The terrain stuff that Chiltern carry is nothing to do with GeoHex - it
is
a system of very small foam hexes (abnout 100mm across). Very pretty,
but
not very practical for game-table areas. GeoHex's system is based on
approx. 300mm hexes and other bits.

very
fine stuff, though I haven't looked at the Leopold you mention. Chiltern
also carry/import some very unusual 1/24 scale (ie BIG) resin SF figure
kits from a French company (Phebus); there are a couple of drones and
big
PA suits in the range that would serve for 25mm 'mechs etc; however
these
are collector's kits, not game items, and priced accordingly (about £20
for
a 100mm tall PA suit).
