@LeadAsbestos Use whatever models you want. I think I've put together a cool looking range of models, but I use proxies too. Last night I finished up two Aetherium models from Anvil Eight Games to use in my campaign crew. Maybe I'll post some pics up after I take some. @Robh has pictures of his proxies floating around somewhere, and they are really cool.
As for the genre debate, it's a mash-up so what do you do? I put Firefly, Cool Hand Luke, Snowpiercer and a bunch of documentaries on sweatshop labor into a blender and this is what came out. And like Firefly, it's after the Earth got "used up" so definite post apoc undercurrent. Either way, it doesn't fit neatly anywhere.

Anyway, thanks all for interest! I'm glad I wandered by.
