the effects should be the same between both games, its just that epic
plays it out much faster than WH40k can(or should).

if 9 ork bikes can be whipped by 3 leman russes every time in WH40k, this
should also happen in epic. I agree though, that the time scale/movement
scale between the 2 games is not a fixed ratio. Who know what kind of
fudge factor is worked in.

KInd of agree. If ork Braincrusha cannons can get misplaced, so can the
LR's H bolters. Things got translated to epic40k in odd ways....

however, if someone wanted to pay an extra point or two for one extra Fp
for a LR, I wouldn't get worked up about it.
