Romantic Antihero is a webpage designed and maintained by Monty Maxwell through services purchased from WordPress.com. The “Hobby Section” and some of the blog posts of this webpage contains references to intellectual property not owned by the owner of the webpage or WordPress.com, and is derivative work, generally considered “fan fiction” with no commercial application. No challenge to the rights of the intellectual property owners is intended.

If you are the owner of any of the IP found on this website questions and concerns should be directed to: maxwell (dot) monty (at) ymail (dot) com.WordPress.com and its owners and administrators are not responsible for the content provided through this website. Effort will be made to attach appropriate legal disclaimer to every use of 3rd party IP, but lack of attribution does not imply a challenge to the rights of the IP owner.

Much of the “Hobby Section” is devoted to “do it yourself” (DIY) Warhammer 40,000™ (WH40k) factions for the tabletop game. These DIY chapters of WH40k armies are written and designed by Monty Maxwell based on Games Workshop Ltd (GW) intellectual property and presented as non-commercial fan fiction. As such it is in no way, shape or form official or endorsed by GW.

The Painted Miniatures on this website, except where noted or implied to have been taken at events or games where other players presented their own work, were painted by Monty Maxwell, using Citadel paints on GW manufactured miniatures. Those miniatures are copyright GW, and the following below is applied, and implied even if not specifically attached to each individual photo:

Special Consideration Concerning the “arrow device” as used in the symbols of the DIY factions I designed: It is my understanding that the arrangement of eight arrows pointing in compass directions as a symbol denoting “chaos” originated with author Michael Moorcock, who has placed it in the public domain, and my use of the device reflects that understanding.

Special Acknowledgment: I use the “Force Recognition” painter from the B&C Tools webpage of  Bolter&Chainsword to design my color schemes for WH40k minis.
