So, the SWGPA Rules says this: Quote:Conversions
Conversions (customization of models) are allowed in SWMGPA-sanctioned Star Wars Miniatures tournaments, but must adhere to the following rules:
• The base of the conversion must be the same size as the mini being represented
• Base models must remain easily identifiable. A player must be able to tell what each model is on first glance at the battlefield.
• When a conversion is being used it must have the corresponding official card for each conversion model. For example, if a player is using three customized Mouse Droid models and one official Mouse Droid model in their squad they will need to have four official Mouse Droid cards.
• Additional equipment (including weaponry) may not be added to a model if that equipment is not represented on the model’s stat card. For example, a player may not add a blaster to a model that doesn’t have a ranged attack.
• Conversions maybe used instead of the recommended miniature as long as the official stat card or downloaded stat card accompanies it and it is easily recognizable as such miniature.
• For the purpose of counting as having a lightsaber refer to the stat card. If the card has the Lightsaber Special Ability, a Force Power with the word “lightsaber” or the card image itself depicts a lightsaber then the figure is considered to have a lightsaber. In the case of a minature (including Recommended miniature) having a lightsaber but not meeting the above criteria then it is not counted as having a lightsaber.
But, in the case of the V-Sets, what if a Recommended Mini (like the Wookiee Scoundrel) has a ranged weapon, but the V-Set character (Wookiee Thug) does not?

The RM mini is fine, even if it still has the weapon still on. You don't have to remove Exar Kun's or Dooku's lightsabers to use them as the Recomended mini.

Yes, though really, only the lightsaber has any affect in the game. Anything else is to help avoid confusion.

Question: are teams comprised entirely of miniature proxies (ex: new player converted HeroClix to the closest approximation complete with lightsabers when necessary) tournament legal if they have the proper cards and are easily recognizable based on paint job or clear name on base?
I bring this up as a HC player wants to try the game but isn't looking forward to buying the star wars minis.

Sure, if the judge allows it.

Yep I used an incredible Hulk painted up like Mace to represent my Mace LOTLS at the PA regional and it was fine all day. Actually got tons of comments on how cool it looked.
