I'm pretty sure they are a justified rip off. Iirc Blizzard was tasked with making proper WH and WH40K PC games when Games Workshop pulled the rug, and rather than waste assets they pivoted and molded the work into their own IPs. There's definitely Warhammer blood in both.
Kinda like how Nintendo screwing over Sony (Phillips CDi history) jump started one of their biggest rivals.
This is aside from the agreed point that generally IP protection is a fuck.
