GW doesn't credit Micro Art Studio?

Post by mahon »

I'm writing to you because i think you should know that there are people trying to take credit for your Battle Bases, exactly the round Temple bases... Those people are Games Workshop, as you can see on this page of their website:

https://www.games-workshop.com/gws/conte ... id=2297739

If you look at the fourth image, those Eldar have unquestionably, Temple bases from Micro Art Studio, but in the accompanying text written by GW, you can read the following:

"Yannis converted his Dire Avengers [...] The bases are made from chopped-up bits of flooring from the Basilica Administratum kit."

Not only they didn't mention that the bases are from Micro Art Studio, but also they take credit for them, saying that the bases are made with GW products, when this is not true if anybody look carefully to the bases of those models and the pictures from your online shop:
