Hey, as a few of you know I am in the slow process of assembling my first ever 40k force (Imperial Guard).
Being a new player, I don't really know what the rules are (what is frowned upon) for what you assemble models with and what you decide to equip them with. For instance, if I threw a heavy bolter onto a Leman Russ, would I then be able to tell the opponent in one game that I've decided to equip him with something else (such as a flamer), or is that being a tad jerkish?
I know some people magnetize their models, but I don't really have anything of the sort at my disposal at the moment, so I've come here with my current composition in hopes that someone could bash me over the head with some knowledge concerning the optimal course for my army's visuals and loadout/upgrades. This being my first army, I'm entirely open to whatever you more experienced folk have in mind for potential steamrolling attributes. My hopes are that this will be able to minimize the chances of things that going horribly wrongwhich they inevitably will.
Thanks to everyone again for helping me out thus far.
