I have some friends who plays 40k and I decided to join them!

I have also a crucial question . I like the fluff of the astra militarum, but alas, not the miniatures. That's why I will make my army with some GW minis, but mostly I'll use models from other companies. I know that most probably I will not be allowed to play at GW stores for monopoly reasons. But the non GW stores also bans from tournaments and other events non citadel miniatures?

Hi. Welcome to Dakka. As for your question it depends on the store to be honest. Some will and some won't

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

Hello Temuzhin. Welcome to Dakka.

As for your questions I don't think it'll be a problem if you add Astra Militarium markings on your other miniatures/customize/find some way to connect those physical miniatures to the Grimdark world of 40K. I customize a lot of my Noise Marines (with pieces coming from AoS miniatures, Dark Angels, Chaos Daemons, etc.). I look forward to your work!

Most of the non GW stores I've been in have been very loose and open in allowing people to use other models. As long as they look the part, it's cool with a lot of people. But it's always something you should make sure of first.

Also welcome!
