Hi!
If anyone were interested I made a complete conversion of all epic
units to DSII some years ago that is available in the vault (I hope).
I also incorporated some good ideas/concepts from net based players.
It makes for an interesting game. The Eldar are extremely high tech,
but super expensive while on the other side of the spectrum we have
the orks with the lowest tech, but very cheap, everyone else is in
between. Of course I needed to stretch DSII rules to its limits to
accomodate certain game concepts (like demons), but it is all in DSII
terms.
If anyone has used them it be nice to know how it went.
