Angry egyptian magic pharaoh returns (Nagash - Magnus). Than rotting Nurgle dude (Glottkin-Mortarion), than eldar and dark eldar start hating each other again, than...who's the rat-people of 40k?..

Well, Sisters of Battle would be the Brettonians, so Adeptus Mechanicus?

Well, Ad Mech are roughly Skaven, and Tyranids are roughly Lizardmen, so we'll get an Ad Mech/Tyranids showdown and it turns out that the 'nids are actually made by the Slann as a 'nuke it from space and start again' ploy?

Nah. The Skaven would totally be GSC.

As a Fantasy player it hits me too hard to laugh at. GW hates Fantasy (warhammer fantasy and their fans) should be the real caption.

Also consider skaven were like 2nd oldest book and had by far the worst FAQ ever. It was about an 8 page FAQ that didn't answer many issues and no End Times didn't improve balance issues but rather made them worse. They were a popular faction too. I once was in the store and like 8 people said that they'd played skaven at some point (was probably within a few years of GW burning fantasy to the ground too). It was nuts. Oh and balance was never as bad as 40k. As you might figure beastmen are like the chaos marines or orks of 40k. They were a very low tier book but the balance as i said was never as bad as 7th 40k.

Also of course GW hates france they're british. Just like they hate americans by killing Warhammer Fantasy on July 4th our independence day as a F you to americans.

Orks and nids fill the same area skaven did. Orks and skaven if united would overwhelm everything. Nids are the most numerous just like skaven. Genestealer cults with the mining equipment probably fill the biggest chunk skaven do though.

So an Ad Mech Genestealer Cult, with numerous gribblies appearing from the shadows while their compatriots snipe people with Warploc...I mean Galvanic Rifles...

Perfect!

Sounds convincing!

Yep, gsc indeed have something of the scaven aestetics. Ehh, somewhat.
