I feel like I've mostly heard about people talking about W40k being influenced by (or "ripping off") Starcraft and not the reverse.

- rprasad 14y agoW40k was the primary inspiration for Starcraft (W40k has been around since the 80s), and the company that owned it was in talks with Blizzard for an RTS game based on the IP. However, when that deal fell through, Blizzard expanded their sources of inspiration to include more popular Sci Fi sources, i.e., Aliens. and Starship Troopers.
