I would like you guys to read my home-made lore to connect Fantasy and Age of Sigmar into the 40k universe and tell me your opinions and what do you think should be changed.
First of all, i want to specify that i am perfectly aware that both Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar are not connected in any real way to 40k. The lore i'll talk about in this post is purely invented for slags and giggles. In addition to that, i feel the need to say that most of the part about Fantasy is taken from a youtube video, though i'm not sure i can credit it or if it counts as spam.

Now, for my fan-made lore:

Sigmar, lost primarch of the II legion, lands on the planet Mallus, once a human colony, now regressed to a medieval level of technology.
The people of the planet believe Sigmar's capsule to be a two-tailed comet and consider it a good omen. Sigmar is adopted by king Bjorn of the Unberogen tribe.
Growing incredibly fast into a mighty warrior, Sigmar even manages to save Kurgan Ironbeard, leader of a squats' mining squad, known by the people of the planet as "dwarves". To thank the human warrior, Kurgan gifts him a powerful thunder-hammer, called by the squats "Ghal Maraz", or "Skull-Splitter".
Eventually Sigmar starts his plan to unite all of the human tribes, creating the human Empire. Meanwhile he fights the armies of Chaos worshippers, warp-mutated beast-men, warbands of feral orks, the maddened ogres and their "Great Maw" god, eldar exodites (known as "elves" by the natives) and the armies of Nagash, a psyker powerful enough to become an immortal lich and re-animate an army of undead under his command.

Eventually the fleet of the Imperium of Man arrives on the planet and enter in contact with the squats' HQ, which orbits around the planet. Learnt everything they need, the Emperor and the two sons he had found so far, Horus Lupercal of the luna wolves and Leman Russ of the space wolves, reach the planet's surface. Sigmar accepts to join the fleet of the Imperium. The human population interpret all of this as Sigmar's ascension to godhood and all of the Empire starts venerating its new God.
Sigmar meets his legion and decides to rename his sons the "stormcasts eternals", an army of astartes clad in golden armor with blue shoulder pads, decorated with the symbol of a warhammer emitting lightnings.
Eventually it becomes clear that Sigmar is somewhat insane, as it keeps preaching about the incoming "End-Times", a massive war that Sigmar, as he claims, is destined to win, marking his ascension to godhood.
Trying to find an explanation for Sigmar's condition, the Emperor and Malcador discover the presence of an eldar portal located on one of the planet's poles. The portal is clearly damaged and is basically "leaking" small but costant doses of warp energy, causing the majority of the creatures on the world, such as trolls and dragons. Malcador also hears from the natives stories about the "neverborn", also called "demons". Luckily for Big E, he convinces Malcador that the so-called demons are nothing but xenos mutated by the warp energies.

Sometimes later, shortly after the recovery of Roboute Guilliman, primarch of the ultramarines' legion, the Emperor is warned that Sigmar's flagship, the "Celestial Dragon", has reached the home-world of the mad primarch and is releasing drop-pods over its surface. Witnesses claim that Sigma had fallen into madness, shouting that the End-Times had started and brutally killing all those who showed doubt about his statements. After that, Sigmar had taken the most loyal of his stormcast eternals and had descended on his planet. On the surface, a messive battle had started, involving every creature that lived on the world.

Saddened, the Emperor orders the bombardment of the whole planet, breaking Mallus under the massive fire-power of the imperial fleet. When Horus questions his father about his decision, the Emperor explains that Sigmar was a man broken in mind, a flawed creation, and that to let him live as a broken man would have been more cruel than to end him. He would have never achieved the godhood that he wished so much.
After that, the Emperor ordered that all records of the 2nd legion were to be deleted and that Sigmar was to be forgotten by everyone. The sormcast eternals that survived and accepted the Emperor's edict were integrated into the ultramarine legion.

However, unknown by all, several inhabitants of Sigmar's world managed to survive the bombardment by taking refuge into the webway portal. Those survivors were lead by the squats Grugni and Grimnir, A mighty ork calling himself Gorkamorka and claiming to be the very incarnation of the orkish gods, the powerful Nagash, the eldar exodites Tyrion Teclis and Alarielle, and, leading them all, there was none other than Sigmar Heldenhammer.
Not knowing the nature of that misterious space and desperate to save themselves, the survivors accepted to work with Sigmar. The primarch met and befriended Dracothion, the leader of the dracoth and star-drake races, reptilian creatures living inside the webway. Dracothion helped the survivors in the creation of what they will call the "Mortal Realms", eight worlds within the webway where they could live. Dracothion even managed to recover the core of the planet Mallus and place it in the sky of Azyr, the realm of Sigmar.
It takes ten thousand years to complete the creation of the realms.
However, peace soon came to an end as the leaders of the various races, now considered gods by their followers for building the realms, started pursuing their own objectives:
Tyrion wanted to find and kill Slaanesh, the Chaos God who tormented his people; Gorkamorka was bored by peace and declared the start of a new waagh!; Nagash sought to rule alone.
It also dind't help that Grimnir, one of the few ally left to Sigmar, died during his battle with Vulcatrix, the mother of all salamanders.

The Gods of Chaos eventually discovered the realms within the webway and ordered their daemon hordes to destroy them. The appearance of the ynnari and their plan to destroy Slaanesh convinces the prince of excess to concentrate more on the material realm, apperently disappearing from the mortal realms within the webway. A minor god, the Horned Rat, started an assult against the mortal realms, in the attempt to acquire more power and prestige between the chaos gods. Besieged by the daemonic hordes, Sigmar sealed the realm of Azyr from the rest of the webway and started researching the geneseed of the stormcast eternals, the few remaining with Sigmar fallen during the first assault of Chaos.
After a century of studies, Sigmar finally managed to recreate the process to create astartes and, with his reinvigorated legion, Sigmar starts the re-conquer of the mortal realms.


And with that my fan-made lore it's over. Sorry for the story's lenght but i had to explain a lot of stuff. So, what do you guys think about it? What is fine and what should be changed? Let's keep this dialogue serious and constructive, and let's hear what do you have to say about it.

You posted this in the 40K section, lad.

That was unnecessarily condescending.

No thank you.

I know. I thought this was more adequate to post in the 40k section since the whole thing i wrote is about Fantasy and AOS interpreted as part of 40k's universe.

Do i have to guess that you have no suggestion to make it better?

Pretty sure I saw a video like this on youtube some months back.

Yes, i know. As i said in the post itself, most of the part about Fantasy is taken, with slight changes, from a youtube video. I did not credit directly the author of the video and his channel because i'm not sure if it would count as spam.
