EA explains the "WH40K" tanks in Tiberium Alliances

Electronic Arts has responded to accusations that the publisher was stealing designs of Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances' tanks from the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

The issue, Electronic Arts has pointed out, was that the images were concept art that were never intended to be seen.


According to an EA rep, "Games Workshop and EA are aware of the IP issues around the artwork in question, which have now been resolved. The artwork was internal EA concept art that was unintentionally released publicly. No Warhammer 40,000 tanks have ever made an appearance in Command and Conquer: Tiberium Alliances, and never will. Games Workshop and EA continue to have a strong relationship working together on Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and the new free to play game Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes which just entered open beta."

Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances is a free-to-play MMORTS that is currently in beta, and due to be released in 2012.

It is quite interesting why they would be creating this in the first place. Unless I am missing the point. But why put work in something that will never be seen... or in this case released (not that it was work... all of the ideas came from Warhammer 40k

Okay, EA got the attention of Games Workshop for a reason. Yet to hear what the real story behind all of this is.
