The one thing that would be great is if everything really was in the
right scale. Greater Demons (and Carnifexes) about the same size as
Lesser Demons now. Super-Heavies that are truly building sized. Maybe a
Capitol Imperialis in a few years in Resin that's a quarter of a metre
long.
The orc super-heavies in particular may well be quite a lot bigger.

In this case, the extra money would be ... not exactly pain-free, but
would mean I'd actually consider buying one.
