1* ExecutiveMeddling: Following on the renaming of [[{{TabletopGame/Warhammer40000}} Imperial Guard to Astra Militarum]], all of ''Warhammer's'' non-human factions have been renamed so as to be easier to trademark and major character Malekith has been renamed Malerion without an in-universe story for it, other than that he merged with his Black Dragon Seraphon (confusingly also the new faction name of the Lizardmen) with a portmanteau making Malerion.
2* ReferencedBy: ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' used a modified miniature of Nagash for their final battle against Vecna.
3* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
4** Early books had some discrepancies to what the final game actually was:
5*** Fyreslayers were initially known as "Red Slayers".
6*** Bonesplitterz Wardokks were called "Juju Doks"
7*** The Ironblaster was originally mentioned as a Beastclaw Raider unit rather than a Gutbuster one.
8*** Promotional pictures implied that Cairn Wraiths and Warrior Priests were changed from being played as standalone heroes to 5-men troops, but the actual rules had them as heroes from the beginning.
9** ''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.
10** 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.
