Ah, good to know.
She'll get by with her regular staff on my model though.

Maybe the machinery is in the house so as to protect it from the elements.

Yep, you wouldn't want it to get wet and rust! 😂

You're right on that point, Rowdy Dragon. Thanks for helping me understand the context.
I guess I just don't care for the current storyline, and it doesn't 100% matter to me what they name that set of (arcane machinery) abilities on her card. If she's one of the most powerful beings in this universe, she doesn't need much justification for being able to choose from those abilities, in my mind. I want my Old Witch2 to be the powerful Khador witch we've been waiting for, so that's the way I'm building my conversion. Also, the Old Witch model I'm using has a strange steam powered engine on her back and a claw that looks mechanic and a bit arcane (mysterious, in other words). That'd be more than enough for me, if I cared more about what name they gave to the set of "arcane machinery" abilities.
Allowing us to imbue our models with our own ideas and themes through model conversions is one of the smarter things PP has done. I'm rejecting the Grymkin storyline and making a Khador OW2, not the hybrid OW2/3 that we've been given.

I started this post with questions about model conversion rules and tournament legality, and I guess this brings me full circle. Earlier, Netherby said that, despite the conversion rule's stated reason for requiring "iconic elements" in conversions is to "avoid confusion", and my conversion would probably work just fine at small tournaments at your local game store, it might not work at a high-level, PP-run tournament. There's a chance they might decide that the arcane machinery was iconic enough to require for a legal conversion. A decision like that wouldn't be in keeping with their stated reasoning in that rule- to avoid confusion- but it wouldn't completely surprise me.
In the end, absolutely no one is going to confuse my model with anything else (it's very obviously an OW2), it has more than 50% PP parts, and I'm not a high-end tournament player, so I'm ready to roll with my conversion. Actually, I'm ready to base the model, touch up the paint, and then go kick some butt with it!!

Thanks to Netherby and Rowdy Dragon for your help.
Anyone else making OW2/3 conversions?

Thanks to Netherby and Rowdy Dragon for your help. Anyone else making OW2/3 conversions? I make conversions for a bunch of stuff (Victors, Beast 09, MOW suff) but Im happy with the OW Model. Il likely have some Winter Gaurd Ride it alongside her.

That's a great idea, since a lot of us will be running it in the Winter Guard theme all the time.
