This image from
Reddit builds the case that a tank design for
Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances appears quite similar to a Games Workshop-designed tank from the
Warhammer 40K series. Games Workshop is known for fiercely defending its intellectual property rights, so there is rampant speculation that if this claim turns out to be valid, legal action is likely to follow. Thanks

While I generally agree because, let's face it, GW's Genestealers were a direct rip-off, sorry, "inspired" by Alien/Aliens, I can't help but think that EA wouldn't hesitate to sue a company for stealing its designs. So I'm not sure why GW shouldn't be allowed to protect its work.
Harmony Gold sued FASA for "borrowing" designs for some of its mechs (Rifleman, Excalibur, Veritech, etc.)
