Under fire
Added 2021-08-24 11:54:11 +0000 UTCHello everyone. That day has come, after all someone (we roughly know who) threw a strike on my page on patreon now it is blocked. A letter to support has been sent, let's see what they have to say. And what the result of this whole story will be. Most likely, it will be disappointing. Yes, my miniatures have a visual resemblance to GW products, but if you look at it, there is no direct borrowing. The armor and weapons is similar, but made differently, there are no chaptee marks that are under copyright on the soldiers. Well, if they not count as such a Maltese cross or a skull. I'm not even talking about generic infantry like the Desert Hawks. In general, the news is disappointing, I don't know what to do next. And if everything is more or less clear with the infantry (I'll go to myminifactory and cults with them), then there will be problems with an alternative to space marines, as far as I know they are banned there too. Judging by the story with DuncanShadow and his Eldar titan, everything is very strict and totalitarian there too. Perhaps it makes sense to create a website and sell STL models already there, but this takes time. On the other hand, I want to once again thank my patrons and just the people who supported me and my work. Regardless of how it ends - thank you very much. Hold the line! :) And I send my ardent greetings to GW. There are from a man who has led Bretons, Black Templars and Abaddon's Black Legion into battle for almost 20 years, and who has brought GW a gigantic mountain of money over the years.

2021-08-30 08:30:56 +0000 UTCThat sucks, but honestly it really is worth avoiding anything that even remotely looks like a Spesh Marne. Tbh the market is pretty full of these guys already. I'm already enjoying the look of the Desert Hawks more too personally.

2021-08-26 08:34:53 +0000 UTCWhere can we follow you if patreon gets taken down? Do you have a facebook group or do you have our email adresses for a mailing list or something? Would hate to miss out on your future amazing work because i cant find you...
Alexander
2021-08-26 07:58:50 +0000 UTCYou know, I just had a thought: what if you took all this stuff over to (0nly_Fans)? Are GW employees even allowed to look at that site on work computers?

2021-08-26 07:58:18 +0000 UTCIt might be preferable to release SMs on discord or somewhere as a gift or so. Need to think.

2021-08-25 14:22:46 +0000 UTCWhat exactly makes a Space Marine a Space Marine in the eyes of A: GW and B: a real legal authority. It's a shame they get through with stuff like this just by having more money for lawyers - no blame in you there for complying with their claims, I'd do the same

2021-08-25 13:44:37 +0000 UTCYeah. DMCA claim from GW. They want me to delete all SM-like heroes and units. I'll make a post on the situation tomorrow.

2021-08-25 05:09:30 +0000 UTCHeya! I have massive commentary on this subject matter and GW but I will try to keep it simple... Their 'tactics' as of late are disgraceful. I personally have completely boycotted/abandoned them due to recent behaviors. You can have 10 times more fun on OnePageRules and proxies and not give into their Black Hole of Greediness. You do great work, keep it up!!! PLEASE!!! I will tell you that GW's trademark is EU only, it doesn't apply to US. They are trying to claim 'Space Marine' which was actually coined in 1932 literature (Heinlein/E. E. Smith). They see the writing on the wall with 3D printing, etc. They are trying to establish a stranglehold on tabletop, it's not theirs to do... W.W.J.R.R.T.D.???? What Would J. R. R. Tolkien Do? Grand Master is likely rolling in his grave and GW has no right and should be ashamed.

2021-08-24 21:51:10 +0000 UTCI really like your stuff. Just fyi, another creator of STL files on here got the same strike and was out for a little over 2 weeks before his page was reinstated. GW can wave their ban hammer around all they like but they don't want a repeat of Chapter House. Keep the faith brother, you haven't crossed any lines.
Steven Remington
2021-08-24 20:53:48 +0000 UTCGW is using up every last bit of good will left in this customer of 23 years by now. If someone wants to add an awesome looking alternative sculpt to my Space Wolves army he started collecting in 3rd edition, spent a small fortune on, paraded and demoed the game with to dozens of people over the years. You let him print out that fucking mini cause you sure as hell won't be putting out any new ones for us... Seriously, need a break from GW. Getting back to Battletech and Infinity after this shit

2021-08-24 15:44:39 +0000 UTCYou might want to hurry up with the discord (getting one set up is really fast and easy ;-)) as these posts are somehow still visible on mobile, but not on the desktop anymore... 🤷🏼 And damn! Good luck! You definately one of my favorite modelers by far 👍
