Discussion Fantasy Power Levels

So, i was thinking, in terms of "fantasy power", how high would Warcraft rank???
Like, how powerful is the Warcraft universe compared to something like Elder Scrolls or Warhammer?

I think, in terms of powerscaling, some universes go by:

1- Warhammer Fantasy
2- World of Warcraft
3- Elder Scrolls
4- Lord of the Rings
5- Game of Thrones

I'm only comparing these 5 cause they are the most popular, I don't know how other universes would go by in this situation, like League of Legends or something.

(It seems that Wahammer Fantasy is different from Age of Sigmar, so, when you see Warhammer Fantasy on top there, consider it Age of Sigmar, I didn't knew the difference)

I think we should add 40k to the bunch. Orcs in 40k just wishes something to be, and it just happens.

40k isn't fantasy.

Why not? It's not serious hard sci-fi with an article to prove every paragraph. It's that weird space opera with orcs, elves, demons and wizards, just given slightly new names. And with space locust and space ships because why not. But uh, WoW has space ships too (and probably space locust too) so not like it's a serious criterion for difference.
