The problem with GW/Citadel isn't that they're too expensive (IMHO). Maybe
it's just me with my "modeller's eye" or whatever, but have you ever
compared a GW figure to a real person? That's right, they're cartoonish --
the figure isn't properly sized with the overlarge hands, heads, and feet,
not to mention weapons. Ral Partha is much better, but they're still not
quite real-world proportions.

Ral Partha, Grenadier (especially Grenadier UK), Ground Zero Games (if they
still exist; anyone know?) and others as well. Too bad Denizen is out of
production, their SF figures would make real good corp troopers...
