any rules for conversions?

[GTDemon777]

privateerpress has rules on the legality of a conversion, i am just wondering if wyrd games has rules for converting

[Stern]

yes dude it is 67% wyrd's own or sculpted (2/3)

so only 33% non-wyrd product (1/3)

granted this is only for official tournaments otherwise it is the TO's decision

[GTDemon777]

K, thnx, btw, when u say sculpted, u meant 67% sculpted?

well two thirds must be sculpted or wyrd product

Easiest way to think of it as no more then 1/3 of it can be metal or plastic bought from another company. The other 2/3rd needs to be Wyrd or completely sculpted yourself.

What about removing parts of the model? (i.e. Removing the lady from Snowstorm's base)

Conversion Rules

Conversions are an excellent way to show off your modeling skills. In an Official Tournament, original sculpts are allowed if the TO deems them to be accurate representations of the models portrayed. If using a model that was converted with manufactured pieces, no more than 33% of the finished model may be built using other game companies’ models, while the rest must be either wholly or a combination of original sculpt or Wyrd-manufactured pieces.

I just had an odd thought.

Do you suppose Wyrd's base inserts count towards the necessary 67% Wyrd material?

Say I was about to put a girl from hasslefree, wearing a hat and a gun from Hats & Guns of malifaux, standing on a wyrd base insert, with a wyrd victorian lamp-post for good measure.

Hasslefree miniatures tend to be scrawny, so I imagine by that point it'd only account for a third of the total mass of he model.

[nilus]

Its really up to the TOs judgement. I think the point of this is that the basic body of the model should be mostly Wyrd.

Model, not scenery.

[Wormstrum]

Any ruling on my question? Considering Snowstorm for my Marcus collection, but not fond of the girl on the base. Would removing her be acceptable? Or am I required to include her for tournament play?

[Huoshini]

So....as long as we don't use pre-manufactured parts, and our models represents whatever we are using it for clearly...it legal? But if we use any other peices, we must combine it with a Wyrd model?

Right?

EDIT: What if we have the proper model from wyrd but we use our own conversions to play?
