Reply To: 40K: Attitudes towards Non-GW models and mods at organised play events

My understanding is that GW are pretty tight on it. As for conversions, it always used to be a certain percentage had to be a GW mini, so a few headswaps is probably not a problem, but I am not 100% sure if that is still the case. As for non-GW events, they are done to the whims of the ones running it, though not doing WYSIWYG too tightly opens the event to exploitation of the rules, so I think they are tight on that for that reason. It should also be noted of non-GW tournaments some of them basically create their own rules at this point, so bear that in mind if you chose to go to tournaments of those kinds. The best thing to do is to ask, though. In my experience GW staff are quite helpful with questions like that and I’m sure they’re all briefed on official policy. Bit difficult to pop into your local and ask at the moment, but I think there’s a way of asking questions online.
