Greetings, folks!
Does anyone have a reasonably comprehensive unit conversion list for WH40K to
SG2 stats? I am *not* a WH player, but almost everyone that I play Clan War
and Heavy Gear with is, so I figured I could get more local players interested
in SG2 if I could leverage their existing miniatures into the game. I've been
wanting to pick up SG2 myself, as the Full Thrust scene around here is rather
quiet lately.
I've seen Andy Cowling's page, but while he lists the weapon stats, the
link to the unit stats requires that you have the 40K codexes - which is
something that I don't have and I hesitate to spend money on. I am interested
particularly in Imperial and Space Marine units, as those two forces should
translate the easiest. Any help for this old space jockey?
:-)

Yes. Find the WH Battlebible on the 'net. It has all the stats.

I would, but when I went to look, I found a notice that it's been pulled due
to copyright infringements. Again, I'm not asking for 40K stats, but whether
or not someone has a reasonable comprehensive conversion chart.
Oh well, I can SWAG it well enough with Andy's weapon stats. Since I'm *not* a
40K player, I've just picked up a potpourri of 40K and Warzone figures that
should do for setting up a demo game. Here's what I'm think of so far:
