
are hunkered over and carrying small squarish guns and big backpacks. 
They
look to me like plasma gunners, so make assault troops.  For Powered
armor, I
use some of the bigger lines of "6mm" infantry.  These include Scotia's
battle armored troops, the old Alternative Armies Crusader cityscape
packs,
and Battletech/Ogre infantry.  At this scale, you could probably also
use
some of the variuos modern infantry.  A little different paint scheme,
maybe
a few barrels trimmed here and there, and you've got lower tech sci-fi
infantry.

Good looking infantry adds a lot to your force and you'll want plenty
since
DSII infantry is usually a major pain in the ass to your opponent.
