Alternative Warwalker Models

So, at the hobby store I spotted some Dust Warfare models that would make alright warwalkers. Blowing $19 per instead of gw's $30 per feels much better on the wallet.

My question being, would you folks care all that much if an opponent brought a non-gw model to a game?

I don't think they are the right scale.

That said I've never had any problems playing someone using proxies that are the right size in a friendly game.

Not when it comes to an official competition though...

GW is a model company, not a rules company.
Therefore, I don't have any issue with people using any models whatsoever to play the game that is not their primary focus, and figure no organizer should either.

In a basic game balance sense I would like them to be of fairly appropriate size (albeit, I still run old Ork Trukks, so maybe I should zip my lip) At around 3-3.5 they're a touch on the weedy side.

I'd really likely have no issues whatsoever, and if they have a nice paint job and match the look of the rest of the army I'd be probably really happy to play against them.

I personally think they look too human made, but i'd play you anyways.

Yes, they look more like funky IG Sentinels to me.

Ah Count, ya beat me to it.
