Micropanzer have some really innovative ranges of 15mm sci-fi figures. My favourite are the Gitungi: heavily armoured bipeds reminiscent of the aliens from The Fifth Element or even the Sontarans from Doctor Who. The Gitungi range is has recently been expanded to include new infantry types and a whole range of support weapons,  but is still lacking in anything that could be called an APC or AFV. The Superheavy Tanks, below, come from Khurasan; the Superheavy artillery and anti-aircraft vehicles come from Daemonscape; and the Anti-Aircraft vehicle comes from GZG. The large powered armour troops come from Hasslefree from their line of Grymm Powered Armour types.

Bored of painting troops, even alien troops, in normal colours, for the Gitungi I have gone with something quite extreme. My Gitungi are painted in three shades of gold (paints from Games Workshop) with the Scouts then washed with a light green wash.
