Just signed up, and intend to.....

....make two of my, me marines one for the offical army and one for me to keep, to show folks what I did, and remember fondly in my old age.
One thing that I do need clearing up,is the WYSIWYG, does this mean that as a bolter toating marine I can only have a bolter, or can I also have a bolt pistol, knife, or auspex, somewhere on my mini?
Should I make up one with just the bolter to send in, and then make my own one a little more showy?

We have the true grit special rule so you cna put a CCW in one hand and a bolter in the other I don't think they would mind if you had other things around a belt or strap. Although I would contact your Squads sergant to see what they think.

Brucey...

bruenor,

The one for submission should try to follow WYSIWYG (but have some fun converting him), the one you keep at home can have whatever you like. Because we are using the True Grit trait you can model a Marine with the Bolter and a close combat weapon (no powerfists though, that is weargear).

Questions like this should go on the Ask Auntie Bagger (aka TWB - she who knows all).

Hope that helps.
