Both products of Allesio's brain from the same time period. Bolt Action and WP2.0 went through development and publication at very close to the same time.
You'll have to come up with or ignore some stats like nerve values. And if you take a close combat Warpath squad and use it in BA, the pinning markers will ruin your day, so the whole points system likely won't work, but at their core, both systems have:
Roll to hit. Roll to kill. A penetration system for vehicles. And they tend to require, very, very similar sorts of numbers.
If you took the fan made army lists for 40k, you could use them for either WP2.0 or Bolt Action and get a satisfying game. It's basically a question of which turn structure mechanic you like better. I like them both.
