Actually my answer to that would be yes.
If warcraft hadnt been such a success and had floated away in obscurity then Warhammer would have nothing to worry about. But Warcraft is on the throne right now and all the "public" (that dont know the back story between the companies) see is a Warcraft "Rip-off". Those of us that know the story about Blizzard are in the light, but most people dont.
So it would be better if they had maybe gone with the Warhammer 40,000 theme or something, because its just going to be real hard to shake the reputation of being a "Warcraft Copy".
So if I was in the developers shoes I would put my recources into something that didnt so closely resemble a powerhouse that is out already. People will just compare you to it. Even if it meant changing a design I created.
Take the awesome creativity they used to come up with the warhammer universe, (which was actually created by Tolkien but we wont open that can of worms) and make something just as good but "different".
