Which would rule out 90% of the units listed in TL.
Just doing 'basic box' with SM/TL doesn't work since the rules
for almost all of the units are in Warlords.

SM/TL with Warlords?

As a non-Ork player with no books to consult:

Looking at your criteria, this has to be SM/TL.

I want to say SM/TL/WL, but I can't remember more than 4
gargant types in 2nd edition (slasher, mekboy, great, and mega).
So this must be CT.

Which makes this SM/TL/WL, I guess. Doesn't look right,
though.

I'm betting this is E40k...

I think SM/Warlords and SM/TL/Warlords would have been
a better comparison. Space Marines and Titan Legions were not
stand alone games by any means.

There are 4 gargants in E40k? I thought it was just
Gargant, Great Gargant, and Mega Gargant. What other type is
there?
