The issue does seem to get raised every single time, and while I'm not going to comment on the Mod policy, I have no problem treating any discussion of the IP ramifications of these releases as essentially flame baiting.

Between the moral outrage and the arm chair lawyering, it gets obnoxious in a hurry.

Wait... Dakka has a legal team? Do they offer free advice?

Hi folks I have accepted to sculpt crazy concepts for chapterhouse because I feel they are great chaps and aproached me in a very relaxed way.
From my experience its very fun to work with them and I feel people should enjoy what they produce and have fun with it.

I'm sculpting with some basic ideas in mind, help out chapterhouse to continue its path to provide valid alternatives to gamers/painters outhere and to have personal great fun sculpting some crazy stuff I had in my mind. Believe me its done with the heart and no one getting ritch with this work

Posters here expressed concerns about "lateral issues that do not affect them directly" I think it would be in everyone best interest to leave those issues to the parties directly involved.

Please concentrate on topic and sugest things you would like me to sculpt.

Warrior Heads in the same style , as Warriors are going to be popular.

The question I have about the warlocks is: will there be a enough variety of heads/poses to build a full 10 man squad? And I know it's early, but any idea on the price point?

Where's my Celtic shields??? You teased us with them, yet I still cant give you my money!

Yes, I can see Nav being "persuaded" to do some warrior heads as well in "predator" and "alien" format.

We are trying to do a couple heads for warlocks and farseer. If the demand is there, we may release more in the near future (heads are easier to sculpt then a whole figure). I want to say we will be in the 10-15$ neighborhood per kit.

Its molding this week

The thought of having an easy and good looking conversion for Farseer and Warlock bikes makes me tingle all over. I will definately keep my eye on this project.

As noted, Chapterhouse has responded to the question, confirming that they have engaged the services of an IP Attorney and presently understand themselves to be operating within the boundaries of the law.

Any further posts in this thread on that topic are counterproductive, and will incur disciplinary action.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

So Chapterhouse, can we expect anything Guardy soon? Maybe the odd "Classical Gate with a Skull" symbol or custom rear doors for the Chimera?

Anything expected for WHFB?

And also, will it just be a torso added to the jetbike legs, or will it be a whole figure complete with robey goodness? And please please please will it look good whichever way you decide to do it?

Buttlerthepug wrote:Anything expected for WHFB?

I dont think we will be touching WHFB for a while. The WHFB game, I dont know much about and from what I do know I dont see much need for conversion bits (there are tons of fantasy companies out there already).

Good question! I will ask my sculptor as soon as I get a chance.

The eldar are an equal opportunities employer...

i know but the dude sculpting this farseer is sculpting some boobs for the farseer ....

LOL, news to me

Anyone who wants some ideas added to the sculpt before it is finalized should send them in, we are happy to brainstorm with you all, who knows you may score a free kit if we use one.

its 2 body for the farseer.. male and female ....lest take bet witch one sells more

Fantastic stuff. I will definitely be all over the genestealer heads.

Is there any way you could make a set of arms for the Fex model that touch the ground for an ape like stance or sets of guns for shoulder mounts?

If you are looking for more xenos ideas, it would be cool to have a set of 5 or so unhelmeted Eldar heads. IIRC there are currently only 2 available (1 guardian and 1 Dire Avenger). It would be nice to have them be 3-4 male and 1 or 2 female (long hair/short hair).

You might also consider an autarch torso "kit". Right now you get either a mandiblaster or banshee mask. It would be nice to be able to use bits to make an autarch with exactly what you want.

Arms with CCW and Shuriken Pistol (if you are allowed) would be handy too. Right now we can't make storm guardians without getting a box of 6 for $35.

Being intentionally obtuse should also be a bannable offence Aggy, then we wouldn't have to suffer posts like the one I've quoted.

TBD has done more than just 'raise questions', and you know that. Stop feigning ignorance and pretending you don't.

But the Mods have said to leave it, and so I shall...

*walks away*

Amazing sculpts. I wish your company the greatest success. If I played any of the armies you currently support, I would throw money at you in exchange for little plastic men.

Well done, H.B.M.C. Attack someone and then claim the moral high ground because you're supposedly prepared to drop the issue. If you really intended to let the issue drop, you wouldn't have posted anything.

Too be determined. A personal attack because you disagree with the poster clearly violates Dakka Rule #1.

I very much look forward to the Mk I Rhino kits in the next few weeks, and can't wait to see how they look!

Pardon me if I missed it in all this mudslinging but what do you plan to sell the heads for dollar wise?

I like the Ymgarl heads and I like doing business with Neal but I really don't want to pay $3US per feeder tendril looking head.

I'd be content with $1.50; maybe $2 but that'd be tops for me. You gotta make money so I'm not trying to low ball you or set your price for you.

Revliss wrote:its 2 body for the farseer.. male and female ....lest take bet witch one sells more

Well, for some reason, female Farseers are pretty common in spinoffs and backstory (DoW had one, and there was also the Iyanden special character one whose name I can't spell). Eldar are one of the few armies that could be led by a woman and still be faithful to the backstory. So yeah, the female ones are going to sell better, all things being equal.

Well, the man is untouchable. He can do whatever he wants here and never suffer any repercussions, like a witch dancing between raindrops, never getting wet.

yeah,
I think Chapter House products shown so far have been SubPar. I await the Rhino MK1 kit to see if that changes my perception.

I think the people who have actively question chapterhouses products legality are concerned for the future of their hobby, they don't want to see anyone and everyone selling eldar and 'nids! watering down the percieved quality of the hobby as a whole and I think that is acceptable. After all Chapterhouse choose to post here on dakka, a forum heavily populated with 40k fans, to stir up interest. They have to accept that not all interest is going to be good.

Panic...

Chapterhouse,

How about making some Space Marine MK5 "Heresy" style legs? I don;t think I've ever seen them about...

This is pretty darn cool. I'm really excited to see what the Warlock/Farseer components will turn out to be like.

While i somewhat agree that "things" like this stirr up things and there will naturally be disagreements. And chapterhouse needs to accept that. (not counting the obvious trolls)
I cant fathom that their business would waters down the quality.

In my oppinion. Simply put, any custom models and conversions ritchens the hobby, whatever quality.
