Good minis to go with Rackham Cadwe Militia?

So I'm looking to get back into Mordheim and will be using both the Rackham Cadwallon Militia and Cadwe Crossbowmen. I really love their pseudo-Middle Ages attire and how grubby and disheveled the are.
I've been considering buying a second box of them but refuse to pay most retailers ridiculous prices for them (i.e. a discontinued and unsupported mini set for MSRP or only 15% off - WTF!?) and besides, I wouldn't mind a few different poses/weapon loadouts.
Unfortunately, I can't find any companies that make the same type of mini (non-plated-armored, disheveled, semi-realistic looking fantasy figs) or in roughly the same size (~30mm).
Help a brother out?....
Here's an example:

Those are some pretty cool looking minis there.
Have you tried going onto
http://www.coolminiornot.com and perusing the various lines they carry in their store?
CMON's prices aren't that great, but they tend to have good images of everything, so you can get an idea of what you're buying if you can find an e-tailer who carries them at discount.

This place (in UK) is currently on 50% discount. Maybe they have what you need.

My guess is that she's a singer...
...probably in a band.

Rakham metals are neither discontinued or unsupported. It just looks like FFG has some monopoly on who carries them now as they have become the exclusive distributor and the complete line can be perused and purchased from their sight. I have yet to buy anything from it but was considering it. Too bad The War Store doesnt have the line up anymore for some reason.
Have you checked out the Reaper Warlord line?

I think that Jean Bey saying they were no longer doing any Cadwallon RPG supplements, were discontinuing general distribution of Rackham metals, and were shifting the majority of their future production to prepainted plastics pretty much makes them both discontinued and unsupported to the gaming community. It's not rocket science.
I have seen the Warlord line (have a few minis from it as well) and, while they're nice, they are all 28mm and heroically-proportioned....
