10mm science fiction figures - anyone recognise these castings?

I recently won a small force of 10mm sci-fi vehicles and infantry on eBay. Whilst I probably have sufficient vehicles for a small game it would be nice to obtain more foot-sloggers (say just 20-30 figures). I have asked on Facebook and the suggestion there was that these models were Pendraken. Leon says not.
Does anyone recognise these castings at all, especially the infantry?
As I say, it's the infantry I'm really after - the infantry I have seem to be just 2 poses and a little more variety would be ideal. But if I don't know who makes 'em I can hardly order some reinforcements.
Many thanks,
Geoff

Are they metal or resin. If resin could be Marbeth, long gone I'm afraid. Otherwise no idea

They're metal. A couple of the tanks came away from the bases (presumably when in transit) and the castings look quite rough underneath.

A couple of people on Facebook have suggested the infantry may well be Warrior Miniatures (although some of the vehicles appear to be Irregular Miniatures 6mm castings).

Sadly Warrior Miniatures aren't taking orders/responding to queries at this time... ☹️☹️ Their website doesn't have any images of the sci-fi range, but the figure listing does look hopeful. It looks like I'll need to either wait for Warrior to come back to action or hope I can pick something up from eBay or various bring & buy's.

The vehicles are almost certainly Irregular miniatures 6mm Range.

The Warrior site does have piccies of most of the infantry, do look like your stuff Geoff. I searched Warrior Minatures which bought up the following URL http://www.warriorminiatures.com/. To get to the pictures click on gallery and select the range on the lefthand bar.

Thanks gents.
You correctly identified the castings as Warrior Miniatures. 👏👏👍
My inability to view the images on the Warrior website I can only put down to being "an age thing". I now know what more I need, I just can't obtain them because Warrior are on hiatus at the moment... ☹️
Thanks again,
Geoff
