Um, in that case, why is the original poster asking for uncheesey E40K
detachments? Anyway, as for LRs, the SM/TL LR is not nearly as bad as
the E40K LR... I think that's one reason why people were so aghast at
the LR, becuase it went from "decent" to "stompy" (while the Leman Russ
went from "weak" to "decent", IIRC).

Too true, unfortunately, as many people don't seem to restrict
themselves. I made it a point to only field one Overlord company in a 3
or 4000 point battle; even then, they tended to do *very* well for
themselves. Then I heard about how ome Squat armies fielded two or even
three Overlord companies in 4000 points... that's half your army!!!
Yeesh....
