I'm just starting to build my warband, and am going down the WYSIWYG-ish route. In other words my thugs, though classed as having a single weapon, also have an extra sword/dagger moulded on them. I can't be bothered to try to hack them off, so they're staying on - I'll just ignore them (or explain them away as ceremonial items etc.)
In our games, we have always tried to keep to the WYSIWYG standard as much as possible, but without making it a "do this or don't play" imperative. After almost 30 years of tabletop gaming, I have hundreds of painted minis, and can usually find one that fills the bill, but if I can't, nobody in our group is going to complain as long as the mini is reasonably close. Recently, for example, I was stumped for a Frostgrave Tracker -- staff and bow...how many minis have you seen with that combination? I could have done a conversion, but I have plenty of other modeling projects to work on and didn't feel like putting the time into it, so I just used an elf ranger-type with a long bow. As long as there isn't a lot of confusion caused by using identically equipped models, I say don't sweat the small stuff. Pick an appropriate substitute and have fun...because having fun is the point, after all.rags
