Not precisely true... Gaunt used to have rules. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673999/8331582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673999/8331582.page GMT When will we get commissar Ciaphas Cain/ Commissar Gaunt rules???? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673999/8331586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673999/8331586.page GMT When will we get commissar Ciaphas Cain/ Commissar Gaunt rules???? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673999/8331596.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673999/8331596.page GMT When will we get commissar Ciaphas Cain/ Commissar Gaunt rules????

I don't know the details of the relationship among GW, the Black Library, Forgeworld and the authors but other than Guant we have never seen a BL character get official GW rules or a model.

However we are seeing HH characters get FW rules.

It may just be a feeling in the studio of 'not invented here' or it may be an issue of copyrights/royalties/incentive payments.

In the US licence work is almost always work for fire, that is the licencor (Disney, DC comics, Hasbro) owns the copyrights. But writers usually get a bonus if their characters are used elsewhere, ie if your DC character is turned into an action figure or used on TV. Which sometimes means companies don't want to use more recent creations because they would cost money.

In Britian, I don't know how it works but I know it is more complicated. I've heard that BBC for example, does not necessarily own all the Dr Who characters and sometimes the original creator maintined the rights. Didn't the rights to K-9 end up somewhere else?

So my gut feeling is never, and reason is lawyers, contracts and money or just the fear of getting involved in them.

Related, I don't think any BL characters have appeared in the FFG games, is that correct?

No official stats for Eisenhorn or Guant for example.

But there is an Eisenhorn video game coming.

Of course Eisenhorn was created by the studio for the 54mm Inquisitor game, not by Abnett.

So yeah. Complicated.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673999/8336518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673999/8336518.page GMT
