Are we allowed to use GW bases on models going forward?
As someone that enjoys conversions, I think this rule is a bit strict.
Hmm, I think you're right... will have to look into how the policy would apply in the case of conversions / scratchbuilds.

Every model picture would have to be submitted with an accompanying picture of the underside of the base to prove that it is free from the taint of far-future grim darkness.
In the case of tanks or other large models, you'd need step-by-step assembly pictures and internals, just in case anyone threw a handful of GW bits inside their tanks or mixed GW sprue chunks in with their non- GW green stuff replacement in an attempt to be subversive.

I don't get it. Someone makes a good prank, and then someone else has to show how clever he's been by starting to shout " IT'S JUST APRIL FOOLS!!!". Why not wait and see how many get trolled? What are your other hobbies - going to the movies to shout spoilers?

Yea, but at least if that happened, a source would have been cited/credited.

If we want the old school GW crew, we can become a mainly Mantic forum! KoW for the fantasy section, Deadzone for the futuristic section, ork-moticons can become Orx-moticons, and we're pretty much good to go. I demand Yak change his profile to Blaine though.

Next lego, you should ban Greenstuff, Citadel Sand, and flock. They're all obviously evil AND hate Australia.
