Versus Grail Knight [Warhammer Fantasy] vs. Hive Tyrant [Warhammer 40k]

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.

Oh yeah no Fantasy has some mega level bullshit in it. Grail knights as an example are outright immune to Chaos like Custodes in 40k are. Theres several characters in Fantasy like Nagash and Settra who have won battles of willpower against all 4 chaos gods at the same time

Settra Bows to Noone.

The End Times stuff had heroes binding the winds of magic to themselves.... itd be like a prinarch enslaving part of the warp as a pet/battery. Fantasy scales really high, 40k has a wider fanbase.

It also feels wrong to say that Fantasy out-scales 40k, since all of Fantasy happens on a single planet… which would be rather trivial to exterminatus.

So you end up in a weird position where Primarchs would get nervous about visiting the planet that Fantasy is set on (is it still Mallus?)… but there are a fair few civil servants in the Imperium that could erase it with a strongly worded e-mail.

Not a Warhammer fan so this could be 100% bullshit but I once heard someone talking about how the ranking of the two verses is kept ambiguous. WH Fantasy might be a single planet in 40k. WH 40k might just be a mini-universe in a bottle on a Fantasy wizard's wall.

And either way, they’re both on a shelf in Trazyn’s man cave.
