Question about Total War and Warhammer Fantasy

Hello! I've recently delved into the world of Total War, which I would've never expected at the age of 30. I saw a friend playing and he explained it was sorta like "Fantasy Warhammer". Since I'm more drawn to fantasy themes, I decided to give it a shot and I'm hooked.

Now I know there are a bunch of titles, but I'm very much interested in delving deeper into the lore for fantasy specifically (Not 40k just yet). However, I just found out there is an actual Warhammer Fantasy, that was apparently discontinued at some point? Would anyone be able to explain the differences between the two?
