It would have taken me a lot longer than two days to produce a cardstock tank like that. (It took forever for me to finish my cardstock Necron Monolith!)<br /><br />At one time, GW had a policy that required models used in tournaments to contain a certain percentage of the components (70% or so I think) as genuine Citadel model parts. People using cardstock models were getting around that by building their tanks from GW boxes. (It wouldn't surprise me to find that they've since closed that particular loophole, however.)<br /><br />It's also worth noting that back in the 1st edition Warhammer 40,000 days, scratch building models was encouraged. The rulebook even said that you could use any miniatures you wanted, at any scale! (That's one of the reasons that I play using the old rules.)<br /><br />There was a brief renaissance when the 3rd edition rules came out, and the game included vehicle design rules that once again allowed scratch building and conversions. Unfortunately, it was short lived.<br /><br />I suspect that the game designers at GW would like to do more fun things along those lines, but they simply aren't permitted to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271019299936673232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911586376639817574.post-84546399863283970482012-04-18T21:13:37.515-07:002012-04-18T21:13:37.515-07:00Beautiful build.
