Sorry to jump in so late here, but while I appreciate that some lists need fixing, that new lists need making etc., I can't help feeling that tournaments should only use the stuff available for download from GW. Otherwise, how will new players get involved? and how will we avoid the regional fragmentation that is already occuring?
I'm really worried that we are ending up with a situation here where E:A is being played in a hundred different ways. Now that's fine at home, or in your local club, but for national / international tournaments it's a disaster.
The only solutions I see is either to leave everything alone, and accept that we have a limited number of armies available, or try and establish some kind of website with 'tournament' rules and lists on it, that will function as a resource for all epic tournaments. But that could well fall foul of GW's IP hunters, and would anyway likely just lead to more disagreement, and people setting up their own versions instead.
Maybe I'm just depressed today, but I really am struggling to see a way forward here.

I think what you say here is extremely correct.
You've jumped in late here but we've said this much earlier on somewhere
Tournament organisers must be very careful to use any changes and advertise them VERY loudly.
Changes should be very few in number.
This is what the folks here are trying to achieve - A simple package for tournament organisers to use.
Ideally, for national tournaments, we should play with the rules as published by GW as you say, for the sake of consistancy and clarity. However there is pressure to adopt changes even though GW won't.
Indeed, seeing as the proposed changes are VERY minimal (nealhunt has taken efforts to make sure they are and ensure champions really trim thinks) I think they COULD be adopted by GW and bunged in the Epic LRB. A huge load of changes would be sure to put Jervis off. A few changes stand a better chance (in my opinion, every effort should be made to convince him)
