Thieving torrent downloads, stealing models from the shops. no difference, the point is, i couldn't give a toss about GW in the same way they don't give a toss about us. i own £3000 of models and only payed £1000 for them. its natural for people to be this way, its in nature and its in human nature. have a look on the youtube link above. its wrong, i love it i don't care, and i have a huge cabinet full of models and codexs that make me warm inside.
if someone told me they had to pdf the codex i would give them a high five.

I doubt you love it as much as you say.

After all; you obviously haven't worked to acquire 2/3s of your miniatures and obviously cannot be ranked on the same scale as someone who has.
It's one hell of an ethics quandry, but I'll go ahead and say it.

What kind of man-child makes 48k and still feels the need to steal plastics to pump their ego.

I think you probably feel a bit empty; but who am I to sort the internet egos from the real ones?

ME! i feel the need to steal from GW as they are the biggest con artists in the wargaming industry. A helldrake costs £45 for two sprues.... Rip off!!! i see it more as a robin hood tactic than a pumping of my ego. i steal from the rich and give to the poor/me. i Do feel very empty inside as i still havent ventured into ripping off forgeworld yet. Also i own no Fantasy armies yet but hey time is on my side im still only 26 years young. and yes Rustjob i love it more than you know and i wasnt aware i could be ranked on such a theme.

You, poor?


Wot a larf. Try living on 14-15k a year. Then you get to call yourself poor.

Right now, you're stealing from the poor Minimum wage Retailers, who get to take the fall when things go missing and giving to the rich. The Poverty line for a parent looking after two children is approx £18k, so you're pretty damn well off with your 48k (which I suspect is not realistic anyhow.)

Your robin hood analogy is more full of holes than your swiss-cheese morality.

Gotta agree with this. A pirated PDF is one thing. May not be fully moral, but it's not the same level of sheer clodiness (Yes I made that up) as stealing models from the local GW. There are retail-level staff who have nothing to do with the corporation other than the name running those stores, and when things go missing, it's on their heads. And I think we've heard before that GW is NOT forgiving with stores that don't produce the best numbers.

If you're stealing models from a FLGS, that's downright despicable. That's a person's personal business you're screwing around with, that he build completely on his own. That's entirely unforgivable.

piracy is a crime shop lifting is a crime. yes they are different, as 1 person sits on his ass on a computer and does it in the safety of there own home and the other gets up goes out to the shop to sort his business.

if they were 20% cheaper then i may consider being an honest moral citizen and just buy the stuff i need, but when i know i can make an order on-line of say £300. say it didnt turn up get another lot sent and say that didnt turn up again and get another lot sent, i just get an amazing feeling from "breaking the system" i couldnt give a toss about GW do you think the directors arent going to be able to eat if i stole even £20000 worth? the facts are this: 1.worry about your own moral beliefs and not others, its seems like your jealous of my annual income and my robin hood / mad max view on the world. and 2. only the dark gods of chaos can judge me.

Get over it.

To quite a few above, i needlessly need to point out the tight-ass natuee off flat out pirating your preferred armies rules, but to profess how that's a fully legit way to act.... i mean honestly.... ... i don't think that anyone here that spends a thousand bucks on the army wants to cheapen it with a downloaded PDF of the codex... but thats fine.... at the end of the day those that pretend otherwise might as well buy from recasters and keep going down that path, infact got to you local BigW or equivilant and get you 50 men for 5$ cos you clearly dont care...

and grid really companies should "embrace the breach of their copyright" .. is that a serious comment? why the hell would anyone print ANYTHING if not to get a cut of it? surelyyourtrolling with that comment right? RIGHT?

so stealing is legit? give dakka your addy? and if your TV etal gets nicked then its legit to... get a grip pal

Give dakka my addy? what there the warhammer police now are they? stealing is legit? where have i said this? just remember this. ive got fook loads of models, paints, scenery, ive spent 1/3 of there actual retail price.

Youve probably payed full price or bought second hand stuff off an 8 year old on ebay that has massacred your models so badly that you have to re spay them black and now you cant see the models details.....

Whos the idiot here?

Survival of the fittest mate...

im over it...

Are you?

For the record - DAKKA DAKKKA is 100% against piracy.
