I had no idea it was that detailed and realistic all the way down to the actual weapons they’re holding. That’s gotta be super cool. About 20 years ago, I came very close to collecting the Imperial Guard. One of my classmates from school back then used Space Marines, which almost got me into it.
This is kind of an off the wall question. Probably one you’d think is a dumb question, but I’m sure they’re all the same scale. They look 1:35, to me. Could you add your own weapons from a totally different model, the same scale? For example, the Imperial Guard resembles a WWII German army, could you bring in models representing tanks or other weapons that aren’t Warhammer?

So organized events like tournaments will have volunteer judges/referees. I've been a referee a couple of times, and it was pretty rewarding. Usually any rules dispute can be solved by reading the rule aloud, and consulting any recent FAQs/erratas for clarification. Sometimes the wording is so vague that it could go in either player's favor, so a judge's role in that is just to make a decision so the game can continue. For a friendly game the staff of the store you are playing at would be usually able to make an impartial ruling, as long as they are knowledgeable about the game themselves.
Well, seeing as it's an epic dark sci-fi/fantasy, "realism" is kind of a strong word lol. But it's more for looks than anything. If a squad of 20 Guardsmen have 18 Lasguns (think more powerful blasters from Star Wars), one Plasma Gun and one Flamer, I would assume the models can be built to reflect that. When they aren't modeled accurately to what the army list says it is(or should be) is when arguments and shady tactics are used.
Yes, as long as the weapons or other bits are in the same or similar scale and look either reasonably like the original weapon (or distinct for what it should be), that's not an issue. While every model has an "official" paint scheme and way to build it, many people use resin 3D printers to customize their minis to fit a theme, or make the posing more dynamic etc.
Something like that being this conversion in the high fantasy version of Warhammer, Age of Sigmar
