What's the point of Age of Sigmar being a seperate game if it's just guns and power armour and space and chaos gods and shit anyway?
Unify all settings, the Warhammer Fantasy world was just 1 world in the 40k universe and some mumbo jumbo about it being trapped in a single unique warp storm that isolated it from everywhere else and so on and so forth
Age of Sigmar was just a warpstorm dream

>>96015751 (OP)
For the same reason why you couldn’t keep this in the general.

>>96015751 (OP)
Because you couln't give Dwarves none hammers/axes weapons without people crying about how it dosn't fit the lore in WHFB

If I remember right, the plan was going to be that the Warhammer Fantasy world was what the Imperium would classify as a a feudal world, but the setting took place during the Age of Strife, before the Great Crusade. And the original plan for ending Warhammer Fantasy was going to be the Great Crusade arriving and bringing the world into the Imperium.

>>96016956
That would have been an insanely based end times ngl, they should have gone with that.

>Epic final battle with all the races
>Everything is going horribly, the world is burning, Rats are everywhere
>Suddenly something large and horrible erupts from the sky
>Someone decided to tear off the warp fuckery covering the planet
>dozens of ships so large that you can see them in space from ground level
>Orbital bombardment commences wiping out all the rats, a couple thousand order races, etc.
>Drop pods rain from the sky, gigantic hulking chaos looking motherfuckers emerge from within killing everyone
>Swarms of humans also land and start murdering everyone
>Thousand Sons or some other Psyker shit clears out the warp fuckery
>Endless Space style cameos in 40k where Warhammer fantasy characters show up in space stations and shit

HELL fucking no, keep them seperated. Think of AoS what you want but at least they are free from endless, all-overshadowing marine wank. Over there, Sigmarines are just one faction among many, not to be all end all behemoth that drowns out every other faction

Last thing the IP needs is for marine wank to spread even further.

>>96016990
Yeh but one was inspired by the British affinity for the endless sea and other by Starcraft

No
Kill yourself

>>96016990
thing is, Votann look gay as fuck, no appeal at all. Steampunk dwarf with iron dwarven masks, i can get behind

>>96017495
I mean they are nice, I just dislike the balloons personally

>>96017648
They work great on vehicles imo, but might be a bit too large when used as jetpacks

>Space Marines but fantasy heh
>Votann but fantasy heh
>Necrons but fantasy heh
>Imperial Guard but fantasy heh
>also let's take a unit from a WHF faction and make it into a whole army haha, actually let's do that for multiple armies heh
>here's your Age of Sigmar bro
Its pathetic how devoid of creativity GW were/are when it came to AoS.

>muh hecking marvel multiverse
Thats the most gay shit and hate that faggots still want that

>>96016865
I don't know, in many fantasy stories, dwarves are described as a mining/steampunk society.
Would it really be weird to see steampunk dwarves in fantasy?

>>96017754
Faggot that shit has nothing to do with eachother.
Marvel has iterations of the same thing. You don't see Noir Emperor, or Evil Emperor or Emperor, but every human is a chicken.
GW has literally never done this

>>96016956

To my knowledge there was no original plan for ending the game/setting and if there were it certainly wasn't this. Source or you're talking out of your ass

>>96017648
meh, if the Mechanicus has done sillier, I don't see anything wrong with the balloonpacks.

>>96016956

Why wiped out by the Imperium? You could have had;
A tyranid hive fleet arrive and all the WHF races die fighting off swarms of bugs and toxin laden environment.
Orks invade in a great WAAAGH, attacking wizard and warp magic defended castles with gargants, Old World cavalry engaged in wars of maneuver against swarms of buggys, giants and dragons fighting battlewagons and killer kans, etc
Tau arrive and makes friends with everyone, uniting them for the Greater Good.
Necrons rise up from hidden tombs and go to war against Vampires and Tomb King armies.
Eldar arrive through warp gates and join up with their lost brethren.
It could have been epic. I can see why they didnt though, 1st ed Rogue Trader used pretty much the same rule sets as WHFB and the two where compatible - by the time of the great squatting though, the two had systems had been powercreeped and mutated in different ways so much that any attempt to match the two would have had the tournament autist screeching at the heavens.

>Eldar arrive through waep gates and join up with their lost bretheren

Yknow i've always wondered if they really were the same species, the Elves just seem so different from the Eldar, they're like to the Eldar what a fuckin cro-magnon would be to us or something.

>>96015751 (OP)
To be fair, there would be an intriguing avenue of exploration for Eldar and elves to both exist in the setting and NOT be the same thing with elves being closer-related to humanity in spite of worshiping the same pantheon as the Eldar.

>>96025739
Honestly that'd be hilarious; Eldar turning up and the Elves try to 'cousin!' them; only for the Eldar to reject them as 'primitive mon-keigh'. To add insult to injury, the Imperium could then recognise Warhammer Elves as an abhuman strain rather then Xenos.

>>96030547
The look on their faces would be amazing lol

>>96015751 (OP)
At any given point in time one game will play better than the other (usually 40k is worse) so I can play the one I prefer.

>>96017657
So you're saying that the fantasy marine box that didn't sell according to expectations is proof of... What, fantasy marines being exceptionally popular and/or pushed over other factions?
