Is there a convenient reference for how the Warpath factions match up with the 40k factions, in case someone is looking to make the switch between games?

I've got a brother who has Orks and Tyranids who gave up on 40k about the time of the Dark Eldar second coming, and I'm trying to figure out what his options are.

You have the marauders for the orcs. Then for Tyranids you can possibly use the Plague.

Pretty much everything from 40k can find a use in Warpath with the correct proxying.

Space Marines (regular and chaos) = Enforcers.
Imperial Guard = Corporation/ Rebs.
Orks = Marauders.
Tyranids/ Demons = Plague or possibly Veer-myn
Eldar/ Dark Eldar = Asterians.
Tau= Rebs/ Asterians
Necrons = Forgefathers with allied vehicles from other factions.
Adeptus Mechanicus = Forgefathers.

Make use of alliance rules where needed to use appropriate army list entries for the models... pretty much everything can ally with everything else.

Veer-myn rules are a better representation of Nids than Plague rules are.

Though Plague are an awful lot like the Genestealers used to be.

The Auld Grump

I'd never thought about using the plague as tyranid (or visa versa...) I like i. Im feeling to use the 1A as a broodlord....and some tyranid warriors as 3rd stage in Deadzone (or warpath when I get my stuff together.)

So maybe plague for the genestealers allied with vyrmin for the various Tyranid models?

I'll have to see about discretely hitting my brother over the head with a Warpath rulebook in a few months.
