Thanks! The A-10 is from Hobbymaster, they do them in two sorts, that one, and one in Green camo, Easy models does a few dead cheap too. I'll look up Altaya, see what I can drag out of them  :D.

As for the AAV7A1, I don't even think they do them in 20mm anymore let alone 28mm, which is a mighty shame!
There are AAV7's in 28mm available.  :-)

Thanks for the comments by the way guys, just shifting through what else I could actually stick on here, still painting through my British Army, and my German Army needs some infantry and battle tanks (which I can both get fairly easy).

Talking of PLA, S&S do some which will be fantastic, just need some modern 20mm Indian Army as one of the main opposition sorts!!

Just watched Battle: Los Angeles: I am really hoping someone makes some 20mm aliens of a respectable nature (no greys or things similar too) Elheim informed me he was slooowly going down that route, but anyone know of anything else?

Great work, and best of all a fantastic story, imho the basis of all great campaigns.

btw, the US debt angle is more likely to happen than not.....
"...and as always, we are dealing with strange forces far beyond our comprehension...."

All limitations are self imposed.  Work hard and dream big.

Same here, I want some decant near futer alian invasion action going on. Also waiting for Elheim to flush ou there US Army OITV range so I can have active/Natinal Guard right aginst the invaders in my own back yard. Who are you useing for modern 20mm Germans? How are they size wise to Elheim mins?
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

I was using revell plastics, but have really gone of using them (probably get given to my cousin) will more than likely be replacing them with S&S Germans, which look very good and I am told would more than fit size wise. In fact looking at S&S stuff I will be using all his stuff for a PLA force and a Dutch Force now he has made infantry for it. I'd like someone to do 20mm Modern Swedes and Norwegians, Finns etc for Arctic war with Russia.

As for aliens, I found no 20mm stuff, however I can put up links to companies that make 15mm aliens big enough to be considered 20mm if that helps.

Decided I'd list down all Manufacturers that produce models that can be used for 20mm Wargaming (or collecting etc) As well as some stuff that may possibly be used for 20mm sci fi Wargaming, will list a few sites that sell a collection of the stuff too...

20mm Moderns

http://elhiemfigures.com/ - The one we all know about, producing a wide range of awesome 20mm figs you can use for a number of scenarios, so far mostly Middle Eastern based, Cold War with some African and Israeli stuff. Produces some characterful sets in the form of pulp fiction, some sci fi bits, but most of all Zombies!!!

http://www.underfireminiatures.com/ - Some of the best sculpts around in 20mm, again mostly Afghanistan/Iraqi campaign based troops, some ultra modern Brits in osprey, do alot of South African wars (selous scouts etc) WW2 stuff. Best of all however, the manufacturer has a sizeable range of ultra modern Russians, and plans to do some Ultra modern Georgians (which can effectively be used for a number of modern forces). May be slightly taller than other 20mm figures, but not by much.

http://sandsmodels.com/ - Need to email these guys to get a full listing, but they produce modern vehicles you practically won't find anywhere else on the market (including Patria vehicles, the CV series etc for Scandinavian states) They also do (and this company is the only company out there to do this) Modern Chinese PLA Infantry and vehicles. However they also produce German, Dutch and Afghan troops!

http://www.stonewallfigures.co.uk/ - Mostly World War 2 20mm figures, they do however produce some Iraq war U.S troops, but also produce a small range of Northern Ireland/Urban chaos styled figures and 1980s Afghan War types.

http://www.rhmodels.com/ - Another company that produces a wide range of stuff, however I find these to be difficult to get your hands on outside of shows (and not to my tastes I might add) but the variety is quite extensive! Produce Russians as well!

http://www.wartimeminiatures.com.au/ - Only company to do some Modern Australian forces, they also do some Russians, range appears limited but they are very good!

When it comes to diecast or kits, I find it very difficult to actually find the sites of the producers but here are a list of companies that can provide some stuff.
http://www.italeri.com/ - Imo Best kits around, they even do a Modern Italien Attack Helicopter
http://www.revell.com/
http://www.icm.com.ua/ - Mostly produce Russian WW2 stuff, but they do make a lot of Cold War era vehicles, they are not as good as Italieri, but they produce stuff many others don't. Worth a shot
Dragon Military Diecasts - Very detailed but damned expensive.
Altaya - Not as heavily detailed as Dragon stuff but they produce a bigger variety, may be hard to get hold of but also a lot cheaper if found in stores, a bit more expensive on the web!!

Sci fi 20mm Stuff

http://thesceneuk.com/index.php main_page=product_info&cPath=16_91&products_id=553

These Minis are 21mm in height, as you can see perfect 20mm troopers for a sort of terminator styled army!

http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/#15mmscifi

Khuarsan are currently going through a phase of rearranging their stuff, however, some of their aliens (like the Garm) are big enough to fit into 20mm wargames, there is a race they do which is apparently 25mm in height, but they have been taken of the list for now.

http://www.micropanzer.com/forum/index.php?topic=28.0 - Though these are only in the making (they are coming out some time this fall, Micropanzers new alien race is apparently big enough for 20mm wargaming (they are around 20mm in scale I heard) and look pretty darn awesome at that

***EDIT*** the first link just takes people straight to the home page site, not the figs, the figs are the large Robots on the bottom left hand corner with product code HAD002 called heavy androids they are 21mm ***EDIT***
