I think he's talking about Warhammer 40k and the Chaos marines.

Warhammer Fantasy is closer to it.

Bah, it's not as if GW never "borrowed" anything. Just ask Michael Moorcock. He's the guy they got the 8 pointed star from.

Trust me, I'm certianly not saying that Blizzard ripped off GW in any way. I've been playing 40k (3500 pts IG, 1850 pts Black Templars, 500 pts Arbites) since well before WoW came onto the scene. I'm just saying that GW has borrowed ideas from other sources much as Blizzard does. Hell, Space Marines could be seen as having been inspired by Starship Troopers (the book, not that terrible movie).

That's my absolute favoritve Penny Arcade. I had some friends who made exactly the claim that Gabe makes, and my respose was not quite as good as Tycho's, but much in the same spirit.
