Blatent Game Plagiarism=hilarity

The official inspiration for Warhammer 40,000 was Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. In regards to the Tyranids being inspired by the Xenomorph from Alien (which I actually watched just an hour before seeing your post), the lifecycle for the Xenomorph is as different as Night and Day from Tyranids. Alien: Queen lays eggs Egg hatches to Facehugger Facehugger implants Embryo Embryo matures, explodes from host's chest Grows to full size within hours ?? Profit! Tyranids exist to consume all genetic material in the universe and do so on a planetary scale Tyranids: The appearance of some Tyranids could be inspired by Alien however.
