[E40K]
IMHO base it on War Engines. Titans, More Titans, and yet more Titans.
Scout Titans to... er... Scout. Ordinatus Grossossities to provide
firepower ( not cheesy, and they look very good )
Maybe some Imp Guard infantry (all in Chimeras) with some other vehicles
as organic support.
Maybe the odd SM unit, who the Titans are 'supporting'. Use any of the
Space Marine 1st Ed, Space Marine 2nd Ed, or E40K illustrations as a
guide.
[2nd Ed]
Get a copy of "Titan Legions". This has battlegroups of 3 Titans as
company cards in their own right.
In 2nd Ed , the Ordinatus weapons are extremely cheesy, vastly
overpowered for their cost. Use sparingly if at all.
And Knights. Lots of Knights.
