EDIT: I have updated the Hex Epic 40,000 rules, and have now put them here:

Here are my adjustments so far. I admit that these tweaks are half necessary tweaks to move to hexes, and half my own preferences. Sorry, this would have been a more pure approach if I'd just hexed the rules. The document is a bunch of notes to go with the rule book, not an alternate rule book.
I used 4" hexes. I originally started with 6" hexes, because applying a hex grid is time-consuming, and 6" would take much less. But the granularity hurt, and I can draw hexes on a mat so that I've got a big head start. 2" hexes would allow you to match 5cm resolution and make less tweaks, but that is less what I'm looking for.
My personal preferences showed up in how I resolved ranges and movements. Ranges converted a bit longer than movements, because it worked out better.
I still have to do Flyers. I want to import just enough from Epic A to make flyers more interesting.
These rules do have the effect that I want of just picking up figures and putting them down. It feels more like playing with cool toys, and that's what I'm after. Still have decisions to make.
I'd love feedback. I'm bad at recognizing when I've written something only I could understand. Do I need more diagrams? I made some in MATLAB, and could make more.
Also, I intend to use these with Firepower 1 rules and The Titan Project:
