Your argument against ripping off Warhammer is that they actually ripped off the gameplay of Dune 2 while also ripping off the Warhammer art style?

You're putting words into my mouth; I never argued that.
What I argued is that A) none of the games on Shovel's list actually copied the IP of the other (only THJ did that), and B) in the specific case of Warhammer, they did not at any point set out to make a copy of Warhammer.
Their main artist was big fans of Warhammer art (and was heavily inspired by it), and their director at one point emailed GW because he thought skinning the game with Warhammer would make it sell better. But neither of those things make Warcraft a "Warhammer knockoff" (at worst it makes it a game with heavily "knocked off" art on the box) ... nor make this true:

I’m certain if you put images of Warcraft and images of Warhammer side-by-side in a courtroom, especially in the 1990s , a jury of people would say that’s IP infringement..
