Hi All As a newbie I am considering attending Full Scale Assault 2012 @ maelstrom in mansfield February 4th but do not know what to expect. If I wished to take 2 warhounds in my list, but only own one model, would I be able to use an old plastic warlord (with carapace weapons removed) as my second warhound? Is this type of substitution allowed or is it frowned upon? Cheers |

Cheers Mephiston I appreciate the offer. I will let you know if I need them. Still need to finalise my army list. |

More on 'counts as' I have a load of old format whirlwinds which I now tend to use as razorbacks, using the new format whirlwinds as whirlwinds. I assume this is acceptable? As an aside, what makes a substitution of one model as another legal or illegal? For example, I also don't have hunters, but have a load of old predators... would it be legal to use these models as hunters? - especially if I am not including predators in my army? Alternatively, I do have a surpluss of rhinos. If I modified these, (3D)printing some basic turrent and placing them on the rhinos, would that be accepted as a hunter? (FWIW - the images here are as a result of web searches and are not my models) |

Worst comes to the worst you can always borrow any models you need off me. Not the best painted, but they are there if you need them. |

lol Cheers Tim. Personally I would prefer to use my own models as they match the colour scheme of my army.... but I will keep your kind offer in mind. (spent the best part of Saturday painting 8 whirlwinds and a predator... fiddly stuff for sure )

or better still, have a printed quick refernce chart - picture and note saying what it is. will save your opponent having to ask during the game. |

I agree with all the above. A warlord for a warhound is taking it too far, but the other vehicle substitutions should be okay. They’re not perfect though, because a lot of us are familiar with old format whirlwinds and predators. We know what they are, and at some point I would forget that your old predator isn’t actually a predator. In the long run it would be kinda nice if you replaced or modified the proxies. Personally I think you should use the old whirlwinds as hunters, and old predators as razorbacks. That seems like a better fit to me. |
