The way I've played with customs, in the instance of an arm or body part stretching beyond the base is that the body part must remain behind the LOS, even if that means the base and fig are back 4 yards off the line.
It's touchy, some tournaments offer an 'anything goes' style of play, within reason, there is always a weight limit. But they'll approve the use of custom men, all kinds of bases, etc. Whereas other tournaments have specific guidelines, whether it be for the singular promotion of product or to simply level the playing field in hopes that a newbie will compete along with a seasoned champ.
I've been working to have a full squad O & D, Home and Away, stock-poses, and unaltered, for universal play, so I can get down anywhere. And other squads that are mixed up, with customs, for an all-time, anywhere resource-bag of get-down tricks!
Hope this offers you a little insight.
