definately prefer it when each faction has their own distinct look and
feel. As opposed to everyone having the same mixture of gear.
 
I don't think the games are as successful or as enjoyable when both
players have the same model but are using completly different rules.
 
If playing Full Thrust using the GZG universe I would use the models as
they are described. If I was playing Warmachine or Hordes, I would buy
the appropriate models. I might "proxy" some models while trying them
out, but if I wanted to play the game regularly I would expect to buy
the appropriate models.
 
If I was playing my own game or one where there was not a specific set
of models for them I would use models that are suitable from any
manufacturer I liked.
 
I think armies look best when they come from a consistent range of
models, unless you want a polglot look like refugees.
 
I definately think each vehicle should get a name or "code name" if it's
an alien vehicle and a paragraph of text describing it's intoduction,
notable battles and how it fights. Makes it much more compelling than a
catalogue code or generic text like "medium APC tracked with AT
missiles".
