And where did Warhammer get the concept of Eldar? Hell, Warhammer didn't even change the damn name, Eldar, a.k.a. Star People. They were the elves, who coincidently are the Eldest Race on Middle Earth and also left their homes. Nit pick all you want, but if your memory goes far back enough, you'd realize that the "origins" of these things you say are ripped off, were actually ripped of to begin with.
A closer look at Warhammer shows that they "ripped off" D&D on countless occasions, lizard men, goblins etc.. etc... But if you look further back, MUCH of this stuff originated with Tolkein, but even he has roots in articles, nevermind Archetypes and the collective consiousness.
Do you guys really want to open this can of worms? Because all you're really doing is piling on, when ironically, your "origins" of concepts are really just rip-offs to start with. Honestly, guys, this is a can of worms that isn't worth opening. If my argument doesn't teach you, perhaps a few more years under your belt will
