I use the Codex Army Lists to build armies. I use this for the Warhammer
Universe flavor.  Although you could trash the whole thing and just use
the
figures with your own background.

I added BS+WS+Ld to give me a fiqure which I think represents the
quality
of the troops in question.  I then compared same to the following scale:

0-5		Untrained
6-10		Green
11-15		Regular
16-20		Veteran
21 and up	Elite

To make a command squad, I would take an average of all figures to
determine squad quality. For example:

A Space Marine Command Squad:

Space Marine Commander		7+7+10=24
2 Captains				7+7+10=24
					7+7+10=24
Apothecary				5+5+9  =19
Techmarine				5+5+9  =19
					-----------------
					average = 22  (An elite squad)

A Space Marine Tactical Squad would be Veteran (4+4+8=16).
An Imperial Guard Tactical Squad would be Regular (3+3+7=13).

A Blood Axe Mob  would be Regular (3+3+7=13).
An Ogryn Mob would be Regular (4+3+8=15).

I have been using orks and eldar as I use humans, with no differences in
game play. I have not used any Tyranids, since no one in my playing
group
owns any.
