How much do people use modern minis in midhammer
Just a general question regarding people’s experiences when using current 40k minis in midhammer games.
I get there’s levels people enjoy, and I’m not here to yuck people’s yum. Much like The Old World, some people love seeing older pewter from a bygone age. Some people like to see new minis using actual proper rules. I’m a big of both!
I’m just curious on other people’s experiences with it, either personal or second hand. As I’m doing nids 4th using 5th rules, I have a lot of leeway in my codex for making suitable representations (leaping dual Scything talon warriors for von ryan leapers, etc).
There’s a few minis which do not have a direct count as, due to new minis fulfilling a new role in the next codex (tervigons, venomthropes etc) models getting a glow up and what not. Some could use a few tweaks to make them match the model. I’m just curious what people do?
Just avoid using them? Its not like the 4th nids book needs much to have a great game as its a very permissible and powerful ruleset already. Im sure armies like chaos marines are the same, no one needs venomcrawlers really!
Houseruling? Using points values from similar units
Straight transfer of rules? Ok for models introduced before the big changes of 8th/the primaris introduction
I’m wanting to avoid any feels bads moments, so just wanting to gain actual opinions and experiences
