    They really didn't have to change much to make it their own and unique... but heck 'copy paste' is just too easy.

    Now whens this game out? I wanna kill things with my faux-blade!

    <edit> browser based strategy game! Sweet!

    The Baneblade is just an amalgam of features from various WWII tanks, and there -were- historic attempts to create tanks on a similar scale.

    So even though it looks like a Baneblade, they really aren't 'stealing' much of anything. No one owns the concept of 'a really big tank, with lots of guns'.

    Agreed. The resemblance is definitely there, but it's different enough IMHO. And it's not like GW is completely innocent of the same thing.

    Wow, that really does look like a Baneblade! At lease EA has the moxy to tussle with GW.

    It feels pretty presumptuous to call a generic tank covered in guns "Gamesworkshop's". It's an overarmed tank, 40k doesn't have a monopoly on those.

    Not only are the turrets positioned the same, but the hull is almost exactly identical, right down to the "hexagonal" shaping under the main turret

    I don't care how "generic ww2" it is, basic design rights would cover that kind of similarity in a lawsuit
