lol, indeed.
So I was at Warhammer World last weekend for the Carnage 40K tournament. I took my Necrons with both my C'tan and this walker. One of the guys playing in the tournament was a design studio guy and we got into a gentle argument about IP infringement. It was all fairly friendly and poorly-informed, with him spouting the company bullshit, but he did call in a couple of his buddies from the studio later on.
I said I wanted to sell a few to make back my costs and he was quick to tell me to expect a Cease & Desist from GW paranoia. Sorry, I mean GW legal. He also told me I 'better be quick'. So their Triarch Stalker model will see release in 1-2 months I reckon.
Anyhow, a couple of his mates came out of the studio, scoffed at my paltry efforts and promptly disappeared. I was slightly annoyed by this as I am still a hobbyist and have no intention to steal business from them and they were unable to offer any feedback other than, 'Our lawyers will mess you up.'.
Incidentally, I don't consider myself to be stealing business from them whilst they have no model to represent the unit they published rules for months ago. Once they bring their model to market, I will stop selling mine and re-purpose the kit as was suggested earlier in this thread.
