Uploaded a bunch of photos of my miniature skaven team (BB2016 GW miniatures) for use as player portraits. Today when i checked my images they had disappeared. Is this because they weren't approved and, if so, is it because they were GW minis and therefore infringing on copyright?

Cheers

It is indeed a copyright issue

GW copyrighted material will not be accepted by admins. This also includes pictures of GW miniatures and GW original art.

If you own the miniature and painted it yourself do you not own the image?

you do, but any images uploaded to this site are hosted here and not the property of the site.

its a greyish area for sure, but GW sent letters asking for their art to be taken down in the past. So lets not push our luck Smile

We can use pictures of teams that we bought off the back of some shady gypsy's cart, though, right?

I plan to have some choice Pedro Ramos sculpts in the coming years - once I get around to painting them Wink

Great I found this here now. Maybe it would be a nice idea to write this disclaimer on Image Upload page. I didn't know it and so I uploaded the images twice, as I first thought they have been deleted because of wrong dimension. If there were some text on upload page (or is there I I simply overlooked it?), I would not have bothered the poor admin who had to reject my images twice now. Sorry for that.
