I've added a bunch of new links -most of them to the sites of the people who frequent these forums. I hope it's ok with you guys -otherwise I'll of course remove them at once. The workbench hass gone through a major overhaul. There's a bunch of pics there so they might take a minute or two to load. http://www.mustangsalling.dk/workbench.html http://www.mustangsalling.dk/links.html Cheers! _________________ Sofa General Nobody expects the Inquisition!!! http://theepiclounge.wordpress.com/

One day 'I shall return"... If you want me to download the entire website off the net and give to in a zip file I have a program that can do that... _________________ Tom Webb Author Page: http://www.newtonwebb.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/thewebb Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thenewtonwebb Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thenewtonwebb

I love the idea of a Workbench type area. I think I learn much more from seeing what/how something was done before it gets the great paint job. Not that it is not great to see great painted minis though.   dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

Will GW have issues with the artwork use? I honestly don't know. The art is mostly taken from the old Realms of Chaos books which are some 15 years old by now. In principle they'd probably have to enforce their IP rights but with so old and unavailable material I doubt they'd bother. It's not like I've scanned the entire new 40 rulebook and put up on my site so they're not going to lose any money on it. Anyway the worst case scenario is simply that they'll ask me to take it down. Glad you enjoy the workbench page. It's kind of fun to do since it's also the only part of the site which will recieve regular updates. BTW does anyone think that I should e-mail GW, Forge World, Woodland Scenics, etc. and ask for permission to put up links? And what about private persons?

It shares ideas and insperations. Good thing to have on the site.

I always sent an email to let people know I was linking to their sites. In some cases they would add my site to their link list. Sort of a cross promotion kind of thing. ? I also posted comments about other sites when it was relevent in my pages and I would link them there as well. For example I might have a place were I was talking about how hard it is to match armies units and say "But I think when done like WMN did on his site, it works." Note the link? I got many comments about how they liked this as well. Again the whole cross promotion thing. dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

I also added a new BFG link and added the beginning of the Terrain and painting/moddeling section. No pics yet but just so that there's not so many broken links when you browse the site. Cheers!

Anyone else have this problem? Apart from that it is an excellent site, the workbench page is a cool idea. By the way, cheers for the link, I will add one on my page next time I update my site!! _________________ http://hordesofthings.blogspot.co.nz/

GW will have SERIOUS issues with the artwork. It is irrelevant that the artwork is 15 years old, copyright ceases seventy years after the death of the creator. GW must be seen to protect its IP at all times. Failure to do so would weaken any court case against some other person who had scanned and put the entire new WH40K rulebook on a website. Worse case scenario is possibly legal action for damages... ...though as you say more likely asking for its removal I would recommend reading this section of GW's website http://uk.games-workshop.com/Legal/legal.htm relevant quotes Out-of-Print Material Please do not scan, copy, or republish any out-of-print (OOP) materials. It may be that in the future we reuse or license out the use of this material. BTW does anyone think that I should e-mail GW, Forge World, Woodland Scenics, etc. and ask for permission to put up links? And what about private persons?

You do not need to ask permission to link to someone's website, though deep-linking images and other resources is deemed to be illegal.

It is nice to ask, but to be honest I never have.

You can ask permission, but as you are using GW's IP I think you may well be silly, as they may come and look at the site.

Also remember when linking that if the website has the right stats capability it can actually check which sites are referring it therefore the webmaster can check back on links anyhow.
