The connection, though, is "Ravenous horde of alien body-snatchers and thieves," "plucky humans fighting against superior odds and pulling through," and "high-tech aliens with powerful weapons but few in number."

That's like, 95% of sci-fi right there though. Throw in some 'magicial hippies in tune with nature' and 'genocidial death robots' and I think that you'll have covered pretty much everything.

Covenant are clearly Tau.
I mean, single dictator race brainwashes other races into joining the cause.
Heck, the arbiter and the prophets are commander farsight and the Ethereals.


Also marines are guardsmen just as Spartans are space marines.

Heh sure, I'll grant that-
and "high-tech aliens with powerful weapons but few in number."
> Covenant being few in number

Eldar, sure.  Protoss, yeah.  The Covenant??

Just, y'know, missing giant pauldrons that can literally be mistaken for their actual head.

Where was that clip again?

Reach just doesn't have the budget for pauldrons.


Also Eldar are forerunners.

Tack's right, Covenant are Tau.

And they're ultimately rip-offs in the same sense that a big chunk of fantasy is ripping off Tolkien: someone had a successful set of ideas so everyone fucking copies them and iterates on the copies instead of being creative.

Hell, the Flood are a lot closer to early 'nids than the Zerg.

I would just say that any fiction franchise which has underwent 50 years of new writers trying to come up with new ideas is going to end up having pretty much every facet locked down.
So when other people come up with new ideas they're almost guaranteed to exist somewhere else- and they're doubly more likely to come from a big/old franchise.

If any of the 40k factions were to visit our tiny blue planet, the Tau would arguably be the best and least likely to genocide us.

The glass people?
But they got murdered.


Also- IoM.
We'd just get registered, put under a governor and then they'd move on. (Y'know until the inquisition discovered we turned them into a wargame in which 1/3 of us play Xenos or chaos)

Except that a fairly large portion of the population would get heresyhammer'd for not worshipping the God-Emperor. Probably other things that the IoM frowns upon as well.

Wouldn't the IoM just get horribly confused running into a second terra though?

Terra of 38k years from now looks basically nothing like our Earth (I think the oceans are completely gone, for one thing), so I doubt it would even occur to them.
