So the Emperor is actually Sigmar, Sigmarites are proto-Thunder Warriors and everything in Fantasy and AoS is just a prequel to 40k ?
So the Emperor is actually Sigmar...
Lord almighty no.
AoS is actually farther from 40k than Warhammer Fantasy was.
> All-powerful godlike figure gather around him people in heavy mechanized armor to purge worlds from corruption and chaos
Yeah, that sounds really far from 40k
Lorewise.
The old WH:FB had small things dropped throughout that implied they could exist in the same universe. Orcs arriving on space ships, Sigmar arriving on a comet or some such, and of course the Old Ones existing in both settings as pretty much the same race. But the End Times basically stamped that whole thing out by saying the entire universe was devoured by Chaos, and that the AoS universe is multiverse where space is filled with ether and a lot of worlds are actually just flat.
I refuse to recognize AOS or End Times as cannon.
> One tiny planet lose to Chaos
> ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS LOST
End Times is so shit.
Actually 40k too because if Chaos has such trouble taking over a single galaxy, it's gonna be hard to destroy the universe
Well, the Chaos gods are just really powerful warp aliens in 40k and their dominion stops at the edge of our galaxy. I'm sure other galaxies would have their own equivalents. Maybe even stronger ones, or more peaceful galaxies might have gods of order or something.
What AoS should have been is Empire vs Skaven, Elves fucking about with eachother as they are wont to do, Orcs n Goblins vs dwarves, Tomb Kings vs Vampire counts and Chaos vs Lizardmen. And everyone else in between fucking up and fighting everyone else anyway. Bretonnia is off fighting wood elves or something, fuck if I know. They get ignored all the time anyway.
Chaos isn't a universal force. It only exists because of the collective psychic energy of humans and eldar.
It's basically just the byproduct of two galactic civilizations, that grew wildly out of control.
don't you get that chaos is a meta entity?
affecting things only in relation to observers?
the efforts it takes to take over the galaxy, or the world, or the universe, are usually the same because it reacts accordingly to the opposition or the focus of the setting.
