Rule of cool always wins.

Rule of "I'm a cheap git who slapped some bits on a plastic terminator because I didn't want to fork over the dough for the real model."

Well you can play with it but you might get strange facial gestures, and quirky comments.

I have a buddy who is like that he'll take a plastic chaos terminator, slap him with some bits, and be like "It's my Abaddon conversion!"

IE the converted model should generally look as good or better than the model it is substituting. Example...

A Ork Trukk, kit bashed with a Rhino, and a Tamiya Tiger to make a battlewagon will probably = cool. More than likely.

A $2 toy truck from Fred's spray painted red, with some random ork bits glued here, and there is just being cheap, and almost never cool.

With the exception to those with mad plasticard skills who can make said truck look better than something off the Forge World site.
