@osbad this is how this works in the real world.
Someone logs a complaint and Kickstarter has to take down the project until it is cleared and/or an agreement of sorts is reached.

As outsiders we don’t know how, if or when GW contacted the creators of the project and kickstarter itself.
We don’t know what timeframe was exceeded before Kickstarter had to act (they can’t afford not to act because there’s plenty of money riding on the fact that their platform survives).

It’s real easy to frame a big evil corp as the bad guy, because they are easy to hate.

They might not have gotten onto GW’s radar if they hadn’t mentioned any of their games on their official page, but they did …

A short delay and back up in a few days.
Better now than after the campaign as the latter would have cost quite a bit more than a few resculpts of potentially offending minis.
