Do you mean in terms of mixing Marines and Guard etc?
That's a large part of it, yes.
Both the Empire and Chaos are known to use combined arms. Sure, Marines do sometimes deploy in company strength to meet a specific threat, but they'll also often be deployed in demi-companies to support other Imperial forces. The same is true for Chaos, though in that case it's more a case of Marines and their cannon fodder...
And Orks, while they can certainly operate as a single clan, is mainly just a bunch or boyz all getting swept up in a big Waaaaargh!
In all honesty, I feel NetEA has way too many lists. All Marine and Guard lists could be folded into two lists with Chapter Traits / Regimental Doctrines being used to differentiate between various chapters and regiments.
Chaos and Orks could be just a single list each, with the main formations deciding what can be taken as support. The same could probably also be said for the Mechanicus lists.
Another part, which I suppose is somewhat connected to the first part, is the lists themselves. Some of them are pretty restrictive in the kind of formations you can field. And some, like the Mechanicus, aren't even near being able to field the variety of units we know they can field.
