Are you willing to paint or are you looking for pre paints?
If you are willing to paint (or spray and then dip in furniture stain) then Mantic Miniatures has a decent price on plastic orcs, undead, elves, and dwarves,. Ifyou buy in bulk it works out to less than a dollar a figure.
I have a lot of the undead range, which looks excellent when spray painted a bone coloured cream / yellow and then washed black. I also have a bunch of dwarves, which are decent but not as good as the undead.
If you live in the states, ebay should work well for you (cheap shipping). If you see cheap and horribly painted pewter or plastic minis, there is a cleaning product called Simple Green that is nontoxic and biodegradable. An overnight soak in a bucket and a scrub with a toothbrush should strip the old bad paint away without harming the miniature.
@S'mon - Have you considered using either a brush on or spray on matte sealer to protect your metal minis?
