The point values of E40k are, like in 40 on a per unit basis,therefore
that point system is very different from the card point values and this
is not taking into acount that unit composition will vary greatly from
the two systems. A system to assimilate both manners of army
construction would be difficult.

The customizing of battle groups at this stage is just an idea, but
would be confined to this. The army cards were voted on in the beggining
with overwhelming majority and thier contents will not be altered, with
the exception of changing the cost of some units that are deemed
under/over priced.
