*In Space crusade the Ork commander (WD 134) appears to the same weapons dice for a plasma pistol as for the bolt pistol and power sword.  Is this right? Seems odd to have them exactly the same.

yes he does have the same dice, but they are distributed differently

An Ork Nob armed with a Plasma Pistol rolls 2 White Dice in hand-to-hand combat and 2 Red Dice when shooting
Where as an Ork Nob armed with Bolt Pistol and Power Sword rolls 2 Red Dice in hand-to-hand combat and 2 White Dice when shooting.
With the 3rd option - Power Claw and Chain Sword, the Ork Nob rolls 2 White Dice and 2 Red Dice in hand-to-hand and doesn't get to shoot

* Are there no rules for IG Orderlies?  Seems strange not to have a mechanic similar to the Orks Painboyz.

There seems to be quite bit of demand of Imperial Guard rules for Space Crusade, but there were no official rules published (there are however rules for IG in Advance Space Crusade, but that's a whole different game) I often get request to write rules for Imperial Guard squads, but I haven't yet found a way to make them balanced and playable
