yes, that and Warmachine

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Can see both points, obviously, by style, but does either Wolfsung or Warmachine have flyers?

Just not familiar enough with rules not to ask.

I don't think Wolsung does, ruleswise. WARMACHINE has some winged models so I assume there is something but maybe not for flying machines. Been a while since I went through either one's rules tho and in any case it was probably a version or ten back in either case.

I was personally thinking aesthetics solely, the airships should be useful as scenario objectives or special terrain.

I like 'em. Even if you don't like them as they are they have a lot of conversion potential. Even built as designed without conversion I'd imagine they could work well in a VSF setting with human crew and a less gaudy paintjob (either dowdy old Ocean Grey or Military Grey depending on mood).
Won't be cheap, but there are lots of places to get GW stuff with 20% off and I've been very impressed with the quality of sculpt and robustness of recent GW offerings.

I think a lot of wargamers have a knee jerk 'I hate this!' reaction to anything GW. If these models had been kickstarted by some small obscure company I think the reactions would be quite different. Just my opinion of course-no offense meant ;)
