Not sure about DW, but GW had a suit against DemonBlade Games, over
thier
"Org" line.  They were using the old Grenadier K-Force Orcs, and GW took
exception to the castings.  The court battle ended in a deal, they'd
discontinue most of the K-Force lines (which was good, because they were
phasing those out anyway, as they really, really, sucked) and GW agreed
to
back off.  It looked like DB might have won and got damages for being
bothered by GW, but at the time it was a 2 man comany and they didn't
want
to take it that far.
