Power armour,power fist, ripper, man axe, so wheres my bolter and chain sword? I suppose the minigun and the shock sword will do. I take it some of the devs are are fans of the warhammer universe? I suppose a fair few of you have already noticed the similarity in the items I've mentioned, I myself am a late comer to the WH universe, just finished the first two books of the Horus Heresey trilogy, loved them. Gives me an idea for my next play through of Mothership Zeta. For the Emporer ,die xeno scum!

Yeah because none of that stuff or ideas existed before Warhammer 40K right?

No not really, it's a comparison which people often make but believe it or not Warhammer 40k did not create power armour, pneumatic fist and chainsaw blades.

Space marines were invented by EE (doc) Smith in the 1950s. So far the only thing GW has invented in either WH40k or WHFB is Orcs being green rather than Tolkien Black, though they mispell them as Orks

Fallout is a bit Warhammer 40000. Which is cool. Warhammer is awesome.

I first played it and expected chaos forces to appear when I saw the BoS, lol.

I'm sorry if I've gone about off on the wrong tangent there. I presumed that the WH universe was around before the FO universe, wrongly now it seems. Any way its still all good, right ? I suppose the adage " theres no such thing as an original idea " covers all the bases in this instance. **** and corruption best do some research before I make anymore posts, would'nt want to upset anyone else!

Warhammer 40,000 was around before Fallout, it just didn't invent any of the stuff you're talking about.

I'm pretty sure green Orcs were invented in Dungeons & Dragons. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, I realise that now. My sincere apologies for not being aware of that. Can you forgive me for my transgression please? And can we drop the subject, thanks. I feel really, really stupid enough now.
