hobointherain Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Probably a bit of a silly question and I suspect I know the answer already but just thought I'd double check Ive recently slung together a captain with relic blade and planned on putting a storm shield on him too. But, when I mocked up the model the shield just hid too much nice detail and it seemed a shame to cover up half the model. Instead I decided to stick a servo skull hovering over his shoulder (the one with the halo from the dev set) imagining that the little fellow contained some sort of advanced shield tech that would act in the same way as a storm shield. would this stand in tournaments or regular games. I can think of at least two players who would kick up a stink about it but would I have the rules on my side?

Mylow Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 As it is called Storm SHIELD, i don´t think your Shieldskull would stand in Tournaments.

Khorneeq Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 If You stick a Storm Shield to Servo-skull (even on a separate base) it might work. I emphasised might as it is not the standard way to represant this piece of wargear on model. For Tournaments just ask organizer before. Otherwise I don't think it will be ok with WYSIWYG.

dswanick Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 My opinion : so long as it is clearly modified so as not to look like a normal Servo-skull (which, i believe, the model in question can't take as wargear normally) and no other models on the table are using a similar model to represent anything else - there should be no problem. The thing you want to avoid, which WYSIWYG prevents, is having some option clearly shown on the model which you are not using in the game (the model has a Bolter but you paid for a Stormbolter).

Grey Mage Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 "Counts as" as long as you fully explain it to your opponent, and its not misleading- ie you dont have random skulls throughout your army- then your fine.

hobointherain Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 thanks for clearing that up guys! I imagine I'll be fine in most casual games but just wanted to know how I stood if someone started waving the rule book at me and scowling lol, it just seemed like such a shame to hide like half the model behind a shield. I may just paint one up and blue tack it on if anyone challanges my shield skull Cheers all Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243383-servo-skull-storm-shield/#findComment-2942744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
