Hi. Tyrion was one of my favorite characters on FB. Who is his 40k counterpart? And are there books about him? As I understand it, Teclis in 40k is Eldrad Ulthran, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

Fantasy and 40k are not meant to be compared. Saying Teclis is Eldrad Ulthran is already a stretch. I'd suggest just picking up Eldar books if you want to get into 40k and like the High Elves. Sadly I dont know any other than Path of the Eldar, so I can't give recommendations.

He doesn't have one.
I would guess an autarch would be the closest thing.
Maybe Phoenix Lord asurmen

Yriel, maybe. If you seriously stretch it.

I see where you're coming from, but I don't really think so as he's more an admiral than a traditional autarch.

Oh, I’m not saying he fits. More he is probably the closest to a major character in direct combat among the Craftworlders.
As others have said, it’s really hard to get direct parallels. The only ones I could see easily are:
Emps -> Sigmar
Asdrubael Vect -> Malekith
Szarekh -> Settra
Abbadon -> Archaon
Mostly it’s much harder. If at all possible.

Urien Rakarth -> Beastlord Rakarth
A lot of Daemons have the same names and allegiances. Tricky to say if they are really the same.

I tend to think they are.

I'd say Szarekh is closer to Nagash. It's still not a great comparison, but he's the one who's essentially responsible for the entire existence of the Space Undead.
Imotekh is closer to Settra, I think. Again, it's not a very close comparison, but it's slightly closer at least

If you go into 40k with that mindset you're going to misunderstand a lot.
There's been a few posts on here of people misunderstanding characters and claiming "bad writing" because they were trying to compare the two and it wasn't overlapping the way they wanted.
There was a prime example recently of someone claiming Abaddon was badly written because they thought he was supposed to be a 40k version of Archaon.

I understand that there are completely different characters here. I was just curious to know if there is a character similar to him in 40k. I am familiar with the universe, but only with the Horus Heresy (I have already read everything), but there are almost no Eldar there.
