There's not a ton of modern day allegory in WH:F. 40k obviously is dripping in it, but Fantasy is mostly just "we stole Tolkien's shit and then combined it with a heavy metal poster and tossed in the HRE for good measure. Now watch this dwarf break a Daemon Prince's kneecaps with his bitchin' warhammer."
