Starcraft and Warhammer 40,000

With the release of Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War 2 coming hopefully in 2009, I've noticed alot of things similar with the two franchises. Warhammer has been out since the 80's, and Starcraft came out in the late 90's. Just take a look.

Big shoulderpads, tiny heads....

So what do you think? Did Blizzard take off Game Workshop? Or is it a coincidence?

dosent matter to me that there similar..

all i know is i would hate to face any one of them in combat.

It's not a coincidence, but it's not really plagurism, either. StarCraft was originally going to be a 40K game, but the deal fell through, or something.

If I started work on something, if I devoted resources to something, and it ended up being for nothing because of someone else, I wouldn't pull the plug. I'd do what I could to keep it going. I think what Blizzard did was fine, and it resulted in one of the best RTS games of all time, so who are we to complain?

What I don't like is ignorant Blizzard fans accusing Warhammer 40K (or WH40K games) of copying StarCraft. That aside, yes, StarCraft is a complete copy of WH40K, and no, it really doesn't matter.

warhammer40k marines need a powered armor facelift, the starcraft 2 marines are infinitely cooler looking then both! :P

Okay, pls don't hate me for this, but until recently, I thought WH40k started with dawn of war. I thought (for a long time) that WH40k ripped of starcraft, but I guess the shoe is on the other foot.BlackcloudC28

yeah, two bad things in one package: franchise war and antique thread revival.
