I have been working on my army to make it suitable for WYSWYG (This is a static rule in my local shop for tournaments) but i have no idea for how to make cybork body for my nobs .

Which equipments , upgrades or anything related are free from WYSWYG ?

Is there a special rules for conversion of the models in tournaments ?
for example can i make shoota/rokkit kombi weapon just for glue 2 weapons together ?

I made cybork limbs for my Ork Nobz by chopping up some Necron Warriors that I had laying around and adding in some assorted oddments from my bitz box. They're now covered up mostly by the kitbashed mega-armor I later made for them, but them's the breaks. Also, as far as I'm concerned, sticking a couple of guns together is a perfectly fine way to make a kombi-weapon.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

The rules don't go into a lot of detail. WYSIWYG has always been more a matter of popular convention rather than strict rules. As such, how strict you need to be on it is entirely up to you and the people you play against, or the tournament organiser in the case of organised play.

That would depend entirely on the tournament, and on how strict the Tournament Organiser wants to be on it.

The key to WYSIWYG is simply this: From looking at your model, is what it is supposed to be and what it is armed with clear and easy for your opponent to identify?

Most people will let you slide on equipment that is compulsory - for example, a marine's bolt pistol and grenades.

Re your cyborks, the nob box has two cyborg arms and two cyborg heads so you can do four nobz from each box with those.

Maxmini also do some really nice cybork parts.

There are no rules regarding WYSIWYG outside of Characters and Eldar.

So "most peopl" letting it slide is a good thing, as they are following the rules.

To keep things simple: model optional equipment [as best you can e.g. cybork, but a melta shoudl always be a melta] , make it obvious what each unit is by the standard equipment being correct, and youre golden.

I've always thought of WYSIWYG as being there to remove confusion. So saying Boyz Mob 1 has cybork bodies and Boyz Mob 2 does not while both have identical models is not WYSIWYG. Not modeling grenades on your IG but paying so that every squad does in fact have them is fine. No confusion exists, since at no point does an opponent have to look and ask if a given squad has grenades, they all do. Given that, if you model up your 4 boyz with cybork bodies and then put them in mob 1 would also be fine. Since mob 1 has some cybork bodies and mob 2 does not, again no confusion exists.

The only "hobby" GW is interested in is lining their pockets with your money.

I dont know how cybork body looks in nob box but with necron parts my nobs looks like a arnold in terminator 2 which is kind a cool

The great thing with Orks is they dont do "standard", so necron parts would make great cybork bodies, you can probably also find cybork bitz online.

You have a few ways to handle 'cybork body'.

1. Really model the heads and arms as cyborky stuff

2. Say he has a cybork torso which cannot be seen by the 'eavy armor upgrade or Cybork Legs which are covered by his jeans.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on grotsnik bodies back when GW sold bitz at weight so I have a full squad of Nobz with very clear cybork bodies and a variety of noby weapons. So if someone wants to play WYSIWYG chicken I am ready to play!
