Same thing for battlesuit weapons and the like. The only case where I break WYSIWYG is with my tanks and transports. Weapons are always WYSIWYG, but most of the Tau vehicle upgrades have no bits for representing them (outside of a couple of NockerGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303047137184142349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699569132549747626.post-36704668678957284512009-08-16T00:25:20.618-04:002009-08-16T00:25:20.618-04:00I try to stay as close to WYSIWYG as possible, alt...I try to stay as close to WYSIWYG as possible, although in the gaming group we are very open to using non-representative models and even some proxies in some cases (the IG Player in my group is very slow in building up the necessary funds for chimeras).<br /><br />Basically, how we handle it is that if there's a model on the board that is NOT representative, the owner has to explain what it Squirrel_Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644484579197037083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699569132549747626.post-53581824341674222122009-08-15T20:50:09.177-04:002009-08-15T20:50:09.177-04:00I try to have everything WYSIWYG, as this becomes ...I try to have everything WYSIWYG, as this becomes vital when I enter tournaments.
