Some official GW merchandise has supported this theory, though it remains non-canon. One fan theory holds that the Old World is actually a planet in the WH40K galaxy, but cut off by warp storms or otherwise isolated. Think of it as Warhammer in space, though it has grown over the years into a distinct and very different game, and has become much more popular than Warhammer, at least in the United States. There is also a science fiction tabletop miniatures wargame set in a universe having much in common with WHFB: Warhammer 40,000, generally known simply as "40K". Lovecraft for good measure, then you would have found something similar to Warhammer. Tolkien, Michael Moorcock's Elric, Conan the Barbarian, Dungeons & Dragons, A Song of Ice and Fire, Monty Python, Berserk, and Terry Pratchett's Discworld, with a little H. The darkly humorous and bleak feel of the setting and game was what set it apart from the plethora of other similar fantasy universes. good-willed denizens of it would have heeded wisdom! But it really could have been saved if only those tasty. If you thought things would get better after that, that's just two of the usually gray forces inhabiting the world, which only survived as long as it did because of the eternal sacrifice of some Elven mages imprisoned in their own spell, maintaining it forever to keep the forces of Chaos from overwhelming the world like they almost did in ancient times and nigh-inevitably did anyway. Then there were the rampaging hordes of Greenskins, both Orcs and goblins, scarily psychopathic aliens infesting everywhere existing only to joyously, brutally and (with known exceptions) mercilessly fight, destroy, enslave, kill and in the case of goblins malevolently torture every innocent creature they could find - and the Greenskins were the comic relief in this setting. There were just a few small problems like delusional (or worse) madmen empowered by the Dark Gods to increasingly frequently lead crusades reducing the world further into hellish misery and incorporate it into the REAL hell.
The uninitiated might think that Warhammer wasn't all that bad and was a heroic fantasy land on its way to getting better - that's right. Chaos is present, both in the form of great warbands of mutated and corrupted warriors and as cult activity in the heart of society. Standard fantasy elements were also present - Elves used to dominate but are a shadow of their former selves Dwarfs occupy the few mountain strongholds that have not yet fallen to Skaven, Orcs and Goblins. In addition, the map of the Warhammer world included several locations not covered by the game, with such original names as Nippon and Cathay (Cathay is even protected by a "Great Bastion"). At the very North and South poles of the world were the Chaos Wastes, a nightmare realm from which the greatest evils of the world originated. Other locations of note are Ulthuan, the island home of the High Elves, and "The New World", which has two continents, Naggaroth in the North, home to the Dark Elves, and southern Lustria, home to the Lizardmen. The Warhammer verse was closely based on our own, with continents laid out in a similar pattern, and the action was mostly located within "The Old World", roughly analogous to 16th century Europe. until 2019, when it was announced that the Old World would return with new rules akin to the Horus Heresy spinoff for 40K.
It was officially discontinued and replaced with the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar game universe by Games Workshop in July 2015, and all official GW support for Warhammer Fantasy Battle was discontinued. "Warhammer" was a tabletop battle game that began in 1983 and was previously known as Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WHFB), its last official edition (8th edition) was published in 2010. Warhammer was the generic name of a number of tabletop battle and roleplaying games marketed by UK firm Games Workshop. If you were looking for a character who uses a warhammer, that's Drop the Hammer (though the setting certainly isnt lacking in this).
