its easy to say after the fact what people did wrong, but even if you watch a million reps and find amillion mistakes, sometimes in the game you just don't think of everything. even boxer and the best progamer makes some silly mistakes sometimes.

hahaha

when hurricane isabelle wreaked havoc on virginia when i was in highschool, our power was out for like a week. we dug out the ancient 40k armies we had and played for hours... it was so great.

the parallels to SC are striking though. aesthetically, toss is very similar to Eldar (dark eldar/DT, high eldar/HT etc.), tyranid is like identical to zerg, and come on, Space Marines? Even Chaos was like infested terrans.

SC is a complete robbery of War Hammer 40,000. Lings look EXACTLY like Gaunts and act basically the same way. The whole "Overmind" concept is completely "The Mind in the Warp" and how the Cerebrates / Overmind control the armies through the mind? Sooooooooo completely blatant.

It gets worse with Space Marines (didnt even change the name from the WH40K Space Marines).
And yeah Eldar --> Protoss so hard core. I dont blame Blizzard though. War hammer is fucking awsome and as far as original ideas go for races WH has done an incredible job.

Ye, and Xel'naga = old ones?

Anyhow - A LOT of warhammer is obviously borrowed from alien / predator and the original book behind starship troopers

War Hammer is almost 30 years old whereas Aliens / Predator was made in early 80's. Original book for Star Ship troopers originated MOST of the swarming alien concepts that are seen in science fiction. Star Ship troopers originated some concepts for perhaps Tyranids -> Aliens -> Zerg but nothing really more.

Released in 1987, the name was sub-titled 'Warhammer 40,000' in order to clearly differentiate it from 2000 AD's Rogue Trooper comic series. The game featured rules that were closely modelled on those of its older sister, Warhammer Fantasy Battle.

I stand corrected! My perceptions were wrong! Ty FA for setting me right.

Lol ;D I actually thought it was a little bit older as well :> (I thought it was released in the early/mid 80s).
