You can model the shield on there, and it doesn't violate WYSIWYG at all, actually. All that you need do is, again, inform your opponent that the model doesn't carry the combat shield wargear, you just thought it looked cool. As long as you and he can remember that, it's fine..

WYIWYG is more pertaining to the fact that I can't really model the guy with two bolt pistols and claim one is a storm shield, etc... IT means the bits on the model must accurately (in most regards) portray/represent the wargear.
I'd go bolter on the dev sarge. If the Devs are in CC, a lot more is wrong in the game, and a bolt pistol really won't help ya at that point.
Again, my first comments weren't harsh. They were just being completely honest and critical. A lot of times on a lot of forums, you never really see a true dressing down or a critique. So, I strive to be that way, and find at least 2-3 things wrong for any lists, models, etc... even if I personally love the object in question, i'll still try to find something to bring up. I just think it helps to know as much as ya can.
