      There is no legal basis for this for them, you are putting out content for free you do not need to stop pateron or anything else as you are not demanding a charge for views. Their stuff is not done on any legal ground, Anyone can make anything based on anything as long as they are not charging to have it or view it or saying that you are an official (look to Star Wars fan films as a great example) Also all of their stuff is based off other peoples stuff major movies and books ha this is all scare tactics.

With how trash youtube has been, i can understand the demonitization on youtube but they have no power or right to effect anything like patreon for him animating.

      Yes, they could. 40k is more than a concept. Whether his models are custom made or not is irrelevant. If I custom animated an Iron Man animation and then started monetizing it, Marvel would sue me. The models he has created are clearly direct copies of the actual models. The DKoK Lasguns are a perfect example of this. GW will have that specific design of lasgun copyrighted. Additionally, the name of the regiment itself is used in the title of one the videos. Again, GW will have that copyrighted.

      @@RWJP Before I say anything else, I'll say that I see you're one of those people supporting all of the new things GW are pulling with their fanbase. Also, if it were that easy to get something pulled, they would literally get to demand that literally anything that so much as utters the name of one of their things, be it a planet name, term specific to 40k, guard regiment, space marine chapter, etc to get pulled down.
      We see plenty of the small channels get basically pulled down for this, with the focus being on animation channels, but they haven't tried anything on the larger ones, with Alfabusa being the largest one and also technically animating the 40k universe. They're certainly using the excuse of it being their intellectual property to mess with those they know they can mess with. It just seems to be like they're absolutely just jealous of most animators here doing a better job of portraying their own universe.

      Wrong. GW can't pull everything down. But they can pull stuff down when it's being monetised. I can say "Cadian", "Adeptus Astartes", "Eldrad Ulthran", "The Swarmlord" as much as I like because I am not monetising what I am doing.
      In the end, the simple fact here is that AbsolutelyNothing broke the law by monetising content he had no right to monetise. GW had more avenues of legal recourse available to them, but they chose the softest, gentlest option.
