I've always been interested in WWI, more specifically trench warfare so I ask is there a company that makes 28mm WWI miniatures and rules?

The Miniatures Page is a good place to look for info on particular periods.

GW Historical used to do rules for WW1. Still available though not supported any more.

There's Great War Miniatures although I'm not sure how easy they'd be to get in the US. There's also Scarab Miniatures, Brigade Models (who specialise in Belgians),
Brigade Games (not to be confused with Brigade Miniatures, their site also stocks Great War) and Renegade, although their site has been on hiatus for a long time.
There's apparently also a WW1 range coming from Victrix at some point, which should be good for decent, cheap infantry if their Napoleonics are anything to go by.

As for rules, as mentioned before GW did a ruleset called 'The Great War' that worked similar to 40k mechanically, but it is OOP so you'd have to scour ebay or similar.
TooFatLardies also do a ruleset called 'Through the Mud and the Blood' that works differently in that it is scenario-driven and so doesn't feature any army lists etc.
Some web-searching also turns up To The Last Man, but as I've not tried this one personally I can't really comment on it.

Old Glory Miniatures makes ww1 miniatures in 28mm

https://oldglory25s.com/index.php?cat_id=1007&catname='WWI%20'

The photos are hard to see, but they have a good reputation and you can find samples online with some searching.

They also offer a 40% discount if you sign up for their Army Card.

Wargames Foundry has a WWI line as well, with British, French, and Germans.

Ebor miniatures do some very nice Belgians and early war French if I am not mistaken.

Wargames foundry have my favourite WW1 I've seen so far.

Also Victrix are going to be doing some multipart 28mm hard plastic Germans and Brits some time later this year

I think I just ejaculated in happiness.

I like Renegade's style (it's much like Foundry's) but if Victrix is going to do plastics, that's the route I'd go.

Just an idea, would Bolt Action's rules be viable for WW1? I know some of the more tech options would have to be left behind and losing out on those options may restrict the play but it is a great system.

Warlord games now does German, British and French ww1 tanks in 28mm as well.

Muttonchop Miniatures, by Paul Hicks and Great War Miniatures by Dave Andrews are the best... with Musketeer miniatures range coming in third.

Gajo Games does a Bolt Action WW1 conversion rule set:

I haven't played it, but it might be worth looking at if you already play Bolt Action.

Thanks I've been looking for these rules

All of my ww1 British troops are http://www.musketeer-miniatures.com/store.php?r=20&rule=Historical&id=50
but I would definitely look at great war miniatures for Germans etc.

Just waiting for someone to bring out plastic ones. Would have thought it would be warlord who will do it first.

The musketeer models British look like these:

Does anyone have a good US or USMC Expeditionary Force suggestion?

Old Glory makes them as far as I know, but I'm not always keen on some of their other work.
