For me, counts as is alright in small doses (assuming you have a fair idea of what it's intended to be). For an extreme example, I played a guy years ago where nothing in his army was a GW fig, in fact, he used Roman legion and auxiliary models and it was: "Okay, tell me again, was the scorpio the helblaster or was the ballista? So, what'a the onager, is that a cannon or a mortar? What about the cataphracts--those were knights, right? Oh, demigryphs."
