Methinks that would be unwise at this time.

Oh God.....Here we go....yet another news thread devolving into a 'are you guys really legal?' one?

Please prove me wrong and don't go down that route Dakkaites.

Like it or not Ketara, he has a solid point.

GW owns Spartan now too!? **** someone should tell the Greeks, maybe they'll take to the streets and riot again...

And the "I-Am-Completely-Missing-The-Point" Award goes too........

Interesting heads. Quick tip: say "Compatible with 28mm models" rather than "Compatible with Space Marines". Less trouble that way and it means the same thing anyway.

Would only suit personally-made chapters though.

I'm liking this, but I can't imagine what it could be. The only thing "missing" from the range would be Jetbike-HQ, and y'all already have those.

Naysayers be damned, I love Chapterhouse for supporting my beloved Eldar and Tyranids. With Forge World's release of new stuff as well, this will be a happy Year of the Eldar for me even with no Codex.

You? It doubles as the "Failure to recognize facetiousness" award to save on costs...like when GW drops stores to single employees to save on payroll...to pay their legal fees.

Also, side pics look fantastic.

And not because, say, their retail stores are doing so poorly they're having to close them left and right.

And on topic, for some reason I like the idea of using these heads with Noise Marines. I don't know why I do, but they just seem like they'd be great for them.

Yes, cause the internet works wonders for conveying sarcasm, no?

Lulz

You have a deal with the heads/ shoulder pads combination?

Great looking helmets.

That's the tragedy of the internet. Too many entitled children being very, very serious about how horrible GW is that I just roll my eyes immediately and assume "oh boy, another entitled child".

But seriously, the last thing I'd do if a company was taking legal action against me over use of their IP would be to associate anything I did with any aspect of said IP, especially not the most popular and recognizable bit of intellectual property the company owns.

God I love Chapterhouse's work, I'm still looking forward to these and to their continued work regardless of whatever GW has to say.

Indeed.

Can the wannabe-armchair-lawyers please leave the thread and stop cluttering it with their ill-informed opinions on the legal system?

Back on topic, your painting is great, but you can hire this guy to paint your stuff:
http://www.studiogiraldez.blogspot.com/
His resume includes Corvus Belli (Infinity), Fantasy Flight, Sphere Wars, and can even make Privateer Press's ugly cartoony sculpts look great.

Nice work, Chapterhouse.

Honestly I think they might look even better tho if one cuts the horsehair crests off, leaving th metal part of the crest. Would look pretty great on preheresy figs that way.

Was this troll really needed?

To be fair they're getting better but a lot of the line still suffers from being a bit ugly and cartoony. That said some of the newer sculpts have almost gotten me into WarmaHordes.

Facetiousness and sarcasm are not the same thing. I'd say it was obvious but that's redundant.

At what point has anyone made any comments about legality?

there have been people stating their opinions on the wisdom of associating the heads with SMs, given the aforementioned court case, and that is all.

On Topic: I quite like these, I reckon that they would work quite well in a pre-heresy UM army.

lookin gr8 !

Not bad a cool idea...... remind me of transformers for some reason.

Heads look great CHS, really nice work Thomas!

Whaty gets me about this thread is the breathe taking arrogence of some people. HELLO {raps forehead with knuckles} they have IP lawyers representing them. Don't you think they would have taken their advice before posting this in the middle of a potential company killer of a law suit. It is his livlihood after all. Might be indicative of how much they think they will win. To all of you who say "I would advise ....." your advice is worth squat and you look stupid offerring it

Anyhoo like the models not quite my thing, but I do like them.am getting quite tempted with a few things.

Wow, these are nice. I think I buy a couple sets for a small Ultramarine force.

My thoughts exactly Sersi, power armoured romans with big square storm shields and power gladii (and crests!)

Yeah because the previous said they where fine and free from legal prosecution oh wait a mi......................

I'd take your own advice personally.

Agree.

Seriously... HELLO {raps forehead with knuckles} GW also has a world-class IP lawyer representing them too. So to all of you who say "Continue to poke the bear, they gonna win a lawyer said so..." your advice is also worth squat and you look <insert insult here> offering it.

Here's some additional advice, from Dakka Dakka to all potential posters in this thread:

LEAVE the legal discussion OUT of it.

really cool heads..

I like 'em - probably use them for a command squad or Sternguard squad, were I to do a marine army.

Amesome, news Nick.

I have been waiting on these for my deathwatch Sternguard.

Chapterhouse continues to amaze me with the quality of the sculpts that they produce. I have a feeling that this is going to be a great year for all kinds of new kits.

hm, i might have to get quite a few of these heads for certain projects
