Does the size of the model matter...

For the discussion of anything related to Warhammer 40,000

Would you feel it unfair if a model was a bit smaller/ bigger than the GW model it is counting as.

As long as it is within reason I am cool with a model that is a bit different in size and shape.

GW models are the only way to go. Don't try that counts as stuff with me.

Of course it does but how much... How big is too big and how small is too small...

I went with "within reason". If you want to model an Ork Warboss as big as a Killer Kan, it's not a problem. It's fluffy and could look cool.

I would even be cool with an army of midget space marines (squats in power armour). As long as it is done for fluffy reasons and not to gain a tactical advantage, I don't care. The reason rather than the resulting effect on the game is more important to me.

I would have no problem with it. But I don't see why you wouldn't just use the Ork Codex. It would be easy enough to make Grot versions of everything in the codex.

Everyone is still waiting to see it. The only issue I have is whether or not they'll match the IG codex when you finally roll them out in 7 years time. :D :D

Hurry up!

all depends on what "within reason" means. I'm also very much in the same camp as Spev when it comes to the reason behind the proxying. Art/style = ok. tact advantage=not fine.

eh, y'know. Stuff, and things

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...
