Alternate model for Borka, tourney acceptability

[Rarenomad]

I wanted to know what the consensus would be to use the "Kilt lifter" trollkin model in lieu of the traditional Borka model.  I can only assume that most people wouldnt care in a friendly match, however if/when the time comes that I want to try going to tournies do you think that the judges would disallow the model?  If they did (because he is using a sword instead of a big mace, if I converted the sword to a mace would it then be ok (in your opinion)?

By "Official PP Tourney Rules"...no, but truthfully it depends on the TO.

The current Privateer Press Conversion rule is that over 50% of the model has to be made of the original model.  In friendly games, you are cool, but in a tournament, you would probably not be able to use it.  It would ultimately be up to the Tournament Organizer.

Russ has it in the right.

In tournaments I run, I wouldn't have an issue with it (though it would be better if you converted him to have a mace).  However, if someone raises a fuss, I would have the actual model on hand just in case.  I talked to Wes about this for some Gun Mages (he wanted to use some Gun Mages from the IK line; I told him I'd have my unit on hand in case someone was irritated by it).  While I don't have Borka at the moment, I do plan on getting him in the nearish future, so that shouldn't be an issue.

You would need a keg carrier model too though.

Yea, ironically I have just the keg carrier /sigh  Anyone have a borka they are willing to dump? XD

Unless you really want the model; you should be fine doing the conversion with the beer Troll.  I should be snagging Borka shortly so you could use mine if someone grumbles (and I doubt anyone would)

Yea, I think I may go the beer troll route lol, just need to figure out a way to change his sword to a big old mace lol (havent played too much with greenstuff), I may need to order the bitz from PP /sigh
