*** This is a work in progress -  not complete! ***
I thought I'd update Chris's list and add my own comments in:
I added the follwing categories:
SCALE: The scale as I've determined with comments as to scalability versus Epic-Armageddon.
MAKSIM's COMMENTS: Comments from me, Maksim.
CHRIS' COMMENTS: Comnments from Chris.
TERRAIN: If they make terrain...
HUMAN-PROXY: Most manufcturer's make pieces that proxy for humands or humanoids.
ALIENS: If a manufacturers makes aliens that are not the typical human-proxies, I note it here.
LAND VEHICLES: If they make land vehicles including wheeled, grav, tracked, grav, hovercraft, etc....
FLYERS: If they make flyers including helicopters, atmospheric craft, and space-capable craft capable of entering the atmosphere for ground support...
INFANTRY: If they make infantry including man-portable support weapons...
==================
- 15mm.co.uk.
SCALE: [Large 6mm or 1/285] ...actually around 7 - 9mmm for most pieces... They go well with the latest Epic pieces.
MAKSIM's COMMENTS: I like this line and the prices are good. They do come cast on horrendous stubs are no fun to cut off.
TERRAIN: None.
HUMAN-PROXY: Yes.
ALIENS: None.

SCALE: [Large 6mm or 1/285]
MAKSIM's COMMENTS: I love Armorcast.
TERRAIN: Yes.
HUMAN-PROXY: Yes. They make several pieces for Battletech including bunkers, factories, a nuclear power plant, and some other assorted buildings.
ALIENS: Yes. They made some organic factory pieces that were amde for 28mm, but make awesome 6mm Tyranid / Bio-baddie terrain. I think these peices might be OOP now. Not even L-4 has them!

==================
- Command Horizon by Baccus.
SCALE: [5mm or 1/300]

==================
- Ironwind Metals.
SCALE: [Large 6mm or 1/285]
MAKSIM's COMMENTS: These guys took over from Ral Partha and continued production of the Battletech lines. Most of the Battletech pieces are large 6mm, but a few of the MWDA collectible game pieces are 10mm.

- Irregular:
SCALE: [6mm or 1/285]

CHRIS' COMMENTS: Yes, they do 6mm too. No doubt in the same style as their other ranges. I can't bring myself to buy any to find out though. I quote from below "suitable for a high contrast impressionistic painting technique."
TERRAIN: Yes.
HUMAN-PROXY: Yes.
ALIENS: Yes. They actually make Daleks! The 6mm sci-fi posh pacl comes witha  neat assortment of Star Wars-like aliens.

==================
- Mainly Military:
SCALE: [6mm or 1/285]
MAKSIM's COMMENTS: They have two lines of scenery, a modern / WWII microarmor line and a sci-fi line with a lunar colony. The sci-fi line has both resin and white metal vehicles, mostly flyers and large ground vehicles. The scenery line is alrge with very few vehicles choices.

==================
- Majic minitures.

ALIENS:

==================
- Navwar.
SCALE: [5mm or 1/300]
MAKSIM's COMMENTS: Chris may not be aare that Navwar actually had a 6mm sci-fi line, which is now OOP. It had a pulp retro feel to it. And they make an extensive line of 6mm WWII, moderns, metal scenery, and even sea-going vessels.
CHRIS' COMMENTS: Ok not sci fi, but still a useful place to browse if you want to spend all your money and can drop by the shop. In fact a useful prompt for other 6mm stuff to come in!
TERRAIN: Yes.
HUMAN-PROXY: Yes.
ALIENS: Yes. The OOP sci-fi line had a retro-pulp Mars feel to it...
