ChapterHouse Studios is a miniatures company that produces miniatures and bits meant to be used with Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy lines. Rather than dancing around the issue and saying "compatible with major brands of 28mm miniatures (wink, wink)", ChapterHouse's products are directly named and organized by what GW factions and models they're meant to go with.
Lawsuit from Games Workshop
Games Workshop got fed up with this and filed a lawsuit against them when they started making models for units that GW had named in their codexes but not depicted in any art or models, most notably the Tyranids' Mycetic Spore. The lawsuit went on for years, but finally ended in ChapterHouse's favor -- since Games Workshop had never actually produced any depiction of the units in question, it was ruled that ChapterHouse (and anyone else) weren't violating any copyrights by making their own models.
Games Workshop took out their anger at the ruling on the Tyranids, stripping the unit from the 6th edition Tyranids Codex. Going forward, it seems that they will likely use dataslates and expansions to delay publishing rules for units until the model is complete, to prevent such a thing from happening again.
