I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I've heard that it was Warcraft that was supposed to be a Warhammer licensed game but I don't believe it. I don't know what the armies looked like at the time when Warcraft 1 was being designed, but the Humans certainly don't look like anything in 5th Ed - TOW.

StarCraft is clearly inspired by WH40k, but it came out after they should have resolved any licensing issues with Warcraft.

I looked into it this morning because I was curious and it's all very blurred lines. However apparently Blizzard and GW do have an agreement about allowed content going forward so something happened between them.

It's like... There's only so many ways to draw a space marine but Terran marines are clearly Space Marines, right? And the Zerg and Tyranids are just too similar for it to be a coincidence.
