<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Big stink with count-as"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Big stink with count-as gw parts (meeting gw tourney standards), the problem I feel will arise is some knuckle head getting uppity that it is a converted, count-as army. I understand wysiwyg rules, however when using conversion/count-as, how do you adjust for that? Do I use dark eldar weapons on the army im trying to use as an imperial force?

The other area is since Im doing Dark Eldar (thats the way im leaning) rules, I am using my FW vulture gunship (with conversion work) for a razorwing jetfighter and my thunderbolt for a voidraven bomber. Once again, do i use Dark eldar weapons on the models or keep them imperial? 'ard boyz rules/rtt say something to the effect that it has to be majority gw parts, wysiwyg and fw models are allowed to represent gw units (no fw rules though).

Thanks for your time.

for reference: •The 'What You See Is What You Get' (WYSIWYG) rule is in effect. This means all units must be
easily identifiable as the particular codex choice they represent and that any and all
weapons/options taken for a unit or character must be clearly represented on the model).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2106421.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2106421.page GMT Re:Big stink with count-as
In a tourney it would peeve me off. I don't want to try to remember what all the different units you've made "really" are. There's enough things to think about besides whether or not the unit i'm looking at which has legs from one kit and the torso from another is actually a seraphim squad or something else.

as far as this. i think using models from a completely different army range kinda breaks that, no matter what guns they have.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2107414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2107414.page GMT Big stink with count-as

Tuff Tities! Its part of the game, and is clearly written into the rules. If you can keep track of units in a tourney you shouldn't be playing.

the wysiwyg rule will be difficulte if i go the way of the dark eldar. however, SoB would be far easier (though no flyers) to work on. Another possiblity Ive seen from my scetches is the conversion work will look similar to art images of the sisters of silence, and I could (with a bit of work) turn them into a "count-as" grey knights. More work but more cost effective.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2107520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2107520.page GMT Re:Big stink with count-as

I'm sorry to say but playing against someone with converted models that are supposeded to be from one army but using the rules from a different army is not part of the game.

If it all looked good and was cohesive and easy to follow along then it shouldn't be a problem. I've played against to many people who were using a mish mash of models from here and there and everywhere not to add my .02 cents that it might peeve me off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2107579.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2107579.page GMT Big stink with count-as lol. I already have tournament armies, so this one could just be a fun army...dont know. I will see the tourney offical tommorow and hash it out. I will post here with the results in case anyone else has issues or questions. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2108537.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2108537.page GMT Big stink with count-as http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2111178.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2111178.page GMT Big stink with count-as GT and local games, as long as you are going by the rules, go ahead and play. Players have to understand that not everyone like the models that GW put out.

That said, to satisfy some of the more uppity players out there, I think I've heard of people giving their squads banners for tournament settings which fairly explicitly state what they represent, at least unit-wise (EG a backpack banner saying "Wyches" or "Emperor's Witches" or something of the sort, in a suitably florid but readable script) While that could go badly and might be a bit of a cop-out, if approached seriously and with enough decorative flair it could potentially work out without detracting too much from the overall look.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2113006.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327338/2113006.page GMT
