Warhammered by GW Lawsuit
NoGutsNoGalaxy's store was sued for Warhammer, by a Florida law firm hired by GW, but the Warhammer in question was about the Battletech mech.
I try to keep an eye out for interesting graffiti that might inspire terrain. I have plenty of examples from Southampton, but I was in Oxford this week and saw these:
Notice anything?

Graffiti alley in Ghent
People sometimes say you can recognise a vibrant city by its street art. Ghent is a hip and free-thinking cultural city where everyone is welcome and free to do their thing. Werregarenstraatje in Ghent is a public canvas for young street artists.

What is going on with GW at the moment? I’ve heard about a bunch of C&D requests being sent out and some legal threats but I’m not entirely sure why GW is doing it now, as opposed to any of the previous years they could have.
I can understand on clamping down on scams and deliberate fakery - I’m surprised eBay hasn’t been given a harsh speaking to to by GW’s lawyers - given how anything even vaguely connected to wargaming gets given a Warhammer tag to get views.
Are they really that bothered by 3rd parties making resin bases just because they “Warhammer compatible”?
Will foam carrying case companies now have to use weird euphemisms because they can’t use GW product names to let their customers know which cases are suitable for which model lines??
But GW will GW. Wonder if they’re going to stop using any of the extensive amounts of other people’s IP they’ve… err… paid homage to… ?
Nah, didn’t think so.

Nah, didn’t think so.
People have put stickers over the signs saying “don’t stick stuff up here”.
eBay sellers have been targeted to.
In some ways, about time. I’m fed up with a lot of the misleading items on there.
And more than a few don’t care when you point out their error. “Hey, this is a Warzone model, not a 40k model.”
According to someone on the Reddit thread, Games Workshop sued No Guts No Galaxy with a copyright claim over 'Warhammer' fridge magnet, a Florida based firm is doing the suing on behalf of GW, is to do with optics and you can get away with this in certain US States.
Interesting vid. Sounds like I might as well stick with the coat d'Arms goblin green then, although I would say the colour is further away from the original versions I used to use.
I think the biggest problem is that original 80s Goblin Green was produced in big vats and had no Quality Control! So there was a lot of variation as they put the paint in the little pots.
90s was a bit better produced but there’s still variations.
The ones I had were a sort of creamy green that lent a bit more to yellow. Earlier batches were more blue.
Having looked at a lot of the originals at Foundry and Warhammer World it’s quite noticeable that most modern “Goblin Green” reproductions are quite vivid and don’t have the muted tone the original did. I think that’s because the screw top era one was super vivid and the clones seem to be based on that.
Still Coat d’Arms is a pretty close match to the 80s one, though its covering power is a bit weak. Not seen Duncan’s range so can’t comment.
Stahly’s Citadel mix is interesting, easy enough to do if you get a big enough dropper bottle and just tip all three pots into it!
Coat d'Arms can definitely be a bit thin. Especially their metallics.
I noticed the difference with the colour after I ran out of my last pot of old citadel goblin green (in a hex pot with the white lid) while painting my Battletech Jade Falcons. It seems less vivid to me, maybe a bit more blue.

I don't travel for work that often, but it happens that I was in Oxford again yesterday. (That's twice in two weeks, but I think only the third time since the pandemic.)
This time, I noticed these near the canal:
