Graphics remind me of WAR

First off, I've been playing this since Open Beta started and I'm loving it. If you're going to go for a generic fantasy quest grinder, this might as well be your game. A solid replacement for my previous WoW addiction.
However, there's one thing that's been niggling at me. a lot of people keep saying that the graphics / playstyle are very reminiscent of WoW, and while I can agree to an extent, for the first time I'm actually reminded more of WAR than anything in terms of visuals.
For example: the elven starting area. High ranking elves wear the same kinds of armor designs as what you'd see in the Warhammer universe. All of the designs on their decorations / statues are extremely similar as well.
That's just one niggling thought. There's a whole bunch of other things that really just make me think of WAR. Throw in some PQs and you've got the contender with better PvE.
Am I the only one who sees the ressemblance?

Now when you mention it I couldn't agree more.
I believe that PWI has consiously tried to design some of the races in a more "western" artstyle, in an attempt to appeal to an American/European audieance more. It definitely seems inspired by Warhammer; that was the first thing I thought when I saw those dwarves.
