warhammer 40k

[PaladinLee]

Would some one kindly import some of the warhammer 40k stuff or make some new mods?

40k (and Warhammer Fantasy) are copyrighted material that GW is very sensitive about protecting.

 

Yes, I know that Gary's Mod is chock-full of copyrighted models from other games, especially GW stuff. But that doesn't necessarily follow here at the Nexus. The TOS is very clear about not allowing porting of models from other games. (Which is what I presume you mean by "import some of the warhammer 40k stuff".)

 

Making new mods BASED on GW stuff is still not probably going to happen. For example, using named characters from 40K or Warhammer Fantasy would still be a copyright issue. "Wood Elf" is generic, true. But saying "Wood Elf War Dancer" would definitely be encroaching on GW's copyright.

 

Having said all that, if you type "The Witcher" into the search box in the Nexus mods section, you'll get a LOT of mods of costumes, weapons and armor that are clearly identical to those in The Witcher games. Yet if you type "40k" or "Warhammer Fantasy" you'll get nothing. So why can some games have ported (or rather "re-modelled") material and others not? Damifino. Maybe one of the moderators can explain it better for you.

 

But here's something you might find interesting: Warhammer Gameroom by Gutmaw.

 

Oh, also, be sure to put mod requests in the mod request sub-forum. You'll get more responses.

Witcher is a rare exception to this because CDPR specifically allows Witcher assets to be used for modding.

 

Some other devs have given limited allowance as well.

Thanks! I knew there had to be a reason. Just didn't know what it was.

 

Small wonder that CD Projekt Red is so well thought of.
