I woudln't blame them for 'leaking' stuff. It keeps up their strong look, as they've kept it all under their hats for so long. And yet lets people go "Ooh the new Dark Eldar look interesting, I'm going to pay more attention to what's going on now."

Not that everyone wasn't paying attention anyway ofcourse =p

must re...sist hobby.....horse!

The only way to deal with this is by pre-ordering a the codex and a box of warriors. Then, no matter how many lists you write, swear not to buy another box until the first one is completely painted and assembled.

And how often does that work?

Judging by the enormous pile of unpainted minis on my desk... exactly never!

Never ever!

*looks at box of unassembled Tactical Marines with a Deathwatch upgrade kit and Green Stuff duct taped to it*.

I mean, it works sometimes I guess...

It never works . . . neither will me saying . . . "I've already got 3000 points . . . I don't need much more . . . "

Another 3000 points down the line and I'll still not be happy

I think he was talking about the early pre-orders.

Which reminds me, I need to pre-order this. :( When are pre-orders up?

Yeah, this worked for me re: new SW. Poor little guys still have the shrink wrap on. But on the plus side, I haven't bought any more of them since. The FW vendread sorely tempts me to . . . NO! NO! The power of the Emperor compells you! Just breathe, just breathe . . .

Right, well, my point is that you have to exercise a little self control by excerising a little self-indulgence.

Plus, there's always the possibility that the line will be fugly.

they will be available for pre order from 13th of october I think I read somewhere.

Should be in the first week of next month, if they don't do it right after GDUK.

My question would be how can you preorder before you see the codex??!!?! That is how I will resist....I hope....

But then the Codex comes out, the models come out, and you MUST buy!!!

That's why you just get a box of warriors. And maybe a raider.

And the Warriors and Raiders are what I'm most eager to see.

On Warseer they're white knighting Jes to a ridiculous extent on this. They've actually tracked the guy's iPhone to somewhere in France and want to call the police on him.

"Officer, this guy took pictures of tiny plastic spacemen! Arrest him!"

Considering the whole point of them having shut down the rumor/preview department was because of people leaking photos of Jes' models...

Doing it again is going to bring in a whole new age of paranoia.

altough it's funny, let's stay on topic here. don't want this thread to be closed too.

Link it, bro. (This is exactly why Dakka rules.) Also, I wonder if the "leak" will be mentioned by Jes on GD.

Call the police and have him charged with... what exactly?

Unless he stole the codex, he didn't break any laws.

If he's employed by GW, he probably signed a nondisclosure agreement of some sort, and may lose his job, but certainly won't be arrested for it.

Given that he got a photo of the French codex(apparently), it's more likely that he's employed by a translation agency.

In which case, aside from breaking a nondisclosure agreement, he also published copywritten material without permission.

So yeah. Depending on where, it's possible he'll be arrested.

Wait, what's going on?

Jes - a GW employee - is allegedly leaking pictures of his own sculpts? Less than a week ahead of schedule?

And we care why?

Goodwin wouldn't leak 'em. He prefers to show the stuff off in person, not on the Internet.

He was furious when the Eldar Harlequins were leaked, and that wasn't something he'd worked almost 12 years on.

I honestly have no idea how French copyright laws work, but I do know that different countries' copyright laws interacting often causes legal snarls so ridiculous that no one is ever prosecuted.

We can probably agree, however, that none of this will affect the release this weekend, right?

Maybe.

Depends on how pissed off Jes Goodwin is.

From what I have been able to research online, very few countries have copyright laws so stringent that merely posting a single picture from a single page of a document like White Dwarf Magazine would be sufficient for criminal action including arrest and jail time. It might quite well qualify for civil action, though, including fines and/or damages.

From a magazine is different than an army book, so...

It won't affect (not effect) the release and I already stated why. As for Jes Goodwin being angry, maybe so, but he's not the marketing department and they've already determined the release schedule, printed the promotions and the White Dwarf, etc. Again, it's too late for an all out change to this release. If the Codex is due out in November it's been printed already too. Warhammer stories, models and rules play out a fantasy, selling models and books is a business and it doesn't run on magic, hand gestures or whimsical last minute changes.

Someone on warseer e-stalked the guy who took the phone picture of the incubi with the intent of getting him arrested, and you guys start talking about copyright law. I think your missing the point.......

I think I'm confused. Why do we care who took the picture?

God bless 'em.
