You might want to check out the Exodus Wars rules then. They are basically a clean-room port to EA with some lessons learned applied to extend it in interesting ways. Some benefits are
-D10 granularity vs D6
-Separation of MW/TK strength (to use EA terms) against INF and AV targets
-A bunch of very useful new specials for units such as Totem, Tactical Genius, etc
-Not being GW
just throwing it out there. Feel free to ping me if you're interesting in talking some more.

The only suggestion I have is that all units be based, both infantry and vehicles, as this makes the interaction between units a lot easier.
So totally +1 this. It basically removes the whole modeling for advantage deal and fits in better with the level of abstraction that wargames at this size have. Closest base edge to closest base edge when ranging/moving/etc is pretty hard to argue when it is consistently applied.
