    Ultimately? It's the 12th Commandment - Don't be a shortened form of Richard about it.

    And in case anyone is wondering? 11th Commandment is 'cover thine own bahookie'
    I know everyone has been freaking out about the demon prince example, but everyone please calm down, it was an example I'm sure we all understand the difference.
    it would be interesting to note how GW seems to slowly moving towards more offical rules like the d-prince clause or the end of wrecks, etc. to make it a game where these sort of things are absent beyond control of the gamers themselves.

    In my opinion there is just a point to keep in mind in order to allow or not allow the presence of non original Games Worshop's models in a game, and that point is the kind of game to play.

    If the battle is set by any official Games Workshop organization, let's say a GW shop, or franchise, the most probably is that using non original models won't be allowed.

    If the battle is set by an independant games club, or by a group of friends, it all comes down to agree in advance what is allowed and what is not. After that, all set in the table accomplishing the agreed can fight.

    On the other side, I must admit that I hate playing against unpaitend models, since I always try to set on the tables my painted units in order to improve the visual aspect of the game. For the same reason, I love discovering proxies, or scratch buildings etc that are really well built and painted. I wouldn't mind losing a game against those fliers in the pictures shown in previous posts.

    To be fair to him, if a single loss in an Apocalypse game has someone selling off their entire army and never playing again, the game is not for them.
    Read the above in a Tachikoma voice.

    Well loosing to a poker chip army would not endear one to the hobby. I can see a new player thinking that if this is the norm of the hobby I'll find something else. I dropped an entire series of tournaments after 2 really bad games. In both of these my opponent was using proxied units which IMO should never be allowed in public events.

    This is a pic from an Apocalypse game:

    Those are beverage-can Drop Pods with Salamanders ALL proxied to have combi-meltas. How do you think that Eldar Player felt after having his Phantom destroyed by that?

    Of course if the opponet was happy that is one thing...

    My gaming group to try and stem our grey hordes played with the rule that all armies had the Hatred: Unpainted. So anyone shooting at an unpainted miniature gained that rule.

    Was just sticking to the example.

    Coming without a key model because you forgot it is one thing. But using a power where you don't even own the appropriate model? Quite another

    That is a brilliant house rule.
