Let me toss out a thought here...
SJ Games has a product called "Cardboard Heros" One book of fantasy, one book of "modern" (which seems to be lots of super-hero types), and Traveller ones in their deck plans.
I have the fantasy set, all cut out. While they are nice they should have had way more actual miniatures instead of filling space with tons of the same dead body on the floor, pile of coins, etc.
I managed to pick up all six sets of plans at Gencon for a mere $20, I think they were either $10 or $20 originally. Since I'll probably never get the sheets again I'm going to see about scaning them in and printing them out on cardboard stock so I'll always have them.
While the name "Cardboard Heros" is taken, anyone putting out pdf's of GOOD minis we can print out would be great.
And to go with them, SJ Games makes bases for the minis... I've got five different sets (red, black, white, grey, and yellow) and use them to color code PCs, NPCs, monsters/animals, etc.
