RE: DS2: stats for Epic miniatures

A couple of follow-up things I forgot to mention.  Why am I
doing this?  The obvious reason is that I've got a bunch of
Space Marine figures.  But I like that the models look
far out and different.	The things I see in the pictures in
Dirtside look like regular tanks to me (though I'm not
knowledgable about such things).  I'm not crazy about people
with swords in a sci-fi game, and I'm looking forward to
the DS style of close assault (not having to have the models
contact each other).  But I like that the models look fantastic
(I'll admit that they aren't necessarily futuristic) and
exaggerated.

The other point: I've got 3 armies in mind, basically divided
along GW lines.  The monster army is a bunch of Orks, with
some Ogryn and Beastmen mixed in.  Just for fun.  The advanced
alien army is Eldar plus some Renegade Legion tanks.  The
Chaos dreadnaughts looks sorta futuristic, and I'll put them
there too, maybe with the skull filed off.  I'm not sure I
want Eldar style titans, so maybe some of the Battlemechs that
don't look like a big guy in armor.  I've got the basic Battletech
set, and there were two in there I'd use.  Finally, there is a
human army, made up of GW's Imperial Guard, Space Marines,
Knights, and Titans.  Not as high tech as the alien society, but
lots of guns and hardware.  I'm trying to decide if I want to
split that army into more than one.  There are tanks in a couple
of styles--a bunch looking like Rhinos with additions, and a
bunch with treads like the Leman Russ and Land Raider.	But I
don't think I can split it cleanly, so I'll mostly stick to
alien vs human, with Orks occasionally for grins.
