Okay, okay, I might consider writing this afterall. Notice the "might".
But to do so, my CPU needs a lot of data. So to say, provide as much as possible, and I may start working.

So it was predicted, as it will happen! I am sure that I saw a version somewhere, and although it was a while ago, I assumed that it was yours...
Anyway, I remember that Jervis was calling for a 'counts as' list for the Squats to translate to Imperial Guards, but this is not really what I am looking for. I am fine with counts as lists, but at some point they inevitably break down as some units dont match particularly well. I am coming to the conclusion that it would be better just putting together my own army list for my home games anyway. The chance of ever seeing an official list is pretty much non-existant anyhow.
I will start with the troops and post here when I have a thought (it could be a while  ). The important thing is the stats. First up, should every infantry base have a heavy weapon, or should there be a 'support/firefight' base with only small arms (as well as the obvious heavy and berserker bases)?_________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

There was a version being worked on - it was on EPICentre.
It was 99% completed, just waiting on the final doc being drawn up by Dysartes. The reason it isn't public is because it is being pipped for Fanatic magazine.

Best bet is to email dysartes, webmaster of dysartes.com. As far as I am concerned we have finished our bit  .

Hi guys,
I need to set up an Ork army for my mate to play with against my Dark Angels . In the interests of fairness I thought I would get your help, in case I got accused of being bias. I have almost all the miniatures in the range, so models aren't an option. (and of course the report will be submitted to Incoming!)
It will be a standard tournament game against 2700 points of marines, the player is a newbie to EPIC (although has wargamed for over a decade with me). The battle is on sunday, I am not sure what i'll be taking, but might use this opportunity to try out all the units I haven't used yet .
Tom.

Well could I recommend the following
1. Great Gargant (incl. Warlord) (Most Expensive) ? 850pts
2. Big Warband Plus 1 extra Ork and Grot ? 375pts
3. Big Warband ? 350pts
4. Warband Plus Flakwagon & 4 Battlewagons ? 375pts
5. Blitz Brigade 1x Flakwagon, 2 x Gunwagons & Oddboy Supa-Zzapp Wagon ? 200pts
6. Blitz Brigade 1x Flakwagon, 2 x Gunwagons & Oddboy Supa-Zzapp Wagon ? 200pts
7. Kult of Speed 8 x Bikes ? 200pts
8. Stormboyz ? 150pts
It will give a good feel to several elements of the army and the GG will certainly give your marines a few problems
I also found a list very similar to this surprisingly successful at the WPS Club Challenge in 2004.

Looks good to me , just gotta figure out how to crush it with my marines now :S, fighting Orks is radically different from Tau bashing.

Well if you do work out how to do it, please tell me. I have great problems playing with Marines and am one of the crowd that think that they are not really a tournament army in their current condition.
