So it's StarCraft?

[Phrex]

Looking at these screen shots, someone could have told me it's fan art of Raynor's Raiders and I would absolutely would have believed them. Will a future expansion add a race of telepathic religious zealots who desperately require MORE PYLONS!

you realize warhammer predates starcraft by decades, blizzard ripped off warhammer

Wasn't Starcraft originally developed to be a 40k title or is that just a meme?

Yeah pretty sure I heard that too.

But for OP I don't think they realise how old the Warhammer franchise is or they're just memeing for jester farm or something lol

well someone is clearly new to WH40k :D

[Silhouette]

lol, Warcraft was inspired by Warhammer Fantasy Battles, and StarCraft was inspired by Warhammer 40,000. ;)

I’m afraid Raynor's Raiders are “fan art” of the Ultra Marines. ;)

The world's not ready for the raw sex appeal of Tychus FIndlay.

A zoomer likely.

Brother, the Templar are just discount Eldar with Tau face paint

[Bonesaw]

Now this is some quality bait

[Reqhart]

Zoomer alert.

Take a close look at Warhammer and Warhammer 40k and take a look at Warcraft and Starcraft. You can clearly see Blizzard took a lot of inspiration from the Warhammer universe.

Zerg inspired by Tyranids

Protoss Inspired by Eldar

Terran inspired by Space Marines

Starcraft lore is a drop of rain compared to Warhammer 40k lore.

From a visual perspective, the Protoss aren't all that similar to Eldar. The only unifying thing I suppose is being psionics/psykers and a dying race. But the rest yeah, look pretty similar to the respective factions

starcraft started off as a warhammer game then they both went different ways and blizzard tuned it into a different universe cause they couldnt keep it as it was lol almost every sc player knows this fact and we ok with that i love both universes but thats a dumb comment

Warcraft 1 was supposed to be Warhammer, Starcraft is just Starcraft :)

WarCraft was meant to be Warhammer Fantasy, but GW denied Blizzard.

Starcraft was made to spite GW.

GW made Tyranids and Dawn of War to spite Blizzard.

At this point, Starcraft/WarCraft and Warhammer have diverged dramatically from each other that it's only surface level stuff that's "stolen." They both made their settings distinct.

All things considered, it was proabably a huge win for gamers, because we have two excellent but distinct franchises from it.

I would say I wish Blizzard would do more with SC, but honestly they would probably just F it up at this point.
