I get that Warhammer 40K is just everything cool in sci-fi during the 1980s. But what's the ripoff of Predator, Star Trek, and Ghostbusters?

Lictors are predator.
And as for the rest GW didn't go through a checklist of every pop culture sci-fi thing to make sure they referenced everything.
>>46309806
Tyranid Lictors and Eldar Striking Scorpions can take on Predator influences, but it depends on the writer. Star Trek showed up as that Interex thing in the Horus Heresy, or so it seems. Ghostbusters haven't really shown up anywhere, though you could make a case for Ordo Malleus in the worst way.

Hardly.

>who you gonna call?
The beast of solomon is a predator replacement in one of the interpretations. Some of the ordo malleus equipment are some blatant ghost busters rippofs.
Startrek does not really fit the tone of the came
Catachan are basically a whole planet of dudes from Predator.
They are all muscly men in muscle shirts, walking through a hellish jungle being assailed by alien monsters

You could make the case that the STCs are just replicators from Star Trek, but that's a bit of a stretch.

They're clearly Rambo.
>>46310308
Sly Marbo definately is. I think Harkness(?) is supposed to be Jesse Ventura from Predator though.

"Sly" is Stallone's nickname.
"Marbo" is a play on Rambo.
Confirmed through two different GW employees.
So how is he Jesse Ventura's character in Predator?
