hi peeps, just seen a post over on beasts of war, and aposted spoted this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-Resi...648658484&po=&ps=63&clkid=6365932784204779913

nice looking tank, but from china, and looks like a kit bash thats been cast as a kit, bit pricey for my pocket (also be intresteing if GW legal go after the makers as theres clearly GW parts in the kit)

 

[the-ad-man]

im not too sure that is a kit bash to be honest, i dont seem to recognise any of the parts from any other gw kits

not a bad model to be honest, but if your gonna buy one, buy it fast i cant see gw standing for it for very long, especially as they are selling it as an 'origional warhammer 40k ork tank'

there has to be some copyright infringement somewhere :/

 

[the-ad-man]

p.s. what bits do you recognise? im only asking cause it'd be interesting to know what theyve used for the tank

 

[fynn]

weapon barrels (las cannon and shooters), a IG/sm flamer on the sponson, and some of the glyph plates are familiar (from the truck kit?), and the big ork head plate looks like the one from the old metal def dread kit, the ram from the old rhino kit
oh and the turret looks like from a 1/48th sherman kit

 

[the-ad-man]

ah rite, fair doose

 

[Tzeen Qhayshek]

That looks like a ForgeWorld Grot Tank.

I was thinking the same thing that it looks like a kit-bashed FW grot tank....

GW will defiantely be after them though as they're advertising it as a GW origional, and its not.

 

[fynn]

and after looking at the FW grot tanks, its not one of them
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Orks/GROT-TANKS.html
and the seller is also selling a ork killcrusher, which is marked as FW unlike the ork tank

we should ask questions at the bottom of the link like:

so, why are you ripping off games workshop?

do you have permission to use the warhammer 40k name?

etc, etc

Kit bash or not... That thing is freaking awsome!

 

[Tzeen Qhayshek]

Well, this guy is a dead man walking. If GW finds out he is a goner.

Look at all the Gubbinz!

 

[bitsandkits]

i like the negative feedback for recasting the seller has, proceed with caution people.

 

[GrizBe]

This guys defiantely dodgey... he's also selling a 'Super Killa Can' thats also obviously made from recast parts.... his store also is claiming to be selling GW minitures pre-painted, and some of them I recognise as past Golden Deamon entries... so not his.

GW's legal department should be contacting this guy...

GW wont even need to, they have VERO agreement with ebay which means if GW are made aware then they will tell ebay to remove his listings and if he relists ebay will ban him.
I see have mixed feelings about this recasting full minis is very very bad but alot of that tank has been made from scratch and obviously alot of effort and talent has gone into it, unfortunately hes IP infringing and hes based in country that has no regard for copyright and trademarks.

If he was just selling the tank alone i would say good luck to him but the recast feedback and other evidence says give him a wide berth, i have to admit alot of this seems to be going on on ebay at the moment, usually GW are much more proactive than they have been of late, maybe the legal team is busy elsewere.....

 

[turel2]

This sellers looks really dodgy. I would avoid.

 

[Tzeen Qhayshek]

No matter what his intentions may or may not be, the models themselves are definitely lookers. It is too bad that they will be removed.
