Re: AoA Proxy Model Thread

@quozl and @Good Pig , just pointing out that it seems a bit funny as it is. I totally understand the jist of it. I won't be posting any proxy figures. To put in the kind of time to make them would need to be justified by some sort of compensation, and it would be legally ambiguous to sell them afterwards which would be a waste of time.

Check out my ebay where you can find my custom dice trays and dicetowers:

Do you guys really think a 3rd party sculpted model is going to make the difference. 1. You are using the same character names. 2. You are using images of the same models that were used in the campaign. 3. You are using the cards abilities and stats as close to the originals as you can. Then saying, no, you can't make a character from scratch in 3d software that resembles the characters, even if you do the work yourself.
So I think the main distinction here is that the cards have seemingly been released for use, so nobody here would be infringing a copyright by simply finding a proxy model to use with the cards, as they're being used as intended. As you stated, the legal grey area comes into play when a model is designed based on the original models of the game and then sold. However, with these 3rd party models, all of these were likely created without the intent to mimic the AoA designs.

It is noteworthy that most of the AoA designs are not unique in concept, evidenced by the fact that many proxies were found using generic search terms. So I would personally doubt the legitimacy of copyright infringement claims as long as the modeler doesn't blatantly rip off every design aspect of the original or market the model as the AoA figure. But, I understand everyone's trepidation.

Note, none of this is intended to be used as legal advice.

My motivation for including the links I did wasn't so much to circumnavigate any potential copyright pitfalls that may result in using .stl files of the original sculpts or to dissuade anyone from making their own renders of the characters but to provide access to models for anyone who doesn't have reliable access to a 3D printer (like myself). I think those that have the ability to make 3D models of the figures and print them should absolutely go for it, but for the time being here's a bunch of other options to draw from as well if some people didn't have the means to do that.

Lizardfolk pirate option for Tortuga. The listing also has an Orc if that floats your pirate boat.

Considering it's an Utgar squad, I think the Orc works nicely. Cool sculpt too.

This could be modified into a bear for Ordo Borealis

Im a little reluctant to post suggestions that require too much kit-bashing in the index for the time being since it's not something everyone is inclined to do even if it's fun from a hobbyist perspective. Might change my mind once we get a few more alternatives in there to give people options. For now though I found some ok-ish Ordo Borelais with these hippo gunners and Ogres after looking through the links you sent that could also be good kit bash candidates:

Re: AoA Proxy Model Thread

There was an excellent Scavorith posted on Reddit. It's Heroforge, so you can buy the actual model or the STL. STL files are on sale right now, so it sounds like you can get it for $4. It's not double-based, but probably closer than any pre-made model out there, while still having some pretty distinctly different features.
