SFI 001 Marines
These guys are fairly small for Scotia. Obviously older sculpts and a bit weak at the ankles. Most packs include an extra strip to account for breakage. These guys are nevertheless pretty cool. The pose is kind of classic and the armor is very distinct but the details are ambiguous enough that you could paint them up several different ways. This pack also include several of these prone heavy weapon/missile teams:
Again, although they match the marines quite nicely, they could easily be painted up to support tons of other figures. The weapon could be anything from a missile launcher to some sort of energy cannon or target designator. Their versatility is such that they are also included in SFI002 Strike Troops and probably are found in SFI004 Heavy Weapons as well. One final note, these guys are VERY prone (read 'flat') The base is rather thicker than the figures.
This guy with an enormous gun is the final figure type in this pack. I don't know what it's meant to be but it could easily pass for an LMG/SAW or a heavy sniper rifle. His headwear could be virtually anything, again, depending on how it's painted. Like many of these figures, his legs are tiny, not a strength issue here because of the prone pose, but it does look a little odd. The major shortcoming is the fact that he's a single prone figure, which looks a little silly if he's supposed to be representing a weapon team, but might be acceptable for a lone sniper. I'll probably cut the loader/spotter off of some spare missile teams above to provide a loader.
[edit: I somehow forgot to ink and photograph the command figure who I believe is also found in more than one pack. I'll have to make him his own special post at a later date. Officers like that sort of thing]
