unitron Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I`m in the middle o putting chaos cultists from those little 5-men boxies togather. For some more variety I intend to convert them the most effortless manner - by just replacing some arms with those armed with laspistols from the cadians` sprues. Now. Replacing these las pistols with auto pistols seems just too much of a hassle to me - and not because I have sooo many of em, it`s more because i`m no big on more time consuming conversions - plus, AFAIK, both las and auto weapons (except for the cannons, obviously) share exactly same numbers rules-wise. My question is: can someone with WYSIWG experience tell me if the exception described above (weapon used to represent the actual one, bears the same profile rules-wise anyway) would be allowed?

Major_Gilbear Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Er... Allowed by whom? If you think it may be an issue, shouldn't you be asking your prospective opponents this? Personally I'd have no issue (or if you used the Gretchin slug pistols, or Necromunda Stub guns, or whatever else suitable), but then again I'm not playing against your army. <shrug> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324110-csm-cultists-with-las-pistols-wysiwyg-friendly/#findComment-4448542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDrake28 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 In this type of situation, where the unit doesn't actually have any other pistol they could take, and nothing in else in your army could, then your opponent shouldn't be getting them mixed up. As long as you notify them before, of course. I highly doubt anyone would have a problem with this Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324110-csm-cultists-with-las-pistols-wysiwyg-friendly/#findComment-4448543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
K0rtmer Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'm not sure if my answer fits into the PCA part of the forum. But I can reassure you that a laspistol has exactly the same stats as an autopistol. Had cultists an option to take laspistols, they'd run exactly the same way as they do now. Should you ever run into somebody not wanting to play you because your army's got truthful conversions like that ... well, that guy clearly had some issues and would likely not be great to play to begin with.

Canadian_F_H Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The description of imperial guard used to say they could be armed with autoguns on some worlds and that the rules are identical... Anybody with an issue of Las vs auto pistols and rifles is rediculous.

Warsmith Uveron Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I just refer to them as "Small Arms". I point it out to my opponent, state which units have rifles, and which have pistols and move on.
