I haven't really played with it yet but I've been working on basically doing a Deadlands style setting with Warhammer.  Other then character based rules changes needed to emulate the setting.  The biggest addition I've worked out is a Showdown mechanic.  While the core combat rules can certainly lead to death.  I found that they don't really do the intensity of a proper Showdown well enough.

I woke up with a thought today.  WFRP's "North and South America" continent.  A fantasy version of real world Americas and their native peoples.  Maybe a bit stereotypical or narrow of me but I really have an urge to hunt chaos daemon bison men with war paint and tomohawks and join the warriors to smoke and sweat out the chaotic influence afterwards.  Among other cool possibilities.

...Could be fun.

Last of the Mohicans was on TV the night before.  Explains the thought.

I remember watching that. However, the memory is rather hazy and I can't recall any obvious supernatural elements.

Possibly due to watching it in late elementary? school.

There really aren't any, I just like the fighting style and figure it'd be cool mixed with WFRP style fantasy elements.

I ran a Napoleonic Wars one-shot with it (just to try the system). Straight historical, players were revolutionaries tied to the Jacobins. Game died after the first session because one player didn't like the rules (because it didn't let her do everything she wanted). Though she made the same complaint of Burning Wheel, Savage Worlds, and Fate 2.0. So, no idea what that means.

Not much of a fan of the Old World, myself. Since it's fantasy, I like mine with more, well, non-European analogs. My figuring is, if you're going to have a European dominated world, it ought to have a reason behind it ("a la Guns, Germs, and Steel" - even Tolkein had strict reasons WHY his European analogs ruled).

I also like historicals. I've considered WH as the system for a Rome game (set, say, when Sulla becomes Dictator - he makes a proclamation that, due to the low number of survivors of the Civil War, he allows women in the Senate, army, blah blah blah) and a homebrew fantasy world based very loosely on Earthsea.

Seriously, snod fake Germany and it's Chaos Lords.

Though, in its favor, I actually LIKE guns in my fantasy.

I started working on a fantasy-wild west version, but never did finish it.

Something I always wanted to do, is using the Warhammer ruleset with the Iron Kingdom  setting.

I'd love to use it to run fantasy fucking Vietnam. Humanity has conquered the surface and driven enslaved the green-skins that still remain on the surface. However, the magical energy it needs to sustain its emerging magi-tech pools in great caverns below the earth. Necromancers, daemon worshippers, the green-skins and foul mutations have all beaten mankind to the punch, and are ensconced near the most important and valuable sources.

The PCs are ordinary people conscripted, armed, and dropped in the massive cave system underneath the Pit, a massive strip mine cum FOB for Operation Darkhammer. Their mission is to search out and destroy the minions of the great necromancer Hoch Ming while winning the hearts and minds of the native green-skins.
