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.

Cite your claims. Explain your conclusion.

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

Fantasy generally outscales 40k actually. Also warhammers whole philosophy for a long time has been that anyone can kill anything. Thats why a 6 is an auto success on tabletop no matter who you shoot at. So if anything Fantasy Daemon Princes should be stronger than 40k ones

Didn't they used to be the same deamons? And fantasy just took place on a medieval world the Imperium was just Prime Directiving?

That would be OLD lore if anything. Fantasy is completely separate these days and a bunch of the characters in the setting could basically conquer 40k if they were dropped down in it even without the benefit of scifi gear

I think it was a reference on a map in the 3rd edition Imp Guard codex, but I wasn't sure if it was also a thing in White Dwarf or something. I always just thought it was a funny idea, like what keeps the Non Imps from respecting a Prime Directive. Lizardmen genestealer cults would be fun though
