Peter Pig also has a 15mm SF range - several types of human troops,
colonists, and some aliens. I've got a pair of their dropships, which
are
pretty good - very well cast, even if some of the detail is goofy, but
that's fixable. PP has a webpage - see my site for that URL.

There, I think that's everyone...did I leave anyone out?

Hope you do decide to get into 15mm SG2 - it's the best scale to do it
in,
I believe. Cheaper, and the figure-to-ground scale issue isn't as bad -
the table looks a lot less cramped. There's a lot of figures out there
as
well, if you know where to look!
