Vermicious Knid Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 This requirement is from Wyrds Official Gaining Grounds tournament documentation not something I made up. A TO can choose not to enforce it however he can also justifiably choose to enforce it. Other players could also justifiably complain about such things to preclude the models use (competitive events tend to bring out the worst in people). Well that's not exactly correct. I suggest that you re-read the document again - you've made a pretty common mistake in regards to this rule. There is a clause in the document that states that all TO's have final say over what conversions are allowed. This gives the power for the TO to either disallow any conversion (even if it has 67% Wyrd parts) and to allow any conversion (even if it's a complete proxy). The example you stated is not "a TO chosing not to enforce it" as it's explicitly stated that the TO has global power for conversions. It's not like a TO allowing conversions is an example of him being slack in his authority, as you seem to imply. Additionally, the tournament players have no ability to "complain" about a conversion, and force that conversion to be disallowed. The power rests solely with the TO. Again - no TO I have ever met would disallow a conversion like the one we are discussing. It's a question of what they have the authority to do, and what they are ACTUALLY going to do.

Seregon Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 To be fair, they probably would disallow such a conversion/proxy for the Wyrd run GenCon Avatars. Other than that, it's very likely to be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermicious Knid Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Actually it's unlikely they would care even at gencon. It's not as though there's a ton of Malifaux players at these events - they can't afford to turn away players/models like this. As long as the conversion is very obvious/logical, nobody's disallowing anything, Gencon or no Once again - it's not a question of what they are technically able to do - it's a question of what they are ACTUALLY going to do in a real world situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpectreEliteGaming Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 At first I was like - oh hey, I have a weird platform sorta base that I thought I would never have a use for, just for that trunk! then I was - awwww its a 40mm base. 8*( Time to get creative.

Vermicious Knid Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Pretty sure it's actually a 30mm base, Spectre - which is causing some folks a little bit of consternation - so it's even worse than you think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpectreEliteGaming Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah, I know... My fancy platform base is 40mm.... oh well, ima cut it up and shove it on a blank 30mm I guess :/ Models hanging off bases drives me crazy... Miss Step...
