Love the concept.

GW actively claim Salamanders as a mark in recent filings.  I would expect the novelties, the language surrounding this set and the novelties to result in some form of response from them.

Suggest a) change the name, b) remove the novelties as pictured, they are pretty egregious, c) remove the language in the description which links clearly to GW IP.

The colour scheme on its own is probably fine, but as it stands this isn't going to stand up to challenge.

Those are some great points and I've been thinking about it lately as well but I feel like with how lowkey the hobby is we might be able to fly under the radar, I do agree with the novelties and im already working on fixing them a bit so they are  abit more vague!

Totally makes sense to me, and Id love to see this set made. Its such a lovely palette

I'd say that hoping to fly under the radar feels like the wrong move. In many cases the suppliers will wear the risk.  Id suggest either changing the title and novs to be sufficiently legally distinct, or come to some arrangement with GW.  Theyre nerds and hey, they might love the idea!

You might think about sub chapter novelties.

Core message: Id generally never aim to hope to dodge trademarks and copyright.

To add to this in the United Kingdom Games Workshop has a trademark application under examination covering Class 9 which includes "computer peripherals" and an active trademark for class 28 which largely covers toys and games; maybe go for something adjacent like Vulkan or Nocturne or something?
