What You See Is What You Get or the more aptly named WYSIWYG is a basis for the entire Games Workshop line of models. It simply states that what ever kind of war gear or weapons that the model is going to have equipped going into battle MUST be shown on the model. For example, a space marine has the usual and oft times reliable bolter as part of their standard equipment. In order for everyone who looks at the space marine to know that he has a bolter and not another type of weapon (flame thrower, rocket launcher etc.) a bolter must be physically attached to the model. Some types of war gear also must be displayed on the model when appropriate. These war gear items are displayed when Games Workshop models have provided for said war gear. Otherwise, it is up to the player to include these war gear items as imagination permits.
