Hi everyone, we made a quick video summarizing the 40k situation.
Hope it helps explain some things!

I know you can't sell or make any more from this IP, but it would be cool to do a raffle for Patrion members who missed out to get the file for free as a prize or even as a contest prize later on
I love the 40k IP but games workshop being the biggest twats about their IP (on par with Nintendo) makes it really hard to justify supporting them in any way.
Are we still allowed to sell space racist prints if the membership allows it?
GW is going to be the next blackberry. They refuse to adapt and change. Can't wait to see what you come out with next. And im already an avid trench crusade player. So super psyched about that.
Love your models/files. They are top quality and print beautifully. The fit of parts is incredible. Having had some experience with GW's business in the late 90s... I can say they are PIRATES in so many ways.... They have a history of letting people use their IP for products that GW has NO INTEREST in producing right up until they see a real market, then they SCREW the people that invested time and often money into developing the market. See the history of Armorcast and GW's Forge World 40k scale titans and superheavy tanks. Even if you manage to get a license from GW, you aren't safe from being screwed after creating a market for them.
Ahhhh I forgot I replaced my computer and forgot to redownload the files can't wait to see what else you put out
Those stilts could be used for any large cosplay. There is not much in the options for safe and affordable stilts, would be a huge boon to the cosplay community as a whole. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do with other IPs especially Trench Crusade. There is so much I would have loved to have seen from GW stuff, especially the chaos stuff, but I'm here for anything interesting to put together
it would be so sad if someone with the warhammer helmet stls emailed them to me, i would hate that
Great video and explanation!
Is there any chance you could do those stilts for another project?
that sucks dangly things
What I wouldn't give for some Lord of The Rings content. Helmets, weapons, armour etc... though I imagine the Toilkien IP would be similar to GW
Stilts team. Keep the project going. More dead space, now that you are doing Trench Crusade, maybe you can figure something out with the Blasphemous guys?
Please keep the stilts
Fallout, t-65, hellcat & vulcan power armors
As much as this sucks, good that you are pivoting and not wasting too much time dreading your C&D. Keep pumping out more good stuff.
GW should be made to walk on small lego without shoes. I only got into Warhammer after joining you guys. I have all the files I want to print on my SSD though mwahahahaaa come at me gw
Warhammer and Bethesda do that. As someone who sells 3D prints and creates fan art stickers/bags, we've been hit by Bethesda/Zenimax and it's honestly heartbreaking lol Right after we got our C&D, we received our TES board game, and two weeks later Oblivion Remastered dropped, and they were also renewing all of their licensing.
I saw in this video you were looking into 3D printing stilts and now you do not have, a costume to put them in might I suggest a full size covenant hunter cosplay from any of the Halo franchise versions it's always been a dream of mine personally to do one, but it seems like it would fit perfectly for you, as a way to utilise you're already made project
That’s why GW isn’t getting any cent from me. They failed on so many levels.
Yes I joined to for the 40k and unlikely I missed all :(( but still I will be a member mayne one day 40k will be again accessible, you guys did a wonderful job and keep up to Awsome work you guys do im sure ideas will be multiple to expand again
I joined the yearly plan because of 40k…I’m keeping the yearly plan because of you guys and your creativity and the education that you have provided. I look forward to seeing you guys really blow up in the future. Games Workshop really dropped the bag in my honest opinion.
I stopped buy anything GW a few years ago. I'll give my money to companies that don't actively hate me.
I wish games worship explosive diarrhea
Would be pretty awesome if they did license you guys... .but there is still a lot of other cool IP out there... Titan Fall, G.I. Joe, even just actual historical armor sets... knights, samurai, vikings, romans, greek, etc
Gw will never license any form of 3d files/printing as they have no sure fire way of control over who can print/sell it and they'd hate that
Not for me but you should still work on the stilts. Theres other uses for them…
This. There's plenty of other large/tall cosplays. And the vertically challenged.
I joined after interviewing you on one of the 501st web events a few years back. While I was never into 40k, I found the designs very cool, and it is disappointing that GW would do this. I hope Disney/LFL never give you any trouble because 90% of the things I print for my 501st and RL stuff comes from you. Keep up the good work Aaron and team!
Excited for the program for scaling. You guys are awesome.
GW is stupid. What about left over items? Eye lenses and hoses? Are you able to sell the left overs?
Space racist eye lenses are still in the shop
Would love to see you explore some Transformers
Ok I know it can’t be for the 40k stuff… but the stilts you can print could be really useful for a lot of things. 👀
Came for the 40k, and am completely blown away by everything else... looking forward to more Helldivers stuff and seeing what else comes from the GA master brain
You guys taught me so much and give me the motivation (and files) to keep this hobby up! Entering my first competition for the TC one, i dont expect to win but i wanna try!
Same my friend! As a hot tip from someone that paints for a living, the more time you spend on the prep work the better the finished product
So… that melta gun you were talking about… call it flame belch gun. Problem solved. Please release the flame belch files!!!
This is why you shouldn’t give your time and attention to GW stuff.
Is the gears of war shirt a hint at what’s to come?
Hmmmm
I came for the 40k but im staying because of the rest of your designs. You're doing great work, don't let the corpo scum get the best of you! 🔥🔥🔥
Well said GA team! Way to be professional in a difficult situation. You will always have my support. Just keep pressing forward!
Gw doesn't share. Chapter house all over again.
Love to see the perseverance from you guys, can’t wait to see more
Once I get home from training I'm gonna work on a TC helmet
Keep doing what you do, I’ve followed you since you started out and you got the support of the community. 40K is a hard thing to prosper in because of how hard they dictate their IP, BUT, if you still want to make Big powered suits of armor…. Revisit the fallout stuff! Would love to see some power armor in the future 👀
Galactic armory may not wish ill will. But I hope GW stubs its toes 🙏
When their feet are cold.
Keep making cool stuff!
Crazy how Star Wars as a property is fine with selling their intellectual property and are worth 75 billion but GW hates it and they’re only 5 billion. With 3d modelers and GW jacking prices, they will be bankrupt in a decade, even if they keep stomping on modelers. The files are out there. People share them. It will grow
Wouldyou be willing to DM me on Discord?
Love your stuff regardless. 10/10 quality.
Nice gears of war shirt. Is that a hint of things to come? 🤔
