My question has been inspired by a thread on the official forums (great work in getting that up & running by the way). What weapons have you been currently testing/playing/using etc or are intending to allow the players to use?
People are posting what their anticipated weapons of war will be? All sorts are being mentioned: Duel wielding chain swords, lightning claws, combi-bolters, combat shields, flamers, etc
Are these people being realistic? or are there going to be limits to what weapon is available to what class? e.g. Power/Chain swords were only available to Assault Marines in Space Marine. Are you guys going to go down the same line? or do you intend to have a more flexible approach to the wargear?

I would think it's going to be a mix of Tabletop rules and Space Marine. We will have some restrictions, else there would not be a point in having classes, but the main rule will be, everyone will have a ranged and a melee weapon to use!
And in general, we want all available weapons from the Wh40k lore - ofc not all will make it into launch content, but we need something to look forward to anyway

The devs have spoken about letting players vote in a 5th group for every faction. Will this have restrictions? Will players be able to vote in a chapter like the Thousand Sons?

I think it has not been decided yet which chapters can be voted for, but I think out of fairness there won't be really restrictions, it's gonna be a majority vote after all.

Will there be the ability to cross faction for PvE Elements for temporary alliances?
And will there be traitor marines of the existing loyal marines available for Chaos? Aka. Fallen Dark Angel, Fallen Space Wolf, etc etc.
you will always be able to do PvE with other faction players, but I am not sure if the grouping system will support it - guess that would be a question for our Lead Designer Brent - if you come to our forums on www.eternalcrusade.com am sure he will take the time to answer you that question.
traitor marines - again best to ask Brent - for now I haven't seen any mechanic for it, but that just means that it might be way to early to think about those things!

Locutus here from the Eternal Crusade forums! My questions are will the team being addingForge World (the company)models into the game (weapons, armor, warmachines) or will you only be using creations directly from Games Workshops?
Second, will you be using the new units that Games Workshop has added to 40k, like Space Marine Centurions (oh god please don't), or will you stick to the classics? Also, why is Steven Lumpkin so sexy???
When will you announce more info about Eldar of Chaos factions ?
should come up in the next few weeks!

well, as far we are concerned we will add only original material to the game - everything that is part of the original license can make it to the game at some point, if you have specific stuff in mind, pls ask about that.
new units - well, maybe, most likely not for launch, but if at some point they fit into the game, I think saying NO would be just wrong but in general we will stay true to classics and incorporate stuff that works well
well, every team needs a sexy member we can always put him in front of the camera!
Cheers!

How hard is having computer controlled units involved in PVP? Planetside 2 devs were once talking about adding them into their game as sort of a moba style. Controllable units versus say something like the Air to air attack call ins from World in Conflict the RTS? How possible is this in EC? I just feel for say Guard to really be viable some AI squad is needed.

I would say, no chance.
Progenoids and the whole physical & genetic enhancements a Human needs
to become a Space Marine, are tailored for males.
Also do not forget that most legions are still true to the core ideals,
after all most of them still think they are doing the right thing.
That said its very likely that we will see female as option for cultists if/when they get added to the game.
On Imperial side, Adeptus Sororitas are a often asked for and they at least look Space Marine like.
