That was a really good posting.

There must be a lot more people out there with an army built around
the old company cards. Does E40k work with the old armies?
It would be good to know if a game would work with an old 15000 points
army without getting confused by a lot of different detachement types.

What I figured is that Artillery works ok alone but the old tank
companies becomes to vulnerable when CC'd and need support.

I have 20 Leman Russes and predators and wondered if they would work
as detachements. If too specialiced units are doomed it might not be
good to
paint 20 more tanks...
