I'll be honest: I have very little interest in Warhammer: The Old World. I didn't ever really get into Warhammer Fantasy Battles except for a small Empire army, and I was taking a hiatus from wargaming during the End Times and therefore missed out on The Big Disappointment.
And so as Games Workshop has been…
The question of whether Warhammer and Warhammer 40k are connected has been around since Warhammer 40k first emerged. And, in the beginning, it really looked like they were. Space Orks, Space Elves, Space Dwarves. But lore and canon have changed.
