    So, following the instructions in the book, I built my second Engine with the Arc going forward instead of a circle. It basically looks like this:

    However, the back of the box (not sure if it is on my box or not) suggests that the arc placement is a Stegadon build and not an Engine build.

    So, my question is basically, does it matter? Would a competitive tournament with WYSIWYG rules rule that it must be a stegadon? The instructions clearly suggest it is an Engine alternative option, but I have already had one person comment that it was weird that I built my second engine like a stegadon. I haven't started painting beyond the initial primer, but I did use plastic glue, so it will be a pain to reconvert. Thanks for your feedback.

    If it doesn't have the Greatbow or the Flamethrowers than it is an EotGs. Stick the priest on it and ignore the haters:D

    I did attach the flamethrowers for fun, but I plan to remove them. The priest will be firmly on there. :)

    I find sticking to WYSIWYG so confusing sometimes so It’s nice to know it’s not just me.

    Just magnetize the flame throwers, then you can play it as both versions. :)

    WYSIWYG is a stupid rule, created in an era long gone to try and squeeze more money out of people. Admittedly tournaments may get funny about it but I don't see how hard it is to make a note like "The blue one has this", by that logic you'd have to sculpt all the magic items on your hero too! heaven forbid you change thier loadout!

    I have two stegadons built, one with great bow and one with blowpipes. But if I say they both have blowpipes then they both have blowpipes. simples
