AoS’ system is much easier to list build which is better for everyone.

No. If anything AoS has killed the theory that 40k is in the same universe as the old Fantasy setting. The YouTube channel 40K Theories has stated that the Warp connects to different realities. As they explain it, the worlds of Warhammer Fantasy and 40,000 are separate universes, linked by the Warp.
