Ars Victor - 15mm Miniatures for the Empire of Man

I recently wrote a small review of the Ars Victor boardgame with an eye of using the rule with miniatures before being interupted by supper... I've been thinking a bit more about it and here are the minis I'm leaning toward for the Empire of Man faction.

The faction units can be split in three thematical categories...

Not-Space Marines 

They come in several variants (read in 3 columns: name of the Ars Victor unit, 40K equivalent and signature attribute):

• "Medium" = "tactical" Space Marines = baseline unit
• "Jump" = "assault" Space Marines = jump packs
• "Heavy" = "devastator" Space Marines = missile launchers
• "Cavalry" = bikes = bikes
• "Light" = scouts = sniper rifle & camo cloak
• "Assault" = "terminator" Space Marines = power armour

Altough they are a bit more lightly kitted than you old Space Marine, I'll go with 15mm.co.uk SFA troopers: a few other ranges provide the variety of roles I'm looking for but it's one of the only one with jump pack troops...

• "Medium" = 15mm.co.uk SFA SMG Troopers
• "Jump" = 15mm.co.uk SFA Jump Packs Troopers
• "Heavy" = 15mm.co.uk SFA Support Troopers

The Benthians

The Benthians are one of the two sentient species indegenous to the deep oceans of the New Halifax colony. Benthians are small aquatic humanoids with squid-like faces. They share their home world with the Archipelians, shark-like humanoids living in the shallow waters surrounding New Halifax few islands. Both species evolved and reached sentience independently, their respective biotopes remote from each other. 

Although the Benthians look more like those guys, I
intend their narrative role to be closer to that of the
