Marvel's Symbiotes vs Tau Empire

The moment when GW finds out about this. Just the thought it's making me smile like an idiot

Well he did add a second head to the suit

Maybe its enough to claim as new?

Its a fucking balant RIPOFF not just reference, it even has the Tau insignia on it there.
btw. aint this mechs from Terminator or something to?

Well marvel is now part of disney

They got access to the legal firepower to scare the shit out of anyone

Did the comic artist really just search for sci-fi on a CAD database and think they were generic enough?

Even GW?

With something so balantly stupid it will be a cakewalk for GW.

...or GW is now Disney to but we don't know it yet.

You can see he just upscaled the Devilfishes while letting the doors, engines and drones stay tiny.

Who still has rights to Warhammer comics?

They outsourced to another studio didn't they?

Not the big 2 though

HAHAHA oh fuck you are right
he just thrown a CAD model there
resized one part and left it there

Shit, people take big money for shit like that?

Those look ripped right out of DoW, wtf comics

Sonic cannons are more effective, because they're harder to dodge. On the other hand, this dude's about Spider-Man fast. Pretty sure he's going to tear a very large number of them to shreds, before they just bombard him and hope that works on him.

Wow, just wow.

Im just waiting for some pleb to point to my tau army one day and say my game stole that from marvel.

it looks like skyrays, you can see their itty bitty widdle seeker missiles along the tops of them.

Is this the end for GW?

There become so weak that cant protect their own ip anymore?

Probably never going to happen

Its look its only in one of the shitty spin offs series that last for 12 issues

Thanks, completely forgot their name.

GW could sue Disney and win, imagine the ego of those fuckers if that happened...

>imblying in couple years your Tau Army will be playable in new "Age of Emperor"!

HA!

holy shit who drew this thing?

looks like early 90ies digital transformer cartoons

>Haha look at GW so weak they can't protect their own IP!

>Fuck GW greedy assholes suing everybody and their mum!

Ariel Olivetti

Man done AVP, iron man GL, tomb raider,

Seems hes done jobs with all the studios

The guy is a vet

Why he do something so sloppy?

How does that mirror image work? His left side is closer to the mirror and his left arm is stretched out, but in the mirror image his right side is closer and his left arm bent.

I understand it's bulbous, but still doesn't feel like it's showing the reflection correctly.

Dude, youre really late to the party. It really doesn't matter. They rip off everything

Shit this issue just got released today

Damn

Because it was done by a fucking amature.

Im pretty sure he done the Symbiote and the whole background including awful generic space crap and ripped assets was done by a bunch of overworked, unpaid, shitty "Art Student" interns.

Well then those interns just cost marvel some coin if GW sues

I stopped reading comics long time ago so its possible. What else did they ripped?

Reminds me of that mid 90s comic pilot that was a complete and blatant Jojo ripoff, before anyone in the west really knew about JoJo.

Liefield has drawn Evagleion rip offs

The original fantastic four issue was literally copy paste from a monster comic and they added the fantatsic four in.

Thanos was ripped off from Darkside

Deadpool was a ripoff from Deathstroke.

This is small stuff

Those look like DoW:DC models

>Deadpool was a ripoff from Deathstroke.

Ah-ah-ah! Dudepeel is a PARODY of Deathstroke.

It'll obviously be the Tau Ultramar alliance in AoE.

well that guy sucks.

Give me a pencil and a paper sheet and even i can do a better job than the shit i see on this image

k i know them all besides the fantastic four one
but there is a difference between this and literary ripping CAD model from somewhere based on original IP. They made Deadpool at least funny and red, they didn't bother changing the name to but still.

Like i said, this shit even has Tau insignia on it.

Damn that tank still has a tau symbol on it

Forces of Grater Good and Forces of Chaotic EEEEVIIILLL!!!

>Deadpool was a ripoff from Deathstroke.
And Deathstroke is a ripoff from Captain America.

You forgot Apocalypse who is a ripoff of Mongol who is a ripoff of Thanos who is a ripoff of Darkseid, like some sort of Marvel/DC ripoff hot potato.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence. If you have enough people coming up with designs, eventually two guys are going to make similar things.

Besides, there's no way an artist would ever take a risk like that when their work is going to be published for thousands of people to see.

This isent a homage this is outright theft
I never thought I would be on games workshops side in a legal matter.

Jesus fucking christ, the guy couldn't even be bothered to color the skyrays white to match the other presumed stolen assets from last gen games?

Are they literally dow 1 dark crusade model rips?

Whatshisname Leib? Loeb? The guy who drew proportions unironically terrible, as in guys having pectoral muscles larger than DDDD cups, females having an arch to their back that could be measured in acute angles, and everyone having tiny ankles. He used to draw the main characters and such and would just write 'background' on the white areas and pass it off to his assistants.

Is that thing made of fucking Lego?

looks like it.

Not when Liefeld introduced him, he made like one joke and got shot a bunch by cable. Three or four completely separate writers and artists made him Deadpool.

Its a snowspeeder without the top. He didnt even cover the studs.

Someone send a line to GW so we can watch the fireworks.

Venom and the symbiotes have been shit since the bendis guardians retcon.

>Venom has pauldrons.
A sure sign of a 40k ripoff.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Liefield.

Emailing GW about this right now.
Never thought I'd actually want them to sue someone, but this infringement is just to obvious to be allowed to stand.

Serious someone archive this as a good example of a thread being driven off the OP question by the OP picture

More power to you. I dislike all the super hero shit these days more than I dislike GW.

And sent. I sent it to the customer service department though, does any one else have any other emails (like their legal team) that might garner even more sucess?
Anyways, here's to hoping for some free models are given to the whistleblower, for lack of a better term.

Yep. Hell, this might even bring GW and it's customers together. And besides, this is what marvel gets for making shit comics like she-thor.
You turn your back on your fanbase, don't be suprised when they turn their back on you

There's a line between kind of pushing it and egregious IP theft.

Yeah... DC and Marvel, even Darkhorse to a degree, are stagnant, horrible entities that deserve no leeway. They're not even comicbook companies anymore, they're horrible to their own artists, and they're staffed with absolutely garbage people.

Sometimes they actually make a compelling product, but it's quickly forgotten and swept under the rug in favor of the next big retcon or stupid plotline they're trotting out. Really, GW is lite on being a shitty corporate entity compared to nerdom's comic touchstones.

It is referred to as a "Classic Blunder," a reference to that scene in The Princess Bride but paraphrased for Veeky Forums's own purposes.

Nigger, you don't get to bitch about people turning backs if you are backing GW after the living abortion that is Age of Shitmar. They literally used your face as toilet paper, and you are begging for more, you miserable fuck.

I actually mentioned how people don't like AoS. Reffered to myself as a long time fan of 40k and WHFB, but not a fan of AoS. I figured that being told about a very obvious theft of IP might be one of the few times they listen to customers.

Besides, I don't play AoS, and it's not anywhere close to as disrespectful to the fans as what marvel has done.

I really doubt much would come of it either way unless there's a lot more of it. It's just a few pages in a newer comic
There's a few of those. Another one I remember off the top of my head is Fantastic Four to Doom Patrol to X-Men

Fucking. Laughable.

Keep desperately justifying why your husband beats you a bit more, you pathetic cunt.

So since we're on the topic (loosely) does anyone know if there's any good Warhammer comics? (Fantasy or 40k) I wouldn't mind getting a chance to read up on all the cool shit in a visual form.

I'm beginning to suspect the artist did this shit on purpose. Like, who outright steals from that many IPs so blatantly?

Keep sucking she-thor's dick while the new muslim captain britian fucks you in the ass, cuck.

sent this to gamesworkshop for the lols

I did

Here's an imgur page with links to quite a few of them, like damnation crusade, though it's missing the redeemer, and possibly a few others

Thanks user.

Good man. Now we watch Marvel burn.

Alright, the both of you shut up. Both companies were horrible to their fans. Now lets watch them butt heads.

Well, that's the point, innit?
All their posturing, all their rage and anger, and a bigger fish just takes what they want, and GW has to just stand there and take it like a bitch.

That escape vessel looks familiar.

Also is that a Necron on the last panel?!

yes

They've also recently released a few of the older 40k stories like Daemonifuge as hardback comicbooks too if you want to flip physical pages.

omg your right... just wow.

Holy sweet Emperor this is fucking gold! How long have comics been doing this for?

Since Greg Land and other blatant tracers got into the comic industry

What the flying fuck...

I don't think so. In this case, it may just be a generic robot

greg land trace porn for facial expressions

no the point is that autists like you will always find something to criticize

Don't be an idiot, it's pretty clear that OP intended people to discuss this.

someone got paid to make this page

This can't be a finished page, the last two panels look like a screenshot of garrys mod or something

I've seen sketches of some of those pages and things that was sketched, especially the robot, looked NOTHING like the final version.

Its like someone sketching an entire page and going: "Ah! Screw it! I'll paint over an entirely different stuff!"

I really wonder what actually happened in the production process.

>tfw disney, to avoid suing, decides to erease the problem at it's origin and buys GW

Not sure if i want this to happen

The redeemer.

Prepare for She-Marines and other progressive things if that happens.

Games-Workshop vs Disney!
