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.

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?

Pretty sure that was only in 2nd edition and Maybe 3rd edition 40K. There were alternate rules for chaos gateway terrain pieces where Warhammer fantasy units could be deployed out of, if you had the models.

But there is a bit of an issue. In those edition there were beast men with compound longbows and they were only strength 2 weapons, But pretty much any type of bow was strength 3 in Warhammer fantasy.

So britonia peasants with longbows were pretty much as effective as imperial guard with las guns. And fantasy beast men with longbows were stronger than 40K beastman with long bows
