Hi!

Pretty much as title - I built my dudes because I thought they looked cool - they've got ruststalker heads, flechette blasters and power swords that I believe are actually technically transonic razors.

Have I just built them illegally? I had no idea for honestly at least a year at this point

Cheers for putting me in my place!

Should say what they can take in codex:adeptus mechanicus

Infiltrators come equipped with stub carbines and power swords and they may replace them with flechette blasters and taser goads.

Make of that what you will.

WYSIWYG is not an official rule, unless you go to a tournament, or you make it a rule. You can build them to look what you like. Just tell your opponent what they are really equipped with.

Yeah, think that was the point at which I made my mistake, I could of sworn it felt like I could pick and choose... I guess the rules are a little vague, but it seems pretty clear that it's intended to be either one setup or the other.

Yeah, I know, haha. I suppose it's no big deal just calling my lil uzi looking thingies stub carbines, or the little swords taser goads. Was hoping I was being dumb with the rules, not my models.
(seems daft that they'd make a cool little cyberpunk ninja guy, only to prohibit him from taking a sword and an uzi )
