I dont kow if any of you guys are WHFB players aswell. ?(if not, why not? ?Its far superior to 40K)
Anyway, with the many similarities between the two systems, I like to consider the warhammer world actually resides within the 40K galaxy. ?I know a lot of gamers hate this theory, and I dont really care, since its up to the individual what they believe.
In case you dont know much about it, the warhammer world has a collapsed warp gate at its polar regions. ?This was apparantly created ?by the Old Ones, but a great catastrophy occured which resulted in its destruction (the gates) and the release of chaos into the world. ?I am going from memory here, so don't smite me down if I am getting things slightly wrong.
What is weird, is the fact that the world contains so many different races. ?To which I have a personal theory.
Now what if the warhammer world is in the 40K future? ?As far as the 40K universe goes, its looking pretty grim. ?The human/Eldar race is being assualted from all fronts (cannons to the left of them, canons to the front etc...) ?With the Tyranids approaching from the east, the C'tan reamerging, the threat of chaos available to assault from anywhere, and the constant threat of other races.
Now, what if it were decided that the Eldar were fighting a losing (or any other race really) battle. ?There was no way they could survive the onslaught of the Tyranids consuming every world for instance.
So, they find a world and colanise it, with the intent of reamerging once the dangers have passed. They leave the warp gates open at first, allowing them to pass any resources needed. ?Other races hear of this 'safe' world, and dispatch their own colanists. ?Anyway, the Eldar then cut it off from the rest of the galaxy with warpstorms, ensuring that none of their enemies can ever reach them. However, some how the warp tunnels are damaged and collapse, not only cutting off the world, but allowing chaos a way in. ?With no guiding forces, and the world not ready, the colanists fall into a state of 'savages' (cant think of the word I'm after). ?Over thousands of years, the origins of the world and races become clouded in myth and legend.
Now this is a (very) rough version of my theory. ?I haven't gone through it to explain contradictions that may arise. ?Its just a possibility, that I can use. ?The recent items found on the island of Albion too (items remarkably similar to 40K wargear) back this up. ?Though these items are actually shunned by fantasy players.
All this means that, if I wanted too, I could introduce a Wraith Lord into my games of fantasy!!!!!! ? ? ? ?
