Show them the fluff from Codex Imperialis and Codex Titanicus about the 700
Leagues each consisting of many strongholds and the fluff on the THOUSANDS
of homeworlds then show the the Elder fluff and ask Who's the Dying Race ?

Good point. I must admit I wouldn't bother playing in a GW sanctioned
tournament on principle so thus hadn't thought of this angle when answering
Mike's post about official lists. I don't think they'd let me play with my
Squats, or my Knights and by the time I took all my old figures out of my
Ork army I wouldn't have much left.
