Can anyone here recommend any other sci0fi genre game or is GW the market leader?

I have seen some great models for other games but have no idea what they are like to play. Things like...

Malifaux
Privateer Press (WM and Hordes)
Anima Tactics
Dystopian Wars (Spartan Games)

Hybrid. A pretty fun 52mm scale game in a postapocalyptic fantasy environment, not exactly scifi but still somewhat relavant.

The models come with neodymium magnets and the game has rules for limb losses among other things.

Altogether pretty gruesome, quick to set up and play and rather fun ^^

I can't really suggest much myself. As a converter and a sculptor when it comes to Sci-Fi and Fantasy outside of GW I don't have much options. I am paying a little attention to Mantic, as they look like they are as fluff flexible as the GW games, as well as having a plastic range. Though I think they have a long way to go before they can be considered easy on the eye. I also find the fact that they too often look like a GW Fantasy clone a little off putting. If I wanted to collect GW Fantasy look alikes, I'd play Warhammer Fantasy.

If you are a weeaboo, Infinity might interest you. Not a fan of the wetsuit look myself, but their sculpt quality is pretty decent.

Might be cos it feels more macabre and less hammer horror than current Fantasy. Warmachine and Hordes are also quite frankly excellent.

The thing to remember, and I cannot stress this enough, is NOT. Repeat NOT to charge it into Abbadon the Despoiler. This does not end well.
