yeah,

@ Asmith:
the difference is clear they allow conversions for stuff that they havn't got around to.

You can scratch build if there is no basis available to start with. they accept there is no basis for you to work off.
for example a WarLord Titan or Ork Stompa.

If i wanted to make Iyanna Arienal (a eldar character). I should start with a GW model, there are many available.

I Can buy a eldar guardian a warlock and a dark reaper and kit bash a character..
I Can also buy a eldar guardian and scratch build details ontop with GS eldar devices and charateristic eldar GS armour to create her.

I can not make resin copies of a guardian a warlock and a dark reaper and kit bash a character..
I can not make a resin copy of a Guardian and scratch build details ontop with GS eldar devices and charateristic GS armour to create her.
I can not start from scratch build from scratch a eldar character this is a total violation of their IP and is unreasonable since they have many eldar models on the market.

When it comes to small items you can make your own swords etc generic. you can not make Bolters they are GWIP.

The OP could have converted a Heavy weapons Arm made a mould of that Slann heavy weapon carring arm, and cast those.
Bought GW Slann models on eBay and Bought GW heavy weapons and converted a batch of Slann Heavy Weapon troopers.
But he copied whole models and thats stealing.

Ok

People know when they are doing wrong, when they are saving money, they just wanna see what they can squeeze for free...
And I think thats pretty gakky that they are willingly hurting the Hobby they claim to love.

Same thing as with people who pirate Games Music and Movies. your stealing. Your hurting the designers, artists , directors and actors.
I have a Friends in a band who released their own Album, they have printed 1000 copies and are struggling to sell those. and theres a dude on ebay selling copies of it undercutting the retail price!

Topware a PC Game company in the papers the other day who released a 3D Pinball game, the sold something like 800 copies, but could see that more than thousands of people downloaded their game for free from a download site like Pirate bay! Now If that games company folds due to lack of sales who is to blame?
from a online article:
Roger Billens, a partner at Davenport Lyons, said: “Our clients were incensed by the level of illegal downloading. In the first 14 days since Topware Interactive released Dream Pinball 3D it sold 800 legitimate copies but was illegally downloaded 12,000 times. Hopefully people will think twice if they risk being taken to court.”
they took one woman to court and she was fined £16,000 in damages for suppling it to a upload site. they have 500 more cases to push and i hope they fine everyone who uses these sites. scumbags.

Same thing with Army Builder from Lone Wolf, If they fold, I'll blame all those who share this program with their friends for free...

You crap out rainbows?

It sounds like the CD thing is a way they're trying to make CDs more attractive than
tape dubs off the radio, but I imagine the offer is made in tiny tiny print.

yeah,
I'm planning on casting my own Cities of death tiles, I Like lots of the ones GW have that they don't sell.
such as the ones in the Black templar codex page 62.

What's you thoughts on this idea...

Personnelly i sound like a hypocite but, i don't see the point in buying COD tile to remove all detail from them so i end up with grey retangles of plastic. then making my own detail...

If they turned out to be good what would the legal issue be on selling my own City of War tiles...

PAnic..
