Retyping the post the forum ate Grr....
I am rather interested in Roberts Avians as I am interested in doing something like GW's Kroot in 15mm.
I also remember Gropos a lot of nice figures saddled by probably the most unorigional rule set I have ever seen, but then it was just this sort of thing that Q13 is good for fixing.
If You like Battle tech I would direct you towards the Reaper CAV range which is 10mm & note that Battle Tech miniatures are still available. Spirit Games still stocks them for example.
