| Does anyone know whether it is generally accepted to use alternative (i.e. non-representative) figures for a particular team roster in tournaments, or whether it is frowned upon? For example, Impact Minaiatures do some alternative lines of figures: Desert Dogs, Ancient Egyptians, Deadlings, etc which could be used under Blood Bowl rules. I was thinking of using Desert Dogs figures, but under the 'Amazon' roster - but only if its not going to cause an issue. |

It really depends upon the tournament. I know that the Majors (Chaos Cup, Spike, Blood Bowl, etc.) do not allow any figures other than GW based (more than 50% of the figure is from GW) and possibly scratch built figures to compete. That said, there are a great many tournaments which do allow any figures of any origin to be used.
So I guess, just check the tournament rules before you pack the Impact! figs. |

| The only tournament I have ever seen care about who made the miniatures were the official GW Majors. Outside of that I have not seen tournament (unless run by a GW store) that enforced the team to be GW figures. But as said before ... check with the tournament is your best bet. |

Well, what they said basically, in the Netherlands some of the tournaments even give away Impact figures as prizes. If GW models are not actively enforced I think you should be fine, but of course it's better to check to be sure  |
