Bought and downloaded it an hour ago.

Good read so far.

I'm planning on giving it a trial run using some old Rogue Trader Space Marines and Space Orks.

Any thoughts on which stats/units would be most fitting?

[Agis]

Use the high tech list. SM can be represented by MCS trooper, terminators are hardsuits.
You can also check out Magnus topic about it here! 

[spevna]

Thanks.

I shall take a look at that thread.

I have updated the Future Combat book again. While writing the next book - Rival Species - for the Future Combat line I added new Actions, Abilities and Psi Powers. I realized that these would be a great addition to the core book as well.
The latest update now includes all the rules to use and cancel Psi Powers in Future Combat!
A small but nice list of useable Psi Powers is also added.

So, here is what changed:

V 010004 – 140201 - Changes 01.02.2014:
Page   3 - Zac Belado added under "Creative Consulting, additional Editing and Proofreading"
Page  23 - Use Psi Action added as an Overwatch action
Page  27 - Use Psi Action added
Page  32 - Psi Sensitive added
Page  84 - 21.1. Mid Tech Infantry Psi Powers added
Page  88 - Psi Sensitive upgrade added as unit option
Page  99 - 22.1. High Tech Infantry Psi Powers added
Page 104 - Psi Sensitive upgrade added as unit option

Thought so!

Just read the rules and I mustsay we seem to share a taste in games.

Love the amalgation of Epic and Starship. Brilliant. I shall ditch my own effort at doing so...

Thanks! I look forward to any additional input.  

And true, the core system has its roots in SST and later Battlefield Evolution.
With all my work for Mongoose on WWII Evo, I had many research already done for ViDe WWII, so it was the logical step to create my own system and integrate all the stuff I could not implement in Evo.
And being one of the core playtesters of EPIC Armageddon I included also some of the Suppression rules from these days.
All in all there are only that many ways to peel an egg!  

ViDe FuCo however has so many unique elements (Movement, casualty removal, the way Ld is integrated into many game effects, Hide, Seek, unit activation, Command Points, EW, ECM …) in it, that it has evolved beyond its progenitors! Advanced Wargaming Rules…

I updated the Future Combat again: Just some clarifications and additional options. The new book is already uploaded and every customer got a mail to explain what is new.
Ash edited again several grammatical and verb tense items in chapter 18 to 23 of the book. No rules were changed but reading the rules should now be more accessible.

The changes:
Page 31 - HP/X reworded
Page 50 - Air Transport clarified
Page 71, 72, 91, 117 - Walker added as unit option

So now you can use big walker infantry transports!

I guess I should paint my Void Tiger APC then
