Not sure where else to put this but its been awhile since I have played my Necrons, last time I knew there wasn't a issue with me using my old school warriors and destroyers in my army for tournies but that was awhile ago. Is it still a valid model as long as its GW or are tournies and what not now wanting the plastic figures?

As long as the base size is correct I can't imagine any tournament that would disallow it. With all the stuff that flies at every event I've ever been to previous edition models shouldn't even blip the radar...

I've got a SM army with models that date to RT. I've had players accuse me of fielding non GW model dreads (these are the "chuck, Eddy, Fury" models and actual Gw models.

Yours are of a younger vintage, and if TOs think that they are not legal - because of their age, it's generally because your models are older than they are.

Chromedog, I run into the same thing with my RT-era IG sentinels, the old eggs-on-legs. Then there's all those Iron Claw, Talisman, Chainsaw Warrior, etc models (all Citadel) scattered throughtout the army. Whenever I get around to fielding Marines again, they'll look much like yours, modelwise. To answer the OP, I've taken this army to multiple US GTs and never had a problem with them being old models.

Thanks for the inputs and peace of mind.

According to current rules, not even base size would be a problem. the rule has always been that model can be on the base it came with, or one larger. For OOP crons, I'd recommend basing the scarabs on 40mm bases, but that gives you every advantage anyway.

Exactamundo.

I'm never changing the bases on my Deathwing for that reason. That, and it would be a pain, and transporting them would become INFINITLY harder.

You know, this is the type of question that surfaces in Warseer and related forums from time to time. I swear that if I sometime play VC with the old vintage Vlad von Carstein mini and somebody complains I´ll tear the base to show the GW copyright in the tab and then proceed to feed the mini to the offending party.

I play count-as so I refrain to take my 40k non GW army to GW sponsored events as proper but I really can´t stand the average anal retentive player that doesn´t realise that GW has been making minis since the early 80s and that in some cases characters have 2, 3 or more incarnations.

I get weird looks when I put down my old school armor cast wave serpent. People always ask "what they heck is that?" and often say something about using GW models. Funny thing is that the licencing they did with GW is stamped into the underside of the model so I can always show people.

The other oddity I do ever once in a blue moon is break out my old school RT eldar avatar. He's just slightly taller than your standard infantry model and came on a 25mm base. No one is ever ready for that.

I have the old Ghazkull model from 2nd edition. Can't use him though cause his just to weedy. I can use all my old 2nd ed orcs but i don't cause they just look stupid. I do have some grot sized Orc Marauders from the first metal orc set mixed in with my 30 man mobs though. Just to show the boys how it was done in the days of RT.
