The one bit of GW fandom that really has been a success are the
unofficial
Net-Epic rules.  Basically its the rules for Space marine/Epic adjusted
and
adapted, and most shocking of all for GW fans its free!  Thats probably
some sort of heresy within GW circles.

As to the ships I ran a FT-B5 game at Gaelcon about 3 years ago and had
my
NSL's as Earthforce Destroyers and similar.  Luckily I had a few Minbari
Micromachines as well to match them.  Micromachine Vorlons are quite
handy
as Sa'Vasku ships too.	Until the official "Shadowy" Sa'vasku appeared.
Not that I let that stop me using them.
