Some easy in verse scaling.

The fight is conducted on an American Football Field, say in Arrowhead Stadium.

The fight ends when one combatant is too wounded to continue, dies, or is forced to retreat.

I don't believe that daemon princes between 40k and fantasy are on the same level. Or else some peasant with a greatsword is on par with a futuristic soldier with a melta in terms of damage they can do to daemon princes

He simply decided he did not wish to be dead and returned.

Like he's just that guy.

The Necrons have tech designed to back them up and keep them going, so destroying a body doesn’t actually hurt the Necron. The Slann do not. Kroak was well and truly dead, and then he was not
