I'd say that models being redone in a better material without looking out of place with the models already in peoples' collection is a really good example to show off, honestly.

On the other hand, if they are HIPS, swapping the weapons onto Marionettes shouldn't be too challenging.

we still do
but I have to say if they go for a landing craft/spaceship design or antigrav land-ship there is some potential here
yet the infantry is not good, not sure if it is the combination of 2 people with hands up + tactical rock or something else but this is the worst one for now

anyone else think they should just use the ships from their Warpath universe setting document art for aesthetic guides and ideas?
take this pic for example, some that i suspect was meant to be an enforcer set of ships. they could set up the smaller craft in this pic as the"Drakon" that is the smaller warship of a Enforcer Strike Force, while the bigger ship (the one used as an example of a Mckinley drive ship in fact) as the Wyvern Heavy Cruiser. the Drakon could be your Enforcer super-heavy, with superheavy transport of the flyers and vehicles being the main focus. (after all, most Enforcer stuff has anti-grav, allowing their stuff to be para-dropped.)
and you have this superheavy gunship looking thing for the GCPS army (from pg120 of the setting PDF)
which gives me vibes of the Assault ship from Avatar, a fire support craft with limited transport. (probably the sort of dropship that GCPS detachments would use for entering Deadzones) i suspect this would make more sense for the GCPS armed forces than a hover naval battleship.
