In the meantime, I recommend you overthrow you respective governments in the name of Onslaught and reform the tax codes

I don't think you need to be in a rush there.
The already mentioned company Mantic Games is a great example, and has been in an similar position Onslaught is at the moment if i may say so, producing figures which are unofficially intended to be used with GW game systems. Either filling gaps in GW's range or providing cost-competitive alternatives.
Better to establish yourself as a 'quality miniature producer' and then try yourself on a fully supported game system.
Imho, the best exposure is still being seen on the tables of the 'GW community' due to the simple fact that it is the largest one out there.
Of course, positive features on larger online platforms/portals appears crucial as well. Especially now that GW is shutting down SG for good. In fact, that in itself can be the start of an editorial piece already

'As GW is shutting down his SG production, small independent producer like Onslaught Miniature are ready to fill the void.'
Please feel free to call BS ^_^
So... You're volunteering to write the OpEd, yes?
