In the current ruleset for Matched Play, 10 of the 100 possible points come from being "Battle Ready" a standard of painting which is usually three distinct colors, and the model base with some sort of landscape on it achieved through textured paints (read: acrylics with some sort of grit or sand in them).

My concern with the accurate modeling of weapons is to limit people being "That Guy". Rarer than the internet would like you to believe, That Guy will remove a model that has a heavy weapon as a casualty, but actually he forgot it was the OTHER model that had the heavy weapon so he can still use it. Most organized tournaments follow the rule of What You See Is What You Get, or WYSIWYG, so your mental load is slightly less. For a casual or practice game I don't care, as friends and I will restart games quickly and change the army list or weapons to try and quickly test new ideas without having to have a million of the same models ready for the table for a strategy that may not work.
As with anything, someone always finds a way to get around the rules. Yeah, I’d have more questions about the bases and weapons, because to my knowledge, the weapons the figures use are permanent fixtures. They’re attached? I was told the Imperial Guard are pretty weak without the other weapons like the tanks, howitzers, etc. they have. They still look the coolest, to me though.

What I came over here to say is that I’m pretty excited to see how my rust project turned out when I get home from work. I think I’m going to be pleased.

Yes, when you build the models you make a choice on which weapons to outfit or models with. For vehicles and larger models like the Knights many people magnetize them to easily change them, or for transportation ease.

The Guard are due for their new rulebook for this edition of the game in a month or so, there are model and rule previews on the Warhammer Community website. I haven't been too aware of them, but it seems like there are some... interesting changes.

Friendly? A Trump supporter, friendly? Let’s be real, Phrozen. Trump supporters and friendliness don’t mix. Their whole persona is built on negativity and conflict, and I will not take any of them seriously when their worldview is basically a rejection of basic decency. Frankly, engaging with them feels like stooping to a level I have no interest in visiting. I mean, some of us do prefer to keep our standards intact.
CG takes anti-Trump to unseen levels Lol

Anybody on here ever see the Monica Lewinsky documentary about her and Bill Clinton? Folks thought Bill’s DNA on her dress was spinach dip LOL! I hollered when I heard that.
