I have been arguing for years that the 'old world' of Warhammer Fantasy was a planet in the 40 universe, with little luck. Now I reassert this mad claim with the drip drip of hints out of the Black Library. This from the Ebook Kaldor Draigo: Knight of Titan.

Spoiler:

Add to this a Draigo spotting in the last End Times book. I don't have a quote but this was talked about in a Front Line gaming podcast. At 40:27 in https://www.frontlinegaming.org/2015/01/13/signals-from-the-frontline-warhammer-40k-and-general-gaming-news-rumors-tactics-and-comedy-65/

I know this is not enough proof for most but i think it is clear. So, who wins? Draigo or Archaon. Draigo or Nagash? Some one should play this out...

**Iron_Captain**

The matter would be simple: Nagash is immortal, Draigo is not. Draigo vs Archaon would also be simple as Draigo has all kinds of hyper-advanced magic future stuff equipment whereas Archaon just has to make do with good old steel.
Nonetheless, this is mad indeed, for it has long been established that 40k and whfb do not take place in the same fictional universe. The timelines are not compatible, unless the Old Ones in 40k somehow survived until after the birth of Slaanesh in M30.

Mortarion was immortal, too. Didn't stop Draigo from carving his name into his heart.

Nagash should win Draigo. Warhammer Fantasy is practically a 40K Daemon World with all the Warp Magic just floating around, so with Nagash being the best of the best at Death Magic, you'd imagine he'd know a way to snuff out just about anyone, Reinforced Aegis or not.

Archaeon would be a better fight, but Draigo should win, being a thousand year old Psyker Templar Knight with future Tech and all.

The Heart of Mortarion audiodrama retconned that event so Draigo actually lost the fight. He "killed" Morty by effectively poking him in the eye with psyker abilities, then ripped his daemon name from his mind and banished him. Had he not pulled that trick, he would have immediately been crushed.

And Nagash would wreck Morty. IIRC he has something like the ability to kill people with a simple glance.

**Deadshot**

Nagash has some seriously OP levels of fluff. He feths up everything simply by existing. Nothing mortal has a chance and nothing undead can oppose him and nothing divine is going to crush him easily like in 40k. IIRC, Nagash in WHFB is as strong as the Dark Gods? Yeah, even Draigo levels of plot armour have no hope.

Archaeon? Pfft. Super-force sword beats steel armour. Stormbolter beats horse. Terminator Armour beats magic sword. Storm Shield beats magic sword. Draigo beats plot. Draigo smash Archaeon.
