what are the rules on greenstuff and legal games? can miniatures with green stuff upgrades and design be used in legal games

In most local tourneys anything goes.


In GW stores or 'ardboyz its 60% or more Citadel parts.

As long as it is to show a real model and doesn't have made up rules it should be fine.

kool what if i start my own legion

yes; not to mention it impresses people more when you say that a model you have was modeled by hand.

I always looked at it this way GS is a Citadel Product (or can be) so it counts towards the 60%.

what if used in huge tornaments

Usually comes down to what rules the TO has set. If it's GW 60% have to be citadel. Whether it's a huge or small tournament, it makes no difference.

Usually though they should let you, but it doesn't hurt to double check it with the TO.

Check with the TO. Every store/tournament will be different.

Some will allow 100% non GW, some will want 99/100% GW.

The final decision always rests with the Tournament Organiser.

It would greatly surprise me if a TO did not allow models with Greenstuff adaptations.

If you are making entirely new models out of 100% putty it would be different.

Is that per model or the whole force, because my Beastlord is bought from Avatars of War and much of my orkydom is scrap-made... =o

Usually per model. Alternalte manufacturers are not welcome in GW tourneys.

how can i put my new legion up on shelfs at a gw

Ask the staff!

Sometimes, if they have the space they will be happy to put anyone's stuff in the display cases. If your local store is quite small though, they will pick their display stuff based on the quality of painting and the overall feel of the army. I don't mean to dis-hearten you when i say this, but they are unlikely to put more space marines on display just because they are painted a different colour/have some GS work on them: Most GW's I've visited have at least three SM armies in their cabinets already.

What's the standard of painting like at your local GW compared to your own? If it's pretty high, you may find it takes a while before you get up to a high enough standard for display work. As a bonus though, there are going to be a lot of people you can ask for advice and tips! Best of luck

Is this 60% rule by mass or by volume?

i created a new type of soldier for the space marine codex but i want to try to get it published and sold at stores so i can legally use them i started a rabid space marine legion but im afraid to post picks and share more info due to many amature theives lol

Your naivety astounds and amuses me...

Read that last post you made, and think about it for a minute.

The chances of this happening are Nil.

Post your idea in the proposed rules forum to get some feedback, and feel free to use them in games if your opponent agrees to your rules.

I seriously doubt that your ideas are any better than the ones that GW comes up with and, besides, it's their IP, not yours.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
OK, maybe that's overly harsh....

....If you want your ideas to be taken up by GW you will have to pursue a career in games design and get into GW at some point.

what if i just give it to them i dont want to make money off them, i just want them to be legal

Not a chance in my opinion.

Show us some pictures, we can give feedback, and maybe help you make some house rules.

They're not going to be legal. Ever. GW will never make your made-up rules legal.

From your posting style I'd guess you are 12 ish? Try to use capitalization and punctuation on the internet, it goes a long way towards people taking you seriously.

And no offense, but unless you are some genius child prodigy there is no way that your custom sculpted space marines would make "amature theives" try to copy you.

Feel free to post your creations on Dakka! Nobody will steal them, lol.

Also the word you are looking for is probably Chapter, not Legion.

The chances are still very low i'm afraid to say.

Thanks for you all who arent being total dicks about it, and im not 12 ish more like 21 and my major in colege in art and graphic design you prick so as far as theives go your probily one of them

Are you sure? Your profile info says that your age is -1, and my little brother writes better than you.

Back on topic, I can see no chance of GW ever making your models legal, or anyone ever stealing your designs, so just post your minis up.

I guess you are right, i mean what are the chances right, well i have antother question if my work is a little above average would it sell on ebay

Show us your work so we can decide.
