I like the double-layered aspect of the updated carapace, and the removal of the pointy back from the earlier modifications is good. One particular point – I like the fact the shoulder weapons now sit flat. It's both more stable for construction and looks more realistic, somehow. The additional arm plate's an inspired idea – nice one wraeththu! It'll be a great place for freehand unit/tactical ident marks.

Which weapons should come with the Leviathan Stalker?
My choice, based mainly on aesthetics (plus missiles on top are a proper mecha trope)
Arms: Single Barrel Macro Laser and Siege Howitzer
Shoulders: 2 x Rocket launchers

Any suggestions for anything else to sculpt?
Jimmyzimms' idea of quad-guns for the shoulders is a cool one.
I also like his idea of a close-in weapon like a fist, ball and chain, energy whip or chainsaw.
Would one or two alternative heads be a good way to differentiate them for people who buy multiples? Something with boxy curves and asymmetric multiple eyelenses would work with the aesthetic; and you could build a gun on one side or where the mouth.nose would go, too, in case people wanted a head with weaponry.
I agree with moredakka that it'd be nice for the head to have more space for the crew. This design looks a bit like the bridge of a battleship/spaceship, which might be a nice design cue?
On a personal note, I always loved Mongrol from the ABC warriors, and think a head that looked like this would be awesome

Armoured Infantry Concept. Any interest?
They look nice to me, though I agree with the calls for bigger jetpacks and ammunition feeds on their rifles. Perhaps boxy or straight magazines?
I hope you don't mind; but I fiddled around with the heads, dropping the ears down a bit and extending the cocks-comb crest: there seemed to be something a bit off about the proportions, but perhaps that's to help casting?
I wonder if the heads could be built up around the 'jaw' a bit? Something like a TIE fighter pilot:
... or a mediaveal knight:
While we're talking about it, I'd like to see a kneeling pose and some different guns – like a big machine gun instead (or as well as) the rocket launcher?
