Making products that are similar to existing products is called....... Competition? Its also a damn good thing because when a company has a monopoly (or foolishly and ignorantly believes they have a monopoly even as their fanbase leaks away) they are able to price products however they want and reduce the quality of their products without worrying about losing sales.
I have considered several times to write a series of articles uncovering the source material GW relied on in creating their armies.But every time I realize that it would not be worth the effort and that it would bring me nothing but grief, both from GW fanboys and people aggressively pointing out things I might have forgotten or simply might have been unaware of.That said, I generally like what GW has done with their source material and I don't have a problem with Mantic doing their own take on things. I find the reproach that Mantic are just copying GW pompous and shortsighted, especially when you consider that many, many companies that have tried to enter the tabletop market with more original concepts have had to close doors shortly after because too few people were willing to invest in something new.

Sorry dude, unless there's more to that story, I've got no sympathy (in the same way I deserve no sympathy for the pain of cleaning up this shitcast mini when I should have returned it - the fault is mine).
