I have these too. Great stuff. My only beef is the destructor turret. I prefer the angular look to the mutated T-55 look. But it doesn't really matter because the pack has 8 of the angular turrets that are easily convertible. The hunter and razorbacks are better than the originals, IMO.

Get away with what? I'm not sure what you're referring to. :whistle

I'm not a lawyer, but in light of the chapterhouse decision, it seems like these might be legit. However, whoever made these probably doesn't want the legal harassment they're likely to get from the pics being posted. Could you pull the pics? Anybody can find these on there if they look around.

With that said, I have a couple packs of both and they're wonderful. The caps that replace the bolt guns don't really work IMO but the turrets and sponsons are great-- high detail, durability comparable with plastic, a good fit. Bonus points for making them in FUD and magnet-friendly. Bonus bonus points for taking the one miniature in epic that's ridiculously available and making it a viable proxy for lots of different combat roles. Bonus bonus bonus points if they make a dozer blade for the E40k era Vindicator. ;)

Bravo to the person who made them, largely because I've run out of bonuses to grant. :)

Sure I could pull the pics - honestly if you guys think it matters I will.
However I do think if GW wanted to be on the lookout for any IP infringement, don't you think they'll be scouting out places like a popular 3D printing service, on a daily basis and will not need to come here to see the stuff?

I think you're good. I can't see how this is IP infringement. This is an after-market kit made for an item that's been out of production for nearly 15 years now. Post away.
