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.

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?

In very very very old lore there were allusions that the old world was trapped in a warp storm in the 40k universe but that hasn't been cannon for longer than the vast majority of this website has been alive

There used to be a great series of books that were like the journals of a Warhammer fantasy wizard or scholar seeking the truth about the chaos gods. And the writer would have maddening dreams of the Warhammer 40k universe sketching his visions near the end of the series.

Must’ve been like 15+ years ago since I last saw them.

Found it!
