MODERATORS
Yeah. Dune, star wars, foundation, michael moorcock, 200ad (there are 1:1 rips from judge dredd), starship troopers, aliens, and a bunch of others. Wh40k has very few new ideas and in most cases isan extremely impressive act of copyright violation.
Great artists steal and all that
GW takes it to the next level by aggressively asserting IP ownership on very flimsy grounds, then attacking their own customer base.
Love seeing someone mention Moorcock. It's been years, I may have to pick them back up again.
There's a newish faction of IRL straw-nihilist alleged anarchists running around using the eight pointed star of chaos as their symbol and I like to taunt them about being GW nerds because how can you take people who actually embraced straw nihilism seriously?
I'd wanted a chaos star tatoo for years. Glad I was too broke and outgrew the idea.
