Well fine and dandy. You can get around the law.

It doesn't change the fact that all you're doing is selling a "slightly different Rhino door!"

If it were like the "Salamander or Dragon Marines" Drop Pod doors you guys have?
Well awesome.

But looking through your whole catalog, there's hardly any original ideas in it.

It's mostly the EXACT same stuff that Forge World sells, just from a US vendor. Whoopity doo.

Thanks for your comments, please dont order from our site if you think its all copies. Good day.

Actually, I am working on a law enforcement degree as it stands, and then moving on to major in forensics afterwards.

Does not equal an international law degree....by any means at all.

Back on topic:

What would be the reason for the doors in this instance? If they are just plain doors how similar are they to the standard ones?

Personally I like variety on my models. So I may put the naked ones on the website for people to use for variety.

The main reason we designed the new doors is we wanted something new with lots of surface area to sculpt on. These are "canvasses" if you will, for future stylized accessory kits for the tanks.

Luckily Dakka isnt owned by GW like Warseer and BnC (they delete any fan post about our site, chapterhouse studios is a bad word on those forums).

Where we believe in Chapterhouse enough to give them their own Advertiser's Subforum:
http://www.bartertown.com/trading/viewforum.php?f=78

An Admin at Bartertown has a professional background that gives him access to very specialized legal advice.
He checked with the lawyers and Bartertown determined, based on their input, that Chapterhouse violates NO IP laws.

Anyone who knows about BTown knows that we're very sensitive about breaking laws or even pushing their boundaries.
If we thought it was REMOTELY fishy, Chapterhouse would not be allowed to advertise.

Check them out. They do GREAT work!
...and they have our FULL support.

so if i "invent" a nonstandard door frame size and sell doors that fit it, i can sue anyone else that makes a door that *gasp* fits in my frame!!??!! now i can finally retire at 30! gw did not invent the tank, scale models, or anything in the hobby for that matter. they came up with some interesting designs to which chapterhouse is adding to. he's sculpting stuff from scratch without using existing models. if you don't like what he's doing, save your breath and simply DON'T ORDER FROM HIM.

lol, you sound like fez from that 70's show!

No you can't.

You can't copyright designs which are too generic to have any originality. A doorframe is just a rectangle, the dimensions don't matter.

If you designed a doorframe and door in the shape of a topless woman wearing a tricorn hat and knee breeches, carrying a cricket bat and ball, you would have created a new work of art from non-copyright elements, and it would belong to you.

and yet someone else would be totally in their element to design a door that fit in the frame with a man wearing a bowler hat and lederhosen ready swing a baseball bat and i couldn't do anything about that.

If GW didn't have US presence, one could see how GW might sue in the UK, especially, if they got a shell buyer to have the stuff shipped to a UK address.

But having a US presence, but then demanding UK venue would appear to be a clear violation of normal process, and a transparent abuse to . At that point, the US party can probably get a US local judge to issue an injunction of some sort to bring things back to sanity.

Yes, that's the way it works.

Aside from the vendor's rudeness and arrogance, the main reason I won't get any of these bits?

They're not very good.

Chapterhouse, I love your salamanders parts and i will defo be using them in my up and coming army, just wondering if you will be making and dreadnought bits, landraider bits or vindicator parts?

keep up the good work

Wow, I didnt realize defending ones self from bad legal advice and agression and letting people know the real legal rules was rudeness and arrogance.

Sorry guys if I was in any way rude or arrogant

We are definetely wanting to get some designed, we just have one sculptor at this time, but they are on our wishlist.

Thanks!

i never said i didn't like the bits or that i didn't think you shoudl be able to produce them.

I personally quite like them, especially if i can use them as adding some flavoru to my arbites rhinos to distringuish them from Marine ones.

I was just pointing out what htye have done in the past.

Also i was wodnering if htere was any plans for more shoudler pads with snakes on, maybe have them so the snake looks like its coiled and the head is facing the top of the pad?

oh yes is there any news on the rhino parts?

one more thing i relaly like the salamnders doors, if i was tilld oign my Blood Dragons marine Army i'd definetly aquire them

Let's assume the rudeness never happened and concentrate on the resin bits we would like to see Chapter House produce.

I would be interested in plain Rhino doors as I have six M113 personnel carriers to convert to Rhinos.

Chapterhouse wrote:I was always under the impression noone liked the old rhinos... simple enough job to do, have to look into that.

A lot of gamers like the old Rhinos, it's the scale of the old one that puts people like me off from using them. If you made the round side hatch set I'd buy at least 10 sets to go with my heresy era Space Wolves. I'd also pimp them everywhere I post even if it had to be by PMing that you are the source.

LOL, well, what else would people want besides a round hatch that fits over the square side door? Same old front?

The old school front would be sweet. And definitely worth picking up. I have got 6 Rhinos kicking around, and I was thinking of things to make them different. Maybe even some filler like the old school sides, the little shapes with mesh in them?


Maybe not Chapter Specific Doors, but Rhino roof doors with Tactical and Devastator Markings? As well as some little resin versions of the transfers for like company color and what not.

We can do all sorts of things with the newly designed door templates, so Arrows are easily done once the time is made to do them. Good ideas, keep them rolling.

Well, I'd like stowage, extra armor (although far less than I used to, natch), and cool stuff for inquisitorial rhinos. My marines use the old stuff, and it's all painted already, but I want to build some inquisitorial rhinos for my stormtroopers (since there's no sense using them in my IG).

oh, and cheap hatch covers, so people can use them with the cheap rhinos from the War store!

Up to 2 units of DH (and WH) Storms can still be allied to IG forces, at least, until both Codices are redone.

A new middle section for the Leman russ would be nice. One that more accurately represents real life tank dimensions.

not an IG player..

Chapterhouse wrote:LOL, well, what else would people want besides a round hatch that fits over the square side door? Same old front?

Both of the old front panels would be great too.

Now I just have to find out if using a similiar but larger design for the new Rhino would be ok. I think it will since it will be on a new panel, and they are basically 2 rectangle armored panels and thats it.

If you guys are looking for ideas outside the realm of doors and hatches, I might suggest that there's never been a Salamanders Dreadnought from FW yet. An up-armoring kit for one might be appropriate.

That is a wish list item for me, so its getting precedent

Please stop telling companies what they can and cant do.

I guess aftermarket car part companies should also stop making Mustang headlights that "fit on mustangs" as well!

Aftermarket car part companies huh. Now you're reaching pretty hard for justification for what you're doing.
Do you know how many different cars various styles of headlights can fit?

Still on the drawing board, its more of a problem of not enough sculptors for ideas, i am in the process of finding more sculpting help.

I think the only ork thing we thought about doing for sure was more 'Eavy armor style bits.

The only thing that is putting me off starting my sallies is the fact im scared too incase your bring out the land raider kit right after i paint mine up!
