Well, in 2nd edition 40k, it would take at an army of
approx. 2750 points or more to take 2 Great Unclean
Ones. (That's with a 100% generic Chaos Lord. No
equipment or Wargear). In 3rd edition, we really don't know
yet.

If 5 Great Unclean Ones in a detachment is possible,
an equivalent 2nd edition 40k army would be almost
6000 points. This is extremely rare in 2nd edition 40k,
and I'd have to pull out my 40k/Epic conversion information
to see what a 2nd edition 40k 6000 point army is in Epic.
