So as far as I know there is no official epic representation of the following sorts of miniatures. Either because they where never in the official epic rules or just never had a version released. So how would you proxy the following (or convert/paint job differently).

Space Marines
Veterans (in power armour)
Sternguard
Vanguard
Scouts (with sniper rifles)
Scout Bikers
Thunderfire Cannon

Imperial Guard
Hardened Veterans
Medics
Support Sentinels (Armed with either a 'shoulder' mounted rocket pod or missile pod).
Cyclops Demolition Vehicle
Taurox/Taurox Prime
Bane Wolf
Devil Dog
Wyvern
Sabre Gun Platform
Trojan
Atlas
Sentinel Powerlifter

Orks
Nobz (Regular non-Meganobz variety)
Nob Warbikes
Skarboyz
'Ard Boyz
Burna Boyz
Tankbustas
Flashgitz
Mega Dreads
Gorkanaut
Morkanaut
Warkopta
Grot Tank
Mega Grot Tank
Dakkajet
Burna-bommer
Blitza-bommer
Wazbom Blastjet
Kill Blasta
Kill Bursta
Kill Krusha

Battlewagons (ok hear me out, the apoc battlewagons feel more like Ork Trukks to me, the older ones feel to small for the modern representation of battlewagons)

Chaos
Possessed
Raptors
Plague Marines
Thousand Sons/Rubric Marines
Obliterators
Dreadnoughts
Chaos Bikers

Daemons
Bloodcrushers (Bloodletters on Juggernauts)
Nurglings
Beasts of Nurgle (I know there where some old ones, but the old daemons always felt oversized)
Fiends of Slaanesh (Ditto^)
Seekers of Slaanesh (Daemonettes on Steeds of Slaanesh)
Horrors
Screamers
Furies
Chaos Spawn

Eldar
Shining Spears
Storm Guardians?
Wraithblades
Shadow Spectres
Hornets
Lynx
Wraithknight (Without resorting to the old epic eldar knights)
Crimson Hunters
Hemlocks

Anyone have ideas for any of these? Or others in 40k not represented in epic?

Some of those can be proxied using models sold by Vanguard if you use your imagination and explain what 'counts as' what to your opponent at the start. http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk

Some cam be converted from other epic models - a hydra with cut down turret barrels could 'count as' a hydra maybe? If you're really creative you can even use non-miniatures sometimes - someone at a tournament yesterday used crystal door handles as 'counts as' Necron Monoliths.

Space Marines
Veterans - most chapters have a different helmet color designated for veterans
Thunderfire Cannon - Onslaught Miniatures Grudd stuff

Imperial Guard
Support Sentinels - missile pods from these plus sentinel models
Bane Wolf - honestly, I'd just use slightly different paint jobs to differentiate the Hellhound types
Devil Dog - ^same
Sentinel Powerlifter - could be converted using a sentinel model and part of a 40K Ad Mech taser goad

Orks
Nobz - Skinnerz Commando Specialists
Burna Boyz - ^same
Tankbustas - ^same
Mega Dreads - Skinnerz Tramplers
Gorkanaut - these are basically the Epic Stompas, so just add a few bits n bobs here n there
Morkanaut - ^same
Warkopta - Shapeways
Grot Tank - Skinnerz Micro Tank Platoon or Microworld Games Wasteland Buggies
Dakkajet - use any combo of planes+bits you want: Vanguard Skinnerz or Novan Regulars, Shapeways historical aircraft, Epic/Aeronautica Imperialis Ork or other aircraft, 40K Stormboyz jump packs, etc...
Burna-bommer ^same
Blitza-bommer ^same
Wazbom Blastjet ^same
Battlewagons - most of the old Epic specialty ork wagons are more properly battlewagon sized,

Chaos
Raptors - Chaos Marines + bat wings
Obliterators - buy your terminator proxy of choice, add greenstuff goop and assorted weapon bits
Dreadnoughts - add various bits to a plastic Contemptor Dreadnought

Daemons
Beasts of Nurgle - start with a Nurgling as the base?
Fiends of Slaanesh - Khurasan Miniatures Space Daemons (aka Alien franchise models), or Warmaster Chaos Hounds (potentially converted with daemonette claw arms)
Seekers - Microworld Games Raptor Dragoon Cluster + old daemonettes
Screamers - the new Citadel Barbed Bracken kit looks like a great base for making screamers
Furies - Microworld Games Bat Harpies
Chaos Spawn - start with a Nurgling as the base?
