The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

[Westfalia Chris]

Those cans of worms really should have a use-by-date. I'm getting a bit tired of them cropping up all the time.

That said, "allowed" may be the wrong term, I think they "tolerated" it back in the day since it was a minuscule problem and, as you say, not an issue with distribution being expensive and time-consuming. But to my knowledge, they have repeatedly acted against "professional", or rather, "habitual" recasters, as well as some instances of C&D letters against fora that actively discussed this.

Many manufacturers may have tolerated stuff, but still I think it is a dangerous assumption, if not downright false to assume such behaviour might continue in this day and age.

Ethical considerations of non-profit-copying aside, it is against the letter of the law in Germany and numerous other countries. I would certainly prefer we did not discuss this in a way that may be construed as LAF endorsing it, which we do not, and this type of legalese roundabout detour discussion is pretty much that, IMHO.

Agreed; let's get back to our regular programming...

So; how about those Primaris guys eh? 

[westwaller]

Still don't like 'ole fireback the Salamander
 (I know I probably don't have to put that bit of the kit on if I don't want to but it still is pants imho 

[Daeothar]

Well, there is precedence...

Don't mind me, just walking around with a barbeque grill on my back.

... hang on, hang on, let me get the sausages out. There'll be time enough for lunch and to beat the orks too.

Purity sausages! In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only Wurst!

Looks more like Fallout Iguana on a stick!

Could be both, you can never really be that sure in the grim darkness what they have put in your sausages..

[mcfonz]

Well it's not very grimdark if you have a fricken angry mob torch atop your helm is it? May as well throw in a couple of sparklers and a Katherine wheel to complete the set.

Double entendre or just my imagination!

[Daeothar]

Well, I've always found it strange that Chapters with animals as their badge are prone to wear the pelts of said animals.

I mean; look at the Space Wolves. 'We venerate the Fenrisian Wolves of our home planet as our totem and spiritual animal. So every one of us has to go out there, kill one in the most barbarian way possible, then flay it and wear its pelt. You know; because we love 'em...'.

And they're not alone in that either. The Salamanders do the same, just like the Celestial Lions, Space Sharks and even my own Fiery Lions (but that's mostly because sculpting a pelt was easier at the time than sculpting a plain cloak ).

Makes you wonder about what certain other chapters have to go through to adorn themselves though. I mean; the Imperial Fists are in serious trouble in that regard, considering the Emperor really only has (had?) two hands...

[Tactalvanic]

Wolf sausages, Salamander sausages, lion sausages.. eerr - Shark Sausages... no problem - leader cooks them on the field of battle, you never know when hunger might strike.

Would have preferred pies but I guess an oven on their backs might not be  "showey" enough..

Now that's a chapter idea "The Imperial Pie Masters"..

Initiation rituals involving stuffed puffed pastry crusts and assorted other chapter venerated animal parts? Made in a barbaric Venerable traditional way of course.


Oh..

Emperor did/does? have two hands, thats plural, they can be re-used...recycling the 40k way.

Unlike the other chapters, The Fists are not into single use totems.. I guess someone puts them back after every barbaric veneration.

Hat, please.
Where did i put my coat...
