Although you are allowed to use Alternative models, conversions and kitbashed models (see next section), for each datasheet in your roster you are expected to use the original model matching that datasheet. Since GW provides multiple assembly options for your models, especially wargear and weapon we enforce the following rules.

WYSIWYG

As simple as it sounds, What You See is What You Get, your model should have exact weapons and wargear as listed on your roster. No exceptions.

Soft WYSIWYG

You are allowed certain exceptions in terms of wargear and weapons.

Unit, special weapon

A model with a specific weapon can only be represented by a model caring a weapon that is not already in use by other models in the unit. AND All models carying the same weapon should be represented by models with matching weapons.

Example: If a unit has two plasma weapons, they may proxy as two of the same weapon type (e.g. two meltas / two heavy bolters / two flamers). They may not proxy as mixed weapons (e.g. one flamer and one melta), and may not proxy as plasma and melta at the same time. In an Astra Militarum unit, a Guardsman armed with a lasgun may not proxy as a Guardsman with a plasma gun.

Restriction: Marker or token next to the unit, described actual used wargear

Unit, standard weapon

A unit where all models are equiped exactly same can be represented by models caring any variety of weapons

Example: A Fire Warriors unit equipped with pulse carbines may be played as equipped with pulse rifles.

Restriction: Marker or token next to the unit, described actual used wargear

Unit, standard weapon, mixed ratio

A unit where models have mixed loadout must follow WYSIWYG

Example: A Bullgryn unit with mixed wargear (Slabshield and Brute Shield) must be represented on a model-by-model basis.

Restriction: WYSIWYG

Unit, specialist model

A units that includes special attachments or models equipped with special wargear must be represented correctly on the models.

Example: A Scions model equipped with a hot-shot lasgun may not represent a model equipped with a medi-kit or banner. A Custodian Warden model may not represent an equivalent model with a banner unless the banner is physically present on the model.

Restriction: WYSIWYG

Vehicle, weapon

Optional weapons on the Vehicle can be represented by any other optional weapon

Example: A Leman Russ sponson and secondary weapons can be any avaialble options (do not mix it up with main gun represented tank it self, see Proxies below)

Restriction: Marker or token next to the unit, described actual used wargear

Vehicle and monsters, all weapons, squadron/multi model

Units of monsters/vehicles must follow WYSIWYG unless every model has exactly same weapons and wargear

Example: T’au Crisis units with mixed loadouts on a per-model basis. Astra militarum sentinels with mixed loadouts on a per-model basis

Restriction: WYSIWYG

Single model unit (can't be attached, not vechicle)

May use any available wargear options regardless of model as long as it complies with Alternative models, conversions and kitbashed models models restrictions

Example: Tau Lone Spear kroot Blast javeline can be used as Kroot long gun Bloodthister can have any of the available datasheet weapons

Restriction: Marker or token next to the unit, described actual used wargear

Proxies

Alternative models, conversions, and kitbashed models are allowed, BUT must meet the following criteria:

All Alternative, converted and kitbashed models MUST be pre-approved by tournament organiser (send photo with sizes and preferably near original model). The following are the guidelines for your models to be approved successfully, they:

Examples of unacceptable alternatives include, but are not limited to:
