Exactly where their IP rights over 'stealer imagery starts and ends is a question that would have to be determined by a judge, of course.  Generally speaking, small companies like Heresy get a C&D letter form the GW legal department and, not having the financial clout of GW, they sensibly cave in.

I feel moved to add, though, that GW's attitude is rarely one of pantomime villain, demanding this and that.  Generally speaking, they prefer to point out the elements of concern and make suggestions as to how the other manufacturer could consider altering their design in order to satisfy GW that no challenge to their IP was intended.

This was what happened with JMD miniatures' daemoness model and with Ultraforge's plague daemon.  I believe it might have been a similar case with Heresy's cyclopean blight daemons.
