I wouldn't pay much attention to BoLS, I once saw someone on there (during the orc release) who ranted for ages about how mantic stole the colour green from GW.
The site attracts a lot of major fanbois, who would rather not see anything mantic at all posted on the website (thankfully the site owners are much more open-minded about the content they put on there). Other non-GW companies often get slagged off on there as standard, because the regulars just do not want to see anything that isn't a space marine. This even extends to non-40k stuff that GW makes, looks like they're also currently having a fit over LotR getting a release month for the first time in 2 years.
There's a lot of people on there that aren't like that, but the ones that are speak louder.
Edit: I had a look out of curiosity, and someone is on there is making a claim that Mantic re-cast GW models to sculpt the Corporation. Typical bats
hit frootloop BoLS, heh.
