Yes, that is why GW sucks !!!!!!!!!!!
yet you're angry that a company producing models based on GW designs got shut down.... so maybe they don't suck as much as you make out?

How is it undercutting them though if they dont produce the product for the game? I get that a Ghost Ark is a Ghost ark no matter the size to them but trying to snuff out life from a obvious well loved game they dont support or produce isnt a way to go about it. IF they were smart they would ask for profits from sales and let it go (As they really need the income).
Mantic undercut GW (More ways then one). Since Age of Sigmar comming, Mantic produced rules for all of GWs fantasy range with point cost etc so that you can keep playing fantasy, and not AoS.
if you don't protect the design, you lose the right to it, at any scale.... if they let this go and said 'we are not challenging this IP infringement' then it would be an open door, mantic or whoever could start producing 'necron ghost arks' at 28mm scale, EXACT copies.... THAT is how it could undercut GW, I'm no legal expert, but it may have further ramiifications with other models, case law could establish that GW doesn't defend IP therefore all their IP is worthless, and as an IP-based company that would pretty much be the end of them, they are legally bound to defend their IP, it would be exactly the same if 'Super-Friendly-Corp' produced a range of models, they would be compelled to act exactly as GW have done, or lose their intellectual property
