So I recall awhile back, I wrote a thread (on a different forum) about a possible connection with both 40k and fantasy timelines:

The 'age of strife' in 40k (warp storms, birth of slaanesh, apocalypse kinda stuff over the entire galaxy- chaos comes to play) lasted 5-7 Millenia and 'The Fall' (Warp Gateways collapsing, chaos comes to play) in Fantasy lasted approx 5 millennia.

So what can we glean from this info as possible connections between the two universes?

1. Each has about the same chunk of time.
2. Both events featured an overbleed of psychic energy within each realm, causing manifestations of the warp to rain on everyone's parade.

One extra thing to throw in, is that by the time each event calmed down, that in 30k, the Emperors children (the Primarchs) were taken by chaos and dispersed over the galaxy, each landing on worlds in capsules. Then in fantasy, again after things subsided, there is a comet seen in the sky (capsule?) and Sigmar is 'born'. Could Sigmar be a primarch??

I know there are a few inconsistencies with Sigmar being a primarch - primarily from Black Library writers - but when ignoring them, it does seem like a fun theory, at least in my mind. After all, I recall reading something that indicated that Sigmar single handedly destroyed an Orc army (before BL canon).... Sounds primarch'ish to me.

Whenever I float this idea around, I get some heat from the Fantasy fandom - bent on asserting that there is a barrier between universes because some GW employee said so. So please understand, for those who are ready to preach the word from the supposed GW prophet.... He's one dude who could have been expressing opinion - just like me

Thoughts?

Although it's possible that the Realm of Chaos exists "between" (and I use the word betweeb in a loose sense as there's no real direction) the two in-game universes. It is usually completely denied or officially frowned upon so it's bot likely you'll be seeing Eldar giving High Elves funny looks any time soon!


We would have had it if the darned Skavens didn't blew the inter-stellar vox box apart...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/633533/7550052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/633533/7550052.page GMT
