    Tolkien did not make up his myths on his own, he used already created works, but that’s fine because every single author does this to some extent

    to further this point: the 8 realms is just Odin and friends. Sigmar is just odin now.

    Tolkien borrowed a lot to build his world, but then he told an original and engaging story with it. That's the difference between Tolkien's fiction and Warhammer Fantasy, the latter recycled worldbuilding material to tell recycled stories and there was rarely any stakes or engagement. It was a cool enough world to tell your own stories in if you played WHFRP but the metaplot was incredibly stagnant.

     

    Also Sigmar is not Odin. If he is any Norse god, he is maybe Baldr. Ulric would be a closer Odin analogue.

    I just keep snickering every time because the champion in that warband has third arm hidden in his robe

    I'm 99% sure that this is a Babylon 5 reference. One alien species has big fan hairdos like this helmet and in one episode you find out the main character from that species is using a small 3rd arm to cheat in a card game.
