Anaraion Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Greetings and thank you in advance... So I have some metal long fangs with the old metal missile launcher... http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Warhammer-40k-Space-Marine-classic-heavy-weapon-missile-launcher-metal-unpainted-/00/s/MTQwNlgxNDEx/$T2eC16hHJHgE9n0yHGLBBQ(L5DMWQ!~~60_12.JPG So I want my long fangs to look unique and cool while alos making a nod towards technology. In looking around at backpacks I fancied this... http://www.modelbits.co.uk/images/space_marine_devastator_sergeant_backpack_med.jpg. So the question is simply... is this legal? Does anything here violate the WYSIWYG or make me ineligible for tournaments? Again my thanks in advance :).

JamesI Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Can't see any reason anyone should object to that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263416-potentially-stupid-noob-question/#findComment-3209143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It'll be fine - it's entirely legal afaik. The weapon is representative of the option given to the model, so you can't be faulted on the grounds of WYSIWYG. In fact, you might pick up some kudos from the vets for using older bits. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263416-potentially-stupid-noob-question/#findComment-3209186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaraion Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 What reason would make you think no The rule of Murphy... :). The one where I model and paint and find out later it was "obviously" illegal. So just wanted to check. Thanks guys!!

Warbringer Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 IMO. Rule of Cool > Rule of Murphy If it looks cool and you don't use lots of totally different things to represent a missile launcher its cool ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263416-potentially-stupid-noob-question/#findComment-3209243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Aren't they GW bits? If so, it's fine. I recall having two older LF w/ ML and two LF w/ LC over the shoulder on each. Definitely going to earn you some points with the older edition players, that's for sure.

Anaraion Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yes they are GW bits, the Devastator Sgt backpack in fact. I was just not sure if the vertical rise over the left shoulder was some equipment upgrade somehow. As for my models, well I would like to share but this place can be a bit intimidating. Some of you have some mad painting skills and us non-Astartes painters might be in a bit of awe ^_^. That said i do want to share. Many here have inspired me and would be nice to share what I have whatever the worth. I do think the actual collection might have some interest as well as my enjoyment of modeling. I like to combine parts from the different eras. I will save them for a later date once I get a bit more confidence in my ability or am more comfortable around here (and pretty sure it will have to be the later :P ). Regardless thanks for the help ^_^. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263416-potentially-stupid-noob-question/#findComment-3209376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
