I just got my hands on the new tau pathfinder kit and I really love the options that
they have besides being marker light sacrifices.

I am a casual gamer and collector I do not expect to be in a tournament any time,
but I like having more than one loadout for my units. I like the ion and rail rifle models,
and I don't want to choose just one or take the time to magnetize them and risk damage.
So I plan on putting the special weapons on to make 'em look pretty and then strap a
carbine on their back for when they aren't using the special weapons (or they ran out of ammo ).

So my question to the picky folk is:
Would it be ok to have both weapons on my model for WYSIWYG?

It's really up to your group. I doubt they would have a problem as long as they are all equipped the same (weapon-wise).

As said above if they are all equipped the same it should be good, just make sure you opponent knows ahead of time which is being used
