Happy Holidays

Molds are done and the pads and resin kits look great! We now have 1-10 Roman Numbered Squad Pads for Assault Tactical and Devestator marines. Also a MK 1 Thunder armor pad. As well as some smooth no detail or rimmed shoulder pads.

Oh yeah, we have 2 new Rhino armor kits and the much needed Salamander Land Raider kit!

I have also dropped the prices on the rhino kits a little due to cost savings.

Check out the news!

Thanks
Nick

LOL. You are totally going to receive a large packet from the GW law offices.




Any whoo good luck with the sales while they last.

Please do not worry about us, we have our legal ducks in a row.

Keep up the good work! Some day I will find a need for some of your products.. some day..

Great job working on these kits chapterhouse, i guess to your dev't team also. Too bad i don't have a salamander's project yet but i'll consider it in the future. And to all those legal advisers and jokesters there...leave him be guys. He know's whatever he's getting into and this has been discussed to death on other threads. Making comments just for the sake of it does not help one bit but inflame an issue that again we as a community have debated, discussed, ranted and argued. He's happy to show his' products. Make a comment on quality of work or something more mature.

They look amazing glad to see all the hard work paid off. I suspect the only large packets you'll be recieving will be of orders

They look really great. I'd defnitely be ordering them up if I was doing salamanders The rhino top hatch is my favorite, the top hatches are always so plain

GW sends small packets with legal threats in 1 page, not large ones!

I'll probably order at least one of those Mk. 1 shoulder pads for a sergeant. Thanks for making these again!

Any pics of how the Roman Numeral pads look on actual models?

Can we get some more pictures of the eagle braizer thing? Like a side and top one?

and, YAY lots of stuff to order! I'm so happy these have come out!

Ill have to get some photos tonight, I was working from 8-12 getting these all on the site, ill try to get a tactical pad on a model to show the size. As well as the Brazier details.

Nick

Well, I just ordered four rhino sets and thirty shoulder pads. I'm definately chomping at the bit for my precious shiney fings!

Thanks

GAK! They found me!!

The AF just blocked your site!!

AF? I did notice the sight running a little slower probably due to traffic (great... may have to pay for more bandwidth :( ).

Any live examples on actual models? Looks cool.

Ugh, i cant post them on the site, but ill see if i can do so here, GW can legitimately be a pain in the ass with posting thier models if they want, though I think I can post my painted stuff with our products on them..

Nick

CH- Thank you for the shoulder pad bits. They're exactly what I've been interested in getting for a very long time.

I'd also appreciate a pic with the pads on a mini. If they are the same size, or close, to GW's current plastic pads, I'll be ordering a Battle Company's worth.

/kowtow

How are these for you?

No, the Heavy Flamer Sternguard isnt for sale

Oh Crap...I am going to have to start pulling the right shoulder pads off my Marines....not just my left ones...

Hey, at least they will look better compared to your opponents decals

If anyone is seriously considering buying more then 50 numbered pads, email me at nick@chapterhousestudios.com for a slight discount.

I cant configure the website to do so, but I will be happy to invoice you directly with a discount for mass quantities of numbered pads.

I may add listings for sets of 10 at 9.00$ each, but thats a hour or so of work, no fun...

Hehe, just wait till you see the batch of pre heresy looking pads I have on my desk.
I´ll be pulling some 8000 points worth of marine pads of my own minis to replace them with.
Just need to find painting help for them so if anyone feels like painting various amount of pads (read: many) for me I can give away with free CH bitz for the help
This included rank and file minis as well, I am seriously lagging in the painting department.



The new pads here are "plain" designation pads as I like to call them. That means arrows, crosses, numbers etc.
The next batch that I´m working on will be roughly the same deal, designation pads but heavily pre heresy themed AND with hi-tech stuff added on the back/inner side of the pads.

I came up with the idea when I realized my converted minis that have their hands raised (and thus exposing the inner parts of the pads) just look plain. When A mini has the arms raised I want to see exposed tech stuff on the inside of the pad rim etc.

Although this project will as usual take a helluva long time since making a dozen or two detailed pads (think the segmented rhino but in pad size) is pure murder.

Posted an update on the shield, pod armour and some other pads-on-minis in the other chapterhouse thread too, the one that is a mile long by now

Is it just me or is the website down? Keep trying to connect but not working.

Works from my laptop and ISP.

Weird. Back up now.

Would be happy to help out on your painting but might not be cost effective for you as I live in the UK...
Mick

Ah dang! Now yer selling pads 10 pads for $9! Sadness.

Will we ever see anything like white scars or bike bitz from you guys. i would really like to have my captains cowl to be as awesome as possible.

I am debating on working out a deal for a custom bike kit, but the sculptor wants ALOT for it.

I'm really curious about how you're safe as far as copyright?
The scaly stuff and unique designs are safe enough but you've clearly reproduced Salamanders iconography in your chapter symbols, surely this would be an issue?

Don't get me wrong, you're a skillful sculptor and everything looks good, but I'm really not sure how you expect to reproduce copyrighted material and not have repercussions?

I am curious too, Also I always thought marketing them as a SM chapter shoulderpad, and calling the other pieces Rhino Doors was a huge no-no.

They have consulted legally and are comfortable with how they are trading. They are producing items which compliment rather than directly copy.

I would think they are about as likely to get a C&D as PigIron for producing heads you can use on ImpG...ie safe.

see the salamanders things keeps making me want to restart my Bloodragons marine army.... but i wa splanning on flogging it :(. ah well will jsut have to wait fo rhte snake iconography instead.

Here we go again..

GW does not have ownership of the profile or shape of a dragon head, lizard head, etc. To think that is a mistake, that is like thinking Ford owns any profile or design that includes a horse. You will NOT see direct ocpies of any Icon that GW has legitimately created. By create I mean an original idea, not a rip-off of a Greek letter (the U from Ultramarines) or generic shapes like arrows or skulls. By the way GW Stole the chaos star from a writer by the name of Michael Moorcock, and we do have written permission from the creator to use the chaos star if we wish.

Space Marine is not copyright to Games Workshop, nor is Rhino Tank. They do have a trademark on Space Marine, but that is a different animal then a copyright. You are free to use trademarks as descriptors of products as long as you follow legal guidelines.

Amazing how much stuff they actually took from him for fantasy isn't it?

As for the icons that are generic looking forward to them and was thinking of suggesting since they would be combinable eg: curved stylised wings + liquid drop as an example mabe different shapes/sizes to fit scenery and tank and shoulder pads etc. Looking forward to those if the idea goes ahead.

So I really want to start a Salamanders army; would I be able to use the Chapetrhouse stuff in a tourney?

I think you really wouldnt ever run into a situation you cant use your minis.

#1 we are so small I doubt anyone would recognize our stuff

#2 isnt the rule that your models have to be GW in origin, conversions and using bits from other models does not disqualify them

Thanks, will be putting order in soon. Hopefully by weeks end.

cool beans

Sure GW doesn't have copyright over the generic concept of a dragon head. What they are sure to have copyright over is a specific looking head/image produced by their in house artist.
I guess the question is whether or not what you've produced is recognizably the same as what they've come up with.(which is the way it appears to me)

I agree, GW has appropriated all sorts of things, that's beside the point in this discussion.

Chapterhouse, I can understand if you're a bit defensive about those who ask regarding copyright, but look at it this way, many of us do it out of concern for what may happen to you and your products.

I'd suggest you create some cool generic/new and unique chapter concepts to run with, face it, there are plenty of untapped ideas out there. Keep in mind, 90% of the stuff I can see here is fine, it's the salamander chapter symbol that leaped out as something that might cause you some grief.

Can the mods please delete the copyright discussion from Chapterhouse threads in News and Rumour?

I am keen to see new product, not rehash old discussion.

Chapterhouse have said they are legally comfortable, lets please drop this, it's cluttering the thread.

*sigh* By law its GW's job to enforce their IP. If they could do anything they would have done it already. They're looking for reasons to stop Chapterhouse, but they've yet to find one. So if a guy whose job it is to stare at Chapterhouse to look for anything wrong doesn't see anything wrong why do you think you can?

Seriously, what these guys said.

Chapterhouse has been over this quite a bit to date.

Even here on Dakka!

PLEASE, they've stated they're OK.

They've stated that they actually employ a lawyer to make sure they're OK.

So, unless something else happens, let's all go with the fact that they're OK.

OK?

have you guys thought about doing similar addon kits for Dreadnoughts, Because i think Sanke themeed and Soul drinkers themed ones would go down really well (i know i'd spamm the snake oen liek there was no tommorow

Going OT for a quick sec here: Chapterhouse may want to create a page on their site explaining briefly the non-infringing nature of their work, indicate they have an attorney and are comfortable with their legal position, and then a link to that in their Dakka signature pointing to it (perhaps naming the link "Our products are legal to sell!"). I'm sure it won't completely eliminate the threadjacking of their product announcements, but it would make doing so gauche.

For those of you who just cant let the IP thing go think of it this way.....Order lots of crap before the poop hits the fan. Not that it will but hopefully that will stave off your paranoia hehe. I really am happy with what these guys are doing and Nick I am very impressed with the work. I am trying hard to figure out how to fit a bunch of the braziers into my army...maybe on my drop pods hehehe..

I think from now on, every Chapterhouse post should have a link to every GW legal question ever asked so people will shut the hell up already and let em just keep making cool stuff.

Looking forward to the pre-heresy stuff I'm thinking of revisiting my old marine army so i may invest in some pads for em

Well, at least the questions and comments are keeping the thread high.

Any publicity being...etc etc...

Yep thats what I get Network Timeouts... we are wondering if a attack is going on.

I agree with this.

Why is it every time Chapterhouse put up stuff, we have this happen?

It doesn't happen with the maxmini or reaper or any other alternate minis.

OT I love the looks of this stuff and hope to see some on the table.

Who knows... I do not think it is jealousy, I know we are not successful to that degree.

I have a question. why are you favoring salamanders so much?

Because CH is two, count them, two, guys making sculpts and molds. They did Sallies, and now Wolves, and will probably do other stuff in the future. Once they've been in business for a little while they'll have a larger selection of stuff, but for the moment Sallies and Wolves are the new hotness, and a good choice for initial sales.

Well to be honest we have a sales and product manager (me), a sculptor, a 3d design artist, and a 3d concept artist.

The whole salamander fetish originates back to when we were doing this just for ourselves, we liked salamanders but there was nothign for them beyond some FW doors and Terminator pads. We still have 1-2 things we want to flesh out on the salamanders, Dreadnought/Land Speeder/Bikes.

Space Wolves are the hot thing right now, so we are trying to take advantage of the popularity and cater to those players.

We also decided to do those lesser known chapters - Iron Snakes, Soul Drinkers, Deathwatch because we knew gamers liked them but didnt want to build armies around them due to no bits to use. We try to think of what you guys want, rather then what we want with the exception of the Salamander stuff (still our favorite chapter).

We will be releasing a line of "Heresy" era bits soon, this is another high-demand item that for some reason GW doesnt seem to do. You have seen the MK I pad, the Armored Rhino kit, and soon we will have a MK I Rhino kit (from the ooollldd GW models, will convert the new rhino to MK I) as well as terminator and other bits to make heresy troops.

Nick

Yes we are two, the core that is.
From my personal perspective we did/do sallie addon stuff because I L O V E my salamanders, tehir background and everything about them and I wanted a cusomised army and couldnt get stuff for it anywhere else.
The second part of the reason was that some of my friends online are playing salamanders and I also wanted them to get the stuff I did. Then it got a bit more serious then just my own army but my love for them still remains.
Here are some samples of my personal minis:

The wolf themed bitz on my part come from the fact my gf plays space wolves herself and wants a special and customized army (and I want to borrow it to on occasion), hence my sculpting on wolf stuff. The other reason is the new SW codex so why cant I kill two flies in one hit

A friend of mine has been nagging about soul drinkers stuff for ages and that was why I originally started to sculpt chalice bitz but this too expanded out to CH.

Love those terminators. You guys thought about maybe doing a range of bases as well as the lava ones they're on look amazing and I've seen a few people trying to do the effects on bases and make lava theme boards.

Try not.

Try someone who works in an industry where IP is called into question all the time (Animation) and has a little experience and concern.

Sure fine, stop the IP questioning posts. I believe I was supportive/curious not attacking or insulting.

I've lurked on Dakka for ages and rarely pipe up(obviously) due to a busy life outside the hobby. Does that makes me a less legitimate contributor in some way?

If it makes you happy I could post my Demiurg concept art?

Sorry, now I really am hijacking the thread.

Back on topic, buy heaps of these awesome vehicle add ons, the sculpting is great!

Chapterhouse wrote:Yeah funny story, our host had blocked my IP... fun stuff

If you keep refreshing - a site - the site will think YOU are attacking your own site.

Same goes with any other site.

The webhost server will ip ban you - as repeated refreshing will be seen as a 'ping' attack.


Its annoying.

You'll find... users will be ip banned from your site - for no apparent reason.

Nothing personal intended, just always happens with Chapterhouse and not anyone else. To top it off, CH has a few known enemies (aka stupid people). In one thread they had a guy who just joined and his first post was questioning their IP rights (and the username was a generic male first name with numbers after). Who registers on a site just to do that? You have proven your non-spy-ness, sir! Move along

RogueMarket wrote:

Like on Bolter and Chainsword...?

To be fair - Brother Argos banned my account name, not my IP (I still have an account to view with, I dare not say anything on that board for fear on insta-banning).

We still have 1-2 things we want to flesh out on the salamanders, Dreadnought/Land Speeder/Bikes.

Should I take that to mean that negotiations for certain speeder and bike conversion pieces went well?

I never heard back from the sculptor, and he was wanting a big chunk of change for the rights to produce.. so..

Ah well. It was worth a go.

Great stuff, hopefully I'll find some incentive to purchase a couple of your add on kits, love the rhino armor especially! Forces me to buy a GW rhino, which is a win for everybody eh? Do you happen to have any pics of the armor on a rhino, or any links you can direct me to if you can't post them here? Keep up the good work.

Working on having the pictures up soon, I sent the new products to the studio painter, should have some up soon.

Thanks
If I get time over I´ll sit down and figure out how/where I am supposed to post pics at since I have a lot of stuff to show and help people with.
I´m really into the "art" side of this hobby, its at least as fun as the gaming.

Definitely interested in the Salamander Land Raider kit, but would love to see a version for the Redeemer (which seems to have been made just for Salamanders!) Otherwise, a third of the kit goes to waste for me :-(

It's not that i want to piss in your pool, but the very nature of your business does bring up questions about legal maters.

People have questions and since you are posting in a public discussion forum, you're just gonna have to deal with these questions comming up, wether they be sincere or not.

I dont think it was dealing with the questions... but the fact they come up in EVERY discussion, sometimes multiple times... I could be wrong though...

Yep if you have questions look at the older post, they have been answered repeatedly.

Precisely.
Chapterhouse shouldn't have to deal with the constant whining and nagging, and the rest of us (who've done the reading) shouldn't have to deal with the annoyance of people who didn't bother to do their research before flapping their gums.

Eric

They sure as hell have to deal with legit questions, otherwise they are free not to post in a public forum.

I'm just saying, when you advertise your product like this you have to expect questions, in every thread.

We have dealt with them, numerous times and to the point that many folks in Dakka now probably have a pretty good understanding of the IP legal laws in a couple of countries .

As a customer though, what is your concern? I do not think GW can hurt you as a customer and any legal issues between ourselves and GW are just that, between our two companies?

As a customer, are you invested in GWs legal concerns say with another artist who they may have stolen ideas from? Is there emails being sent to them (send emails to them regarding one, Michael Moorcock -google him)? It just seems that people are not so much concerned about whether the products are legal rather then the drama involved (which there is none..).

Great stuff, love that there are companies providing accessories. As for the whole repeated copyright discussion; perhaps a disclaimer you can copy and paste in your OP's would help proactively prevent the broken record effect. This hobby sort of attracts rules lawyers and that kind of mindset probably lends itself towards this issue; not to mention that copyrighting and issues sort of relating to it have been heated topics in the past.

They sure as hell have to deal with legit questions, otherwise they are free not to post in a public forum.

Ok. So, what are your questions that seem to bother you so much?

Or are you simply advocating for peoples rights to constantly keep asking legal questions and including personal opinions on legal matters to be pointed out in each and every chapterhouse thread?
Sure and I agree, there is nothing prohibiting anyone from asking questions about legality etc but then there is also an annoyance factor to consider and that is something that can be easily circumvented by the search function coupled with a minuscale usage of forethought before jumping into threads typing in the exact same things that numerous persons before have already done.

The perfect analogue to your point could very well be me and my friends following you into every single post you make or figure in and keep asking you about your country and city of origin simply because I see a Swedish flag alongside your cognomen, and to keep doing so despite others as well as yourself already on numerous accounts, having clarified said questions.
Nothing would prohibit me or others from doing so and I could very well claim you can "sue yourself" since YOU post in a forum you can expect questions regarding YOURself but alas, the annoyance factor combined with a complete disregard for the search function, would make such a prospect least to say, aggravating.

Great googily moogily those look awesome. Now if there were only examples of paintjobs on my much lesser level of talent

Maybe I should do some army posts in painting soon.
I´m thinking about taking pics of my next painting project and have it as a kind of tutorial.

WOW! Should maybe put those pics on your store to show how certain bits look on the minis. Those storm shields are nice and should be pictured with terminators. They are actually bigger than I thought and will be grabbing some soon. The new novel and your products have inspired me to start my own Salamander army. Thxs.

We are still trying to puzzle out if it is legal to show GW models. According to some IP laws you really shouldnt show another companies models, but then again you are free to show them whenever you want to sell "that" model.

I think we would be ok, but I rather not tempt fate...

Well people do show their painted GW stuff and Im sure plenty of them have non GW stuff on them... but I suppose thats kinda different since your trying to sell non GW stuff for GW stuff eh? I don't know anything about legal stuffs so Im not sure if its cool or not (but IMO your helping GW... peoples liek your stuff they got to buy GW stuff right?)

Well, you need to direct that to Nick as for some reason he is adamant we show other painted things in (if we ever show any) showcasing rather then mine.
Dunno why though, to me logic dictates that quality of the painted stuff ought to weight more about what is being showcased rather then who does it but maybe I´m missing something.

While I disagree with your wording (they don't HAVE to expect it), I agree with your point. They SHOULD expect it. Also, since it's a public forum, those people are free to post their questions.

On the flipside, the rest of us on this (public) forum are free to post OUR opinions, questions and comments on the posts that those uninformed people make, referring them to one of the numerous other threads where it's been discussed to death.
It works both ways, don't forget.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what measurements the rulers are in on AC's site? Inches, Millimeters, or other?

How about a link to blogs about your armies or something where it just happens to show your stuff? But if thats still a bit iffy probably play safe, wouldn't put it past GW to do something since it seems more and more they're just out for the money and casualties be damned.

Or, first person to get their stuff on and painted - post it in the Dakka gallery. I will for sure, but it's going to be happening until January or so.
