One thing that bothers me about "Random Power" charts (Boons of Chaos, Daemonic Gifts, the Firstborn Curse bonuses, etc) is how they make "pure" WYSIWYG that much more tricky to keep track of.
As a hypothetical example, say you model a Herald of Nurgle with an elaborate suit of armor, but never actually roll Warpforged Armor. Or vice-versa.
Do you simply play with "Gentleman's Agreement" and try to take honest notes about who has what powers? Or do you keep status markers on hand? Or do you try to have a heavily-magnetized mini, or something else?
How do you cope with when WYSIWYG and random bonuses don't mesh with each other?

If you are rolling it randomly, I don’t think there is any expectation of modeling it WYSWYG.

It would be nice, but too much to ask.

Magnetized options for everything on those lists is really the only way to go, if you want to go through the hassle of it. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.
