That's because WH40k (1987) is just a futuristic upgrade to WH Fantasy (1983).
I'm not kidding. Eldar are High Elves. Dark Eldar are Dark Elves. Orks are virtually indistinguishable from their WHF cousins. The exact same Chaos Daemon army used in WHF can also be used in 40k with almost virtually no changes. Etc, etc, etc...
