I get that some of Ramshackle parts have turned up in a diorama on a GW blog. Like actual PARTS made by curtis or molded from them, not just other parts inspired by Curts' parts. And that kind of sucks given GW's attitude about owning what they stole.But that leads me to a question of my own:Why do people cry "Tyranid" every time they see overlapped scales, scythe-claws, or chitinous plates or a toothy alien grin? Some of the Sedition wars strain monsters are being called Tyranid rip offs. The Everblight dragon critters have been called Tyranid rip offs. The Tyranids and the Genestealers (who were not originally tyranids back when tyranids still had mind controlling parasites that turned humans and eldar and orcs into slaves) were both obviously heavily inspired by Giger's alien. The Marvel Comic Uncanny X-men made up an alien race called the Brood who were ALSO obviously heavily borrowing from the xenomorph and wasps.It's not like interlocking chitinous segments, spines, baracuda teeth, or insectoid features were invented by GW or first demonstrated in Tyranid sculpts. They occur in freaking nature! And Start Trek II was what, 1982? The Ceti Eel is a tyranid rip off? Say it's not so! It's a really big rubber ant-lion for goodness sake! It's a doodle bug!Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind was 1984! Check out their giant bugs sometime! The Herculoids had that crazy ten legged rino-saurus thing that shot bullets out of it's horn way back in 1967! The Metaluna mutant had overlapping plates in "This Island Earth" in 1955! The Gillman/missing link had them in 1954!Crabs have 'em! This is not a new and exciting concept that GW invented! It's not! I swear!Rant over.
Overlapping chitinous plates and hivemind insectoid alien swarms have been created by GW first and everyone else after that copid from them, even if their works were published before GW existed. END OF STORY. Anyyone who claims anything different is a liar and shall be excluded from The Hobby (tm).
