You guys did actually look at the picture right? I love the 40k universe, but kind-of hate Games Workshop for a lot of their polcies...
But that's pretty obviously a nearly exact copy of a Baneblade. The designer should have at least mixed it up a bit if he was going to use a 40k tank as inspiration. |

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.)

Oh boy, Games Workshop is perhaps the most litigation-happy company out there, going as far as taking down fan-made help assists for their own games, nevermind anything more creative like stories. If GW sues EA it's going to be a hell of battle. Whoever loses we all win, so hopefully GW goes ahead and both lose.  |

Indeed.. wtf
That tank is in key points different. I say, let them sue, and let EA kick Game Workshop ass. Because that'd be extremely lame, to sue over a stupid model. |

Yeah, it's all so effing ridiculous as everything is derivitive. There really is nothing new under the sun.
