It's all theory at this point because we've not been told anything is set in stone. I read any actual conversion stats in the original thread as illustrative of the conversion theories being proposed, certainly mine was and I did make that clear. I'm not bothered if the mod team and/or moderators aren't though, it just seemed a bit pointless, to me, to run the same discussion in two threads, even with a link to the original.

Not necessarily. For example (this conversion would not be final) we can look at Peasants as the lowest in ability troops in the game. They are probably equivalent to skaven slaves who really really suck as well.
That illustrates the problem in a nutshell because your example is arbitrary. Each step after your starting point will be arbitrary too. You have no means to be accurate when doing that and doing that is unavoidable.

For it work there also needs to be a M2TW unit for every WH unit. I haven't counted but surely there isn't one for each and of those that exist you're bound to be cramming square pegs into round holes unless you ignore those for which this is necessary, making even less to use in this way. If you have to start inventing any then you've just failed to use your suggested method of conversion.
