Article: The Baron and Norse female football team

[julien.casses]

I\'m dreaming or one of the two heads of this \"Emperor\" is just a recast head from a plastic GW bretonnian knight ?

You know that it\'s illegal to make recast ?

On the pics of the metal cast i didn\'t saw this head so i think it\'s just the painter who paint it for his own pleasure and that this head is not in the pack ...

Tell me if i\'m wrong :redface::drunk:

Otherwise it\'s nice to cast this kind of minis, lot of people like this kinf of stuff, after IMHO, the sculpt are too approximative, lot of anatomy error and proportions (on the Emperor and on Norksa boy).

PS : Also one thing, Blood Bowl is a special mark from GW... be careful... copyright...
All that i\'m saying is not too be boring or to make you bad publicity, it\'s more too help you. GW is very fast when they have to make trials and it\'s always the little structure who suffer from that....

Good luck on your selling !!!!

Hey Julien thanks for the heads up, posted in a rush and didn\'t look.

Yes the head is a conversion using a bret plastic head, and the pic of the football player was taken from the site. I have edited it.

Thanks again

As for the Emperor it was Yogo first sculpt so is not a top mini but still a nice piece for gamers, and for the Norse same story. They both saw their mistakes and working on them. Plus both are limited to 200 casts just to recover the costs of sculpting and casting.

Wait to see the Black Lord it will be at another level for sculpting.

And by the way how are you hope everything is ok.

Héhé i\'m now waiting for this black lord
Love to see new minis !
After sure this minis are firstly for gamers, and in this kind of policy, it\'s sure that it\'s a kind of really nice stuff !
Who had never dream to have an \"Emperor\" looking hero in his own army !

Again, good selling, hope to see painted version of your minis on cmon, especially of the norsca boy (long time ago i play Blood bowl ^^)

watch out for GW - iirc \"blood bowl\" is registered name not mentioning the head used for the emperor

Yes I know, it was a honest mistake since the picture for the fantasy football player was sent to me by the sculptor, and as for the Emperor is just a conversion clearly stated in the site that we used a GW head, the original model doesn\'t have any GW parts in it at all. Fully built in GS as our caster will only work on master sculpts and will not accept any plastic or metal parts to cast due to copyright issues that this might involve. But thanks all for the heads up.

Well spoke also with my lawyer and Blood Bowl is not a registered trade mark, since the words blood and bowl can have many meaning and are regular vocabulary meanings. Also looked on GW legal and is not in their list. In any case managed to change it, and thanks all for the heads up

Heres hoping GW puts the smackdown on this thing, to close to GW IP for my liking.

I like the Norse fantasy football team, if I played it I would definitely buy a set as for the Baron when it is back in stock I definitely want one.

Again sorry the guy misunderstood my words on the phone, I have to agree with you and again thanks for the heads up. I modified all the pics accordingly. Since the team is a Fantasy Football team, it was the sculptor that edited the images, my fault was to use them with out looking at them carefully at the begging.
