In Mass Effect 2, the alternate heavy pistol is called a Carnifex.

But back to GW, there's the silly things like Ultramarine colored Ultramarines from Ultramar. But then there's :

Tyranid Warriors
Necron Warriors
Kabalite Warriors
Fire Warriors
Last codex, you could upgrade your Guard with Warrior Weapons

There's an old adage that would fit this: nothing is new under the sun. What GW is doing is using concepts, they're not necessarily "stealing" ideas. These ideas, concepts, and names are here for anyone to use, including companies. Plus, every name and place and such has some sort of origin that was "stolen".

No, it does not. Which is why everyone calls him CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

OT, I like the Latin names. It's pretty cool.

I think one of the better examples is the fact that there are two Crack Shot rules. There's one for the Dark Reaper exarch and another for Commander Pask in the IG codex. Two completely different rules, same name.

Manos Ferros leads the Iron Hands.

Every time someone mentions Manos Ferros I want to light something on fire. I mean, that's just fething lazy.
