Blizzard struck a deal with Games Workshop to create a a PC version of the "Warhammer" table top miniatures game. After completing work on the game, the deal fell through, and Blizzard, left with unfinished and unpaid work on Warhammer, created "WarCraft". WarCraft's factions of Orcs and Trolls versus Dwarves and Elves bears many similarities to the Warhammer factions. This does not explain the correlations between Warhammer 40,000 and StarCraft however. For example, the Zerg and the alien hive mind Tyranids of 40K look similar and are nearly identical in concept, and Space Marines are literally named the same in both games. In "WarCraft III", if you repeatedly click a griffon rider he will say "This Warhammer cost 40K", 40K being a shortening of 40,000.
