I'm going to try to do that, Borka. Although between the PMs, emails, and posts here, I have to say some players are bound to be unhappy. There seems to be an even mix of players who have Squats based on SM1, SM2, and then weird configurations that I cannot make heads or tails of... presumably from some previous EA lists. When I finally make a decision (regardless of what it is), I'll be bracing for the 'well, MY models are...." comments.
Personally, I wouldn't be overly concerned. Sure it'd be 'best' to have the models properly equipped for whatever stats, but then you run the issue anyway of possibly having to tailor stats to something else regardless.
Example, you start with Warriors as having a single Heavy Bolter, then realise it needs to be a Missile Launcher equivalent, and adjust accordingly. Or doing something else relatively arcane to get the result you needed. That's why with the Dvergatal list, I went with AutoCannons for the Warriors (because HB's blow), and 2xTwin AutoCannons for Thunderers, cause I knew the statline I wanted, and accomodated it regardless.
This is where you thank your diety of choice (All praise the Emperor) for Rule 6.2.1. As long as it's immediately apparent which units are Warriors, and which units are Thunderers, the "Counts as" Rule, saves your bacon.
