Some thoughts:
Is there any way you can add a hull based gun to the front of the plastic APC? For those wanting to use the models for Epic, a 'Heavy Bolter' at the front is quite important.
I'd need a real world example of a vehicle with a hull mounted heavy gun in that position to draw from.

On the Marksman Anti aircraft tank the row of 4 guns looks a little flat. I can see that there is a slight curve to them. Would they look better if they were less flat, and closer to parallel with each other? Something like this: --> / \
Wouldn't cast in one piece I'm afraid, that configuration would require 4 metal components per vehicle instead of 2. Not a particularly affordable solution at the currently-planned price level.

The Laser and Howitzer look great on the Alien Trukks, as the rear is a natural place for the weapon to go. Their places on the beast however looks very strange; they look a bit 'bolted on'. Is there anywhere else they could be placed, or even better allow the vehicle to use different placements to give customers variety and options? The beast itself looks great!

Edit: The Beast: where are the guns???
Smaller guns?
Well it's been designed to be compatible with the plastic cannons. And I'll be looking to producing a sprue of Aliens posed firing medium guns too, which can be added as decorative elements to vehicles.

The Rifle on the new alien looks very big. With only two included on the sprue, it looks designed to be a heavy weapon. Could the barrel on the front of the weapon be lengthened? As it is, it looks more like oversized rifle than heavy weapon.
It's already huge compared to real life weapons. Much bigger and it'll be approaching the size of the plastic cannon.

I'd also add +1 to making the leaders claw bigger, and ideally mirroring the pose that was mentioned above.
That'll be happening.

Keep up the good work Ben. And remember that while we may have limiting budgets now, we will want to buy more of these sets later in the year to expand our new armies. I'm already working on my Christmas list! With so many sets dependent on the plastic sprue, anything that can possibly be done to improve it at this stage is an investment for the (hopefully far reaching) future.
Well, I can't simply magic extra money out of the air to upgrade the sprues!
I'd love to have every single model on the sprues be a different sculpt and produce the most amazing plastic sprue ever seen, but it'd cost fifteen thousand pounds to do it, ha ha. Fancy donating a few thousand to upgrade the sprue, hey? :-p
