I doubt they'll do that. If I don't decide to persue my flirtation with High Elves, I may take an all Beastman line-up based on Balrog's successful roster. If I do, they'll be represented by the new plastic WH Chaos Marauders. GW don't have any problem with that kind of thing, as long as the figures are identifiable and GW made.
Of course it all depends on the format, and whether stars are in or not.
( Check out the 'Res-my take' thread which I'm just going to put into archive.)

Not if you play each other, or Sputnik if he takes lizards again. ;]

I've seen 40k tournaments where they've disallowed any unit that wasn't from the current range.

Really that is extremley harsh, sounds like GW in full money making mode.

Only problem i've had was at an Epic touney 4-5 years ago, when jervis grilled me over my use of a non-GW mini as a Eldar bomber.

On the topic of GW models only, do they mean GW BB models only or are they quite happy to see teams converted from other GW ranges (especially WFB plastics as thats my Skaven team I want to take).

If anything conversions are encouraged, I had a bunch on my team and look what happened

Looks like the Nurgle's Rotters mini's are coming out just in time for me to take a freshly painted Chaos team then.

Can't wait to go to this event, let's see just how good/bad I really am at BB!

Still, a night in Bugmans is good enough an excuse on it's own to go

I have my doubts whether a certain 'St Bernard Apoth' was made by GW at all...could be wrong though!

Yeah, I remember playing a dark angels army, did we play in the first game, you had a lot of Land Raiders and Terminators?

It was one of tournaments they held at Leicester uni, it would have been 1996 or 97?

I hope you weren't offended by my use of non-GW minis

, I remeber the judges weren't to happy

That was my first Tourny, I must have only been about 16, stoped collecting a few years after that but have been sucked back in by Blood Bowl this year
