I've decided to approximate the game mechanics instead of the game
universe. Therefore I'll treat the marines as D10 armoured guys, not
PA.

I'll let the cat out of the bag a little bit. I've volunteered to run
a Stargrunt 2 scenario at GenCon, the tentative title being
"Operation: Chapter Approved." You've, uh, probably guessed the
universe by now... The game will have a small platoon of marines and a
squad of Squat engineers against an understrength company of Orks. The
Marines will be on the defensive. The facility they are defending is
made up of Kryomek buildings. The scenario is designed to give GW
groupies a feel for SG2. For that reason, it's probably a better idea
to be closer to GW's mechanics than to the background. GW cultists may
say they enjoy the background, but they'll be more peeved in a demo
game if the forces play out radically different on the game table. 

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. I'll post a battle report after
GenCon, along with the full scenario details.
