Besides, it works both ways; the Nids looked a lot different before the Zerg happened, as in they looked a lot less like the Zerg.

There are rumours (which both Blizzard and GW deny just a little too much) that Blizzard were acquiring the rights to make a 40K RTS but the agreement dropped off partway through development, so they watered down the product a little and altered the lore into what would eventually become Starcraft.

No, you want to see a true 40K ripoff: The Imperium of Strike Legion. Apart from a handful of things (such as the mass-produced Alex Mercer, the mass-produced X-Men, and their worst enemy being idealistic furry space America) these guys are basically the IOM with the serial numbers filed off. (Then again Strike Legion rips off so many sources that you hardly notice this at first.)
