Humor aside I would be a little dissapointed if I entered a tournament and had to face that army. Just isn't warhammer.
It's like somone showing up with perfectly pianted pine cones and saying it's a camoflaged wood elf army.
heck even an all metallic arme would be better IMHO.
As GW actually say - the hobby is what you make of it! 
There are different standards of tournaments here, eg ones where only explicitly GW figures are allowed. So I guess if this sort of thing bothered you that's not a problem, you just wouldn't enter such a tournament. Still 24 people entered so popular enough for one of the smaller local tournis. It's more relaxed and such individual creativity tends to be appreciated. Many of us have been around for many years, and the same old warhammer armies can get a bit dull.
Also technically the warhammer background is such a hodgepodge of so many different background sources, and so changeable, that almost any weirdness is fine by me. Remember you even used to be able to get 40k weapons in Fantasy as chaos gifts, consider lists from citadel journal and white dwarf like zombie pirates and dinosaurs, or steam tanks, gyrocopters, clockwork horses etc. I mean really the background is just a big mishmash of strangeness that makes no real sense...
Note my own army is mainly empire figures (though with lots of conversions), just because I didn't want to do yet another barbarian clone army. Back in the day, Chaos cults in the empire was what the Chaos fluff was all about, so that's what I based my army around. Plus I wanted to use lots of crazed villagers
As for bare metal figures, absolutely no way! 
Might as well use counters in my opinion.
