** 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.
** 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.

* 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 [[NamesTheSame 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.

* 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.
** The hardback book also referred to the Savage Orruk/Bonesplitterz Shamans as Juju Doks, but when their battletome came out they were renamed Wardokks.
