Oh, are you going to get it.

Don't you know that GHOD himself came down From On High and DEMANDED
that ALL TRUE BELIEVERS
use CARDS to design their Armies. To Do Other Wise Is Not HOW it is
DONE. You MUST NOT play the HOLY VERSION with OUT using CARDS.

Side Note/rant:
Why is it that people who play 2nd ed, for what ever their personal
reason rant at Epic 40K players for being "Blind Followers of GW", when
in fact to play 2nd Ed fully by the rules, you MUST blindly follow what
GW thinks an army should look like. Not a flame, just a question.

As it happens, in general you can do 2nd ed company cards as legal E40K
detachments. Doing up "The Age of Apostasy" army list, based on 2nd ed.
unit design, is high on my list of things to do for the E41K project.
