I approached the netERC about taking over the inquisition lists in Lord Inquisitor's absence. They messaged him, and he came back for a short period then disappeared again.
As the Ordo share many of the units, I think it is a good idea that the one person is in control, or has overview at least, of the project as a whole.
Zombo: Seeing you appear to be the only one that has actually started with it, why not continue with a series Z of the list to help move development along. I was going to do it however I feel that there are others better qualified (such as yourself) to get the ball rolling.
In regards to this:

if any list justifies having a potentially all fearless army (paying appropriate costs for it obviously) then it would an all Grey Knights chosen Daemon Hunter army. If their points costs are a fair bit higher than normal marines for all the bells and whistles special abilities they get then they could be balanced fine.
It is less about balancing and more about playability. Fearless in Epic is not what Fearless is in 40K. Simple as that. Higher points costs to justify the ability just mean less formations, which effects in part the enjoyment of the game. I have discussed it before, but add in the removal of the ability to kill stuff when it is broken (queue Terminators with Fearless), and you have a frustrated opponent.
It is about the enjoyment of taking the list, and the removal of Fearless with a points drop will assist with more Formations and the ability to take miniatures and upgrades you would not normally have points for. Let's get away from the idea of 'Fearless' being a formation ability. Give it to characters (I agree on this), just not the troops. The 'auto rally' does achieve the 'fearless' outlook, is an ability that places them one up on Marines, and gives the opponent to take advantage of a broken unit (through a very small window).
The other thing I would ask is to get away from the niggling rules that are creaping in. Just go with an idea rather than specifics. The idea of shrouding with exceptions (over 45cm) is ludicrous for a game like Epic. Just give them -1 to hit or don't, it should not be a rule based on a ruler. The same goes for the other points mentioned.
I do believe this is a list (apart from the other Ordo at least) that needs to make the NetEA document in a different state if possible. I am happy to work with and support it's development for someone taking it up. Much like the Tau and Necrons, I believe the public can steer this list to an update (at least).
So E&C and Mr Z (and others with interest), I know for a fact you have ideas on the current list - please oblige me (and others reading), what would you change? Do you agree/disagree with anything I have placed forward?
