Typically, I only use WYSIWIG with things that don't come standard, like plasma guns. Anything the model comes with, I don't really worry about.

i do require at least one marine to have a melta bomb tho if they have them but with the new codex rules its only one model anyway]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183574.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines DA army from scratch, I'd probably try to model the bolt pistols on each figure, but if I already had an existing army, I probably wouldn't bother, and wouldn't giver anyone flak for not doing it themselves. Do they even give you enough pistols in the DA boxed sets?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183583.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183595.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines WYSIWYG is just so your Plasmaguns don't turn into Meltaguns half way through the battle.

IMO.

Altho it is cool when even basic troopers are converted nicely.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183597.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183597.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines If a model has a holster, I guess it could be anything you wanted.

Someone suggested making a base with piles of bolt pistols and grenades you can put on the table somewhere. I think it would be good for a laugh.
I made such a pile for an objective marker once. My Tau were confused and thought they were looking for an Imperial cache.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183710.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183710.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines WYSIWYG with something like a bolt pistol (assuming the model has his hands full) I'll just give them a holster.

For normal marines, I wouldn't worry about it (especially if they're already done).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/183888.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines I don't bother with WYSIWYG with standard equipment, any marine with bolt pistol and ccw may end up with two bolt pistols it looks good.

My assault marines have two models with flamer pistols and chainswords, because they also look better. Not old flamer pistols too, but conversion jobs using IG flamers and bolt pistol parts.

Really, who cares, I'd play against you if you were playing with paper chits if they are a decent opponent. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/184063.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/184063.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines

Bingo.  Doing just that for my CSM squads, or at least for the squad of combat nutters.  I figure hey, maybe they'd want to shoot some bolters instead, so I'll give them a 40mm base with loads of bolters on it ftw.

They can have a deck of playing cards as heavy support that you can fling card by card for a rapid fire attack, or just bend the deck and shoot it all at once.

Maybe some lemon juice to rub in the paper cuts as wargear.

But yeah, glad to hear that no one would really kick up a fuss about it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/184141.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/184141.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/184349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/183564/184349.page GMT RE: WYSIWYG Bolt Pistols on Marines GW supplied paper and ink.
