Setting up my first Five Parsecs campaign gives me some choices such as which scale of miniatures to use as I have some 28mm SF (and lots of historical/fantasy minis that might be useful) and quite a lot of 15mm SF.
Figure options
15mm
Alternative Armies have several ranges that can work for this, particularly Laserburn and HoF, which have different aliens and a variety of human types. Ground Zero Games also have a wide range and an unbelievably good postal response to orders. There is a small range from CP Models with plenty of character.
28mm
Lots of options including the Stargrave plastics where probably a sprue of crew and a sprue of mercenaries will cover off your crew needs with maybe another couple of sprues to provide opponents. They are available from North Star who also have metals in the Stargrave and Copplestone Castings ranges, as well as plastic Frostgrave cultists who can be customised with SF weapons to give another option.
The metal ranges from CP Models have plenty of nice options for aliens and humans including separate heads, weapons and equipment for customisation. Alternative Armies also have plenty of options in this scale as well.
My choice is to go with 28mm in the end despite having plenty of painted and unpainted 15mm SF.
For terrain I'll mainly be using paper models from Dave Graffam downloaded from Wargames Vault.
