FYI, the following purports to be an extract from GW's statement of
complaint in its lawsuit vs Demonblade. (Lifted from RGMW)
> "33. Although substantially similar in expression, overall appearance,
> and commercial impression to the GW Miniatures, some of the look-alike
> DBI Miniatures display features, characteristics, or weapons
> inconsistent with the carefully crafted character profiles developed by
> Games Workshop to allow for accurate point assignment and fair gaming
> results. As a result, a player�s use of non-compatible look-alike DBI
> Miniatures could interfere significantly with a proper evaluation of
> army characteristics and capabilities, disrupt proper point assignment,
> alter the Games� outcome, and negatively affect the player�s perception
> and enjoyment of the Games."
I find it difficult, though not impossible, to believe this is genuine.
If genuine, the term "Vexacious Litigation" comes to mind.
