Article Calls out Space Marine for "Ripping Off" Gears of War

Isn't Doom Guy a shooter space marine fighting off ugly monsters? He even had a chainsaw. He must have been ripping off Gears.
It's a Chaos Lord Combi Bolter. I think this one was around 4th edition.WaaghPowa said:That looks like an old Chaos Marine piece, design kinda makes me think so.Soviet Heavy said:Actually.... there is. Yep, Gears of War didn't even think that one up.JJMUG said:
That isn't fanmade, that is an official combi bolter created by Games Workshop.JJMUG said:

Granted this one is a combi melta, but it is still a licensed product.
I....I don't even......Seriously????? That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've read all month!Soviet Heavy said:
I facepalm'd the minute he said that this was "not research-backed journalism." Congratulations you idiot, your article and your opinion is now invalid because you don't know what you're talking about. Still it was a nice read to see someone not familiar with Warhammer assume it to be a Gears rip off only on the shear virtue of popularity of the medium.
Well that quote in particular was from a sarcastic person in the comments calling him out on his bullshit article.Darth_Dude said:
Gears claiming someone ripped them off on their space marine idea is like Vanilla Ice saying someone stole the music from Ice Ice Baby.
The picture you showed was a Chaos Space Marine bolter with a chain sword attached to it. I have not seen that in a box of Chaos Space Marines.Soviet Heavy said:
Edit: There are Chaos Terminator storm bolters with the chainsaw, i never used termis in my 500 pt chaos list. Just Death Guard, all in the scared number of nurgle.
It's just as sad as seeing how Games Workshop ripped off Starcraft...

It's just sad to see people getting angry over something they clearly do not have the required amount of knowledge to make a clear argument about.

I was in the middle of editing it when it decide to crash. No I just ran a kill team of Death Guard. I shelved my Chaos recently for Guard just got a shipment of Kerigers in.Soviet Heavy said:Do you have a Chaos Terminator Box? Because that is where its from.JJMUG said:
It never even clicked that that was a termi arm for some reason.
Nice. I always wanted to grab a box of Krieg Granadiers, I love their models.JJMUG said:I was in the middle of editing it when it decide to crash. No I just ran a kill team of Death Guard.
