aww, and here I was thinking chapter house literally gave GW the finger. That would have been interesting.

Never been a fan of chapter house, not cus' they free loading someone elses IP, but cus' most of their crap is crap. e.g chapter house warlock/farseer on a jetbike - that! what the hell IS that? My conversion was 10 times better. (mm, well it was :lol: )

yeah ok, those space marine bits above aren't that terrible, but it doesn't excuse their earlier shoddy home made shoulder pads. Yuck.

Haha. :) I've had more than enough arguments on copyright issues to know there's not much point. Does that make me wise, or just apathetic?

I feel that it is important to point out that I am a complete hypocrite, justifying my own actions whilst vilifying others. I am well aware of this.

Yep, their early stuff was pretty shoddy.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, for your perusal.

Exhibit A - Forge World

Exhibit B - Chapterhouse
Image

As you can CLEARLY see, Chapterhouse's latest product is extremely far removed from any product GW or their subsidiary companies may already be making and cannot possibly infringe on any designs, copyrights or other legal mcguffins GW may hold. Incidentally, Chewbacca is a wookie and yet he lives on Endor...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

On the other hand (I´ve been following this as closely as my non legal training allows) GW has been trying to get crap past the judge like the own all rights to use chevrons, arrows, crossed arrows and even the Teutonic Cross on shoulder pads (even reportely to the rights of $40.000 :lol: ).

You might blame Chapterhouse for not being original and riding on GW´s coatails but on the other hand GW started this mess with a "All under the sun are belong to us" and when the defense asked for the documents proving it, folded and started delaying tactics.

I don't get Chapterhouse. If there stuff was a cheap knock off, sure. But it's mostly just a cheap-looking knock off.
I read a guy on another forum comparing CH to custom auto-part manufacturers. I guess they will make fenders, grilles, windows whatever for specific makes and models of cars and it's not a big copyright problem. If it's not a big deal to make a fender compatible with 64 Mustang, why not make a head compatible with a certain type of toy soldier?
...and now his Head was full of nothing but Inchantments, Quarrels, Battles, Challenges, Wounds, Complaints, Amours, and abundance of Stuff and Impossibilities.....
