A model may be given more equipment, but may not change any magical gear. A Model may change regular equipment for magical equipment. A regiment may add models or add options (like shields). Example: A Hero who was the General in Heavy Armor in the 1000 point list may now be a Battle Standard Bearer on a Horse with a magical Banner in the 3000 point list. A Level 2 mage may become Level 4, and may add additional gear, but may not drop any.
• Model use and conversions: Whenever possible, your models should reflect WYSIWYG. If it is not apparent to anyone walking by your table what the model represents in the Warhammer world, you are encouraged to label the movement tray. Difficult or confusing model use may result in a penalty to Composition and Sportsmanship. If you have questions or concerns, contact [email protected] for a pre-judgement before April 1st.
