Here's why:
* Official Rules: Games Workshop (GW) tournaments adhere to their official rules and guidelines, which clearly state that only officially licensed GW models can be used.
* Fair Play: Using models from other games or manufacturers can give players an unfair advantage. This could involve different sizes, weapon profiles, or even specific rules that are not intended for use in Warhammer games.
* Intellectual Property: GW strictly protects its intellectual property, and using non-official models in their tournaments is considered a breach of their copyright.
While you can use converted models for casual games, it is against the rules and unfair to use them in tournaments.
Here are some alternatives if you want to use your Infinity models:
* Join Infinity tournaments: Infinity is a popular miniature wargame with its own set of rules, tournaments, and communities.
* Use them for casual games: You can always enjoy your Infinity models by playing casual games with friends who are also interested in the game.
* Focus on converting GW models: You can still explore your creativity by converting official GW models to create unique and interesting miniatures.
Remember, following the official rules and guidelines ensures a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone involved in GW tournaments.
