I am a big fan of 40k and I also play a little warhammer fantasy. In warhammer fantasy I play with Lizardmen and have read most of their codex which constantly mentions the "Old ones" their gods. In a recent warhammer 40k article I read it mentioned the Old ones who apparently created the eldar. In the lizardmen codex it also says they were created by the Old ones as well. I was wondering if these "Old ones" are the same and actually the two universes are linked. And that somewhere in the 40k universe there is a primitive world that is the earth in Warhammer fantasy.

In the past, GW had made that link explicit. It's been retconned of late and the two are separate (or at least not overtly linked). But way back in the day, the WHFB world was a part of the 40k universe. And, for what it's worth, at one point the Slann *were* the Old Ones vice just being thier earilest creations.

It was also heavily hinted back when that Sigmar was a lost Primarch

I think that's pretty cool and makes a lot of sense. It explains how sigmar was so powerful. Although I don't think you could have the Slann as the old ones though.
