Yup, micro machines. GDW used to do true 25mm figures (actually really nice, I have a large army painted for No Limits).

Although I started this thread I must re locate my efforts and enforce another of my dreams Dr Who....

Wait guys! I'm not saying an army of Daleks against Dr who! I'm talking about using the DW univers.

I must also point out that I'm talking classic Dr who, not the new stuff... Dr who died at Maccoy in my book.... although I did like Chrisy E....  the movie didn't exist... Although the bit at the start were Mcoy got Uzied was good... So I don't count macoy!... So it ended with baker The 2nd... Although.... He dint have much a chance so he was pants... So it Ended with davidson.... Wait no... Adric, Nissa, Tellor and Tegan (she was SJane but worse!) spoilt Davidson... Tom... It's Tom people.... Genius of the Daleks, Robots of death, Talons. Of Weng Chang, Robot, Morbius, Revenge of the cybermen, S J, Leela, Romana 1... It's Tom   

So armies of Cybermen (read cybermen by David banks! One of the best books ever!) Darleks, Draconions, Galifrayons....

IP must be lose as Blacktree design / Harlequin do 25mm Dr who. Unless they pay a lincencing fee to the BBC?

I believe they took out a licence YONKS ago (or had some arrangement with the Beeb from way back.)
I would reckon the marketing division of 'Auntie' is a lot more in tune with IP nowadays...
I'll do some checking the next time I speak to an old colleague.

Cheers - Phil.

There is a company somewhere who own rights to produce the figures, which I believe were purchased in the 90's (?) when it was off TV and the BBC had no plans for any more?  AndyMac might be able to jump in, as he's a rather large fan of the good Doctor.

Wasn't there some 1:144th Star Wars stuff I saw somewhere ages ago?

Yes! AMT/Eartl produced a diorama kit based on Battle of Hoth 1:144. In the box there are 2 AT-AT, 1 crippled AT-AT, 1 AT-ST, 4 Snow speeders, 6 laser towers and cannons, several Snowtrooper and Rebels soldiers. Another AMT.... kit reproduced the interior of Echo rebel base with a rebel transport, several X and Y wings and a set of movie characters, including Darth Vader. I used these kits to run a demo game many many years ago in an Italian convention. The troopers are ugly but the AT-... and vehicles are really nice.

In any case I wish an improve of Pendraken SF range so this request for stormtroopers is very wellcome. Could also request a restyling for arachnid??

Oh wait... Micro machines did do two star wars releases. The 'space fleet' that was about 10mm crap models although the ships and also the atat atst and such were nice, the ships are way out of scale but the chickens were fine.

There was a 2nd gen Micros had the men at around 15mm and the being and such to scale. I had a load of these.... I miss them :-(

So we could use 1st gen atst and atats and mix in pen sci fi and possibly some of the micro m models, I Belive the Ewoks were decent models... On that note, leave the Ewoks alone!

Knight models used to do fantastic 54mm & 30mm star wars figures. but now discontinued  http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=41

What's the fascination with Starwars stormtroopers anyway? The armour can't even keep out small-arms fire. They'd be better off without it. And as for those clumsy, clanking walkers..... do me a favour!
