Very cool - I think I'd prefer the shorter gun for flying around though.
If felt the same as the hands of fate, but now suddenly it occurs to me that there's a doctrinal question at work. Mind if I throw out a few questions?
How is this army supposed to feel on the tabletop? What's their doctrine for combat? Their kit and TOE will depend greatly on how that works.
To that end, what's the point of the gargoyles? What's their mission? Are they used in urban or highly built up areas to increase their mobility and let them do nasty hit and run attacks? If so, they ought to be using something more handy like carbines. Ditto if they're used to operating like paratroops, operating behind enemy lines disrupting their rear echelon and securing key points ahead of the armor. OTOH, if they're intended to use their mobility and terrain to keep their distance and set up ambushes, then long range rifles or even AV weapons make much more sense.
I've noticed that a lot of lines reproduce the standard modern list of troop types and fighting vehicles, without much thought to how they're supposed to gel together. I was doing it too. A lot of making an army interesting comes from the rules, but before that comes the minis-- the palette from which we paint.
Anyway just a thought. They look great. The guns are nice and sleek, which will look good in scale.
