Hello,
I'm in beginning to convert my army, but I'm kind of stuck trying to convert some Arc Rifles that don't look... weird. I've managed to make something I'm proud of but it still looks like plasma shotgun.
Hence this thread - I love Plasma Cavalier model and from the beginning I thought that it is the Arc Rifle that everybody was saying that looks cool, I also like the cannon version in Kataphron Destroyers kit.

The question is - would it be ok with you if a player was to say that a model with a converted weapon was guy with Plasma Cavalier, but guy that actually hold the Plasma Cavalier from the kit counts as Arc Rifle and Kataphron with Plasma Cannon count as Heavy Arc Rifle?
Would it be very confusing? Would you care?

Counts as totally gets a pass from me, as long as I can tell what is what (i.e. the Melta gun is the Flamer, etc.). However, if it's not clear (THIS boltgun is a melta, THAT boltgun is a boltgun), then it's a bit more confusing and I might be annoyed
