I think so. I've sent several people my Marine and Ork conversions. Not
everyone agreed with them, though. My philosophy was to stick with DS2
as
the main basis and adapt the GW background/minis/etc. to it, rather than
the
other way around. 

I ended up building the vehicles as per the DS2 rules. This resulted in
a
Land Raider that couldn't transport troops. To fix this, I created
another
Land Raider model with less firepower but more cargo capacity. I also
created a couple of other vehicles (a HQ vehicle and a counter battery
radar
vehicle) based on the Rhino chassis. Some people liked this idea, but
others
detested it. It depends on whether you want the resulting fusion to be
"true
to DS2" or "true to GW". 

Have a go at it, though. I'm particularly interested in seeing Eldar
stats.
