Yup, that was what I heard too. IIRC these were mentioned previously in the
other mailing list.

1. GW thought Armorcast should charge more - probably mean higher
royalty for GW.
        I think it was Tim (the guy in Armorcast) who posted this. IIRC.
2. The earliest date GW or Armorcast could cancel their contract was Oct 1.
3. Armorcast did a 40k baneblade (see armorcast.com) for approval from GW.
4. GW replied by cancelling the contract :) and that it will take
effect on Oct 1.

Meanwhile the sculptor of the model was doing a 40k Imperator, he did
finished a 40k MK I Warlord Titan. His email is members/aol/MBStudios or
something like that.
