    Found this on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobek

    Seems this is where they got the inspiration.

    Could this mean that Sotek might be an Old One from over the seas, in the Warhammer world's Egypt?

    Very good research! I wouldn't doubt this is where they got the inspiration from. GW used to do quite a bit of research on their fluff to find parallels with the real world.

    I don't recall the way Sotek came into the world, but I don't think it was from the sea. Egypt would be close to Khemri, right?

    Perhaps Sobekians could be an interesting name for a crocodile, saurus like, race in a fantasy game ;)

    It was just too good a name, not to have been used ;)
    What is that game, anyway?

    That's interesting. So it seems it's crocodile from egypt, fitting perfectly with Sobek.

    yep, they have an army after each of the Egyptian gods.
    (also some Greek and Norse gods)
