* FanNickname:
** The Stormcast Eternals are often considered to be the ''Age of Sigmar'' version of Space Marines given the similarities existing between their fluff and model design (heavy armour with huge pauldrons), often using the term "Sigmarines" to refer to them. Given their non-spaceborne nature, they can also be hilariously referred to as "Ground Marines". The addition of some suspiciously bolter- and bolt pistol-like crossbow weapons to their arsenal (including a weapon known as a bolt''storm'' pistol), and the introduction of the Primaris Space Marines (whose PoweredArmor actually seems to have taken a few visual cues from Stormcast armour) to ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', haven't exactly helped to dispel the comparisons.
** Due to the similarities between the two armies, many players have called the Kharadron Overlords (a faction of steampunk flying pirate dwarfs) "Squats", after a discontinued ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' faction which consisted of dwarfs RecycledInSpace (literally in fact, as 40k started as Warhammer in Space, the discontinuity continued for a while but they were later confirmed to still exist but as individual survivors and descendants of such).
** Some call the game in general "Warhammer: New Coke".

** Before the not-Beastclaw Raiders Ogor units got their own Battletome, Gnoblars were just referred as "Grots". Come the Ogor Mawtribes battletome in late 2019, they got their old [=WHFB=] name back.

** Age Of Sigmar itself was a testbed for 8th edition Warhammer 40k, to see how the community would react to a complete overhaul to both the rules and lore. The less than lukewarm reaction to the first release (with the silly rules and whatnot) ended up causing a lot of things for that to change; specifically not nuking the setting, but still implementing drastic rule changes and including different levels of play.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The first printed material for the game referred to the faction that is now known as the Fyreslayers as the Red Slayers. Also, the first books (both the small one in the starter set and the big hardback one) mention the Ogre/Ogor Ironblaster as part of the Beastclaw Raiders faction, but at the end it was placed in the Gutbusters faction.
