Wysiwyg warriors

I find that consistency is better than WYSIWYG. Most of my termagants are the old 2nd edition sculpt. When I tell them all my gaunts have devourers they say okay and we play the game.

Is that the curly tailed ones or different?

niiai the best would be to magnetise them. I found warriors really easy do, chop off some of the shoulder, carve out some of the sticker and pop some 3-4mm magnets and tidy up with green stuff.

If the players are inexperienced, why do they care about WYSIWYG? When I first play an army, I can't tell what gun is what as I have no idea about the army, so WYSIWYG didn't help me.

Are you kidding me? They can't even tell their own models apart. That is why they try to stick to WYSIWYG. Last game my opponent forgot to place a unit of boys because he though they where all in the deathroller. And he always forgot he had rockets in some of the units. He has been playing 3 matches with ork heroes heoric intervene for 1 cp until he noticed it was only for boys. And then that it was talkinga bout piling in or consolidate and not heoric intervention.

Saying 'you have to now not only remember your own models, but mine as well. PS, nothing they are armed with gives any visual cue, you have to ask me everytime.' That is not good comunications. It makes the game much harder. It is experieced players who do not care about WYSISYG because they just take it all in stride.

All my warriors are second hand, built by different people. Virtually each warrior is equipped differently. Managing 9 different profiles for 9 warriors is a nightmare. That's why I try to be consistent with my squads and have clear visual cues as to warrior as special equipment.

If you want to chop off arms and magnetized, go for it. For me, I've got more than enough models to paint that I do not want to have to repaint the ones I already finished.

Yes, they have curly tails.

I love those old sculpts. So derpy but endearing.
