Unpack the original Mega Merge into a separate folder from the installed game, run it, the community is already installed in it.
Does it matter where I unpack it? I've unpacked it in a new folder it in my downloads folder under "Warhammer 40000 Armageddon"

Game doesn't startup gives a error message.

The version of your Armageddon Warhammer v1.11 game ? Is your system x86 or x64?

I don't understand what the problem is, the community update works with the usual armageddon even if you don't copy it to the folder with the installed game. But it definitely won't work with the GOG or Da ORKZ version.
I'm using a community update from this topic.

Been trying a bit over the weekend, using the links you sent, the game recognises the update and it appears as v1.11, but whenever trying to play any campaign or scenario it crashes on turn 1 with the similar errors. Even when its not copied over the files.

Could this be a hardware issue? as an FYI I am trying to do this on a Surface Pro 9 (i7, 16gb ram, integrated graphics Xe)

So, I played company V9.3. I am satisfied with this version, there are not many errors, and they are fixed by downloading the save.The balance is playable. Although it's still pretty easy to play.

This is an absolutely beautiful mod, and either close to or THE definitive version of the game. Unfortunately, there's a small problem. The Vraks scenario seems to be overwritten by "The Defense of Hope" in some way.

Thanks! As for the single maps, I can only say these are maps to see the appearance of the factions. Not all factions are balanced, AI is not configured, there are no scripts and corresponding tasks, units and starting positions are simply placed there.

I think you misunderstand. I'm not complaining about game balance or the lack of objectives. I'm saying that it looks like the Vraks mission is completely overwritten by the Hope/Sororitas Mission. The description in the menu is the same and starting up the missions give you the Hope mission.

I've been playing through the original campaign with this mod, and woof. Some of the missions are much easier or much more difficult. A few things I've noticed:

- The early tutorial scenario where you have to assault a fortified position across a river is nearly impossible with the troops made available to you at that point, as far as I can tell. Even redirecting the vehicles you start with on the western side of the map north to aid in the assault from that direction,(Because the opposing commander has a Laser Destroyer and further in a Macharius waiting for you on the western bridge if you try to advance there.) just doesn't leave enough time to get things done.

- With how defensively the Orks tend to play in the main campaign, so far the only Steel Legion infantry I've found to be of use starting around midway through the first Act are Ogryn Veterans. They're resilient and strong in melee against the Orks to the point that once they gain some levels they can tear through most Orks with impunity.

- Once the Orks start fielding Armored Mega Nobz in large numbers, the campaign's difficulty spikes dramatically as they're incredibly difficult to put down no matter what you hit them with. Especially since the AI loves to sit them in city tiles where they have lots of cover.

- The second mission of Act 2(The breakthrough where you have to capture eight victory hexes across a fairly big map starting from the bottom) is brutal, requiring a degree of speed that's just not particularly feasible in the 21 turns you're given.

- The Custodes infantry you can recruit in Act 3 are incredibly weak compared to both the Steel Legion and Astartes infantry you have access to, despite costing quite a bit more than either. Their Land Raider transports are useful, but the infantry themselves have fairly low damage output for Custodes, and they are easily overwhelmed by a unit or two of Ork infantry because of their very low maximum Strength values.
