I thought Warhammer has some great ideas, plot hooks, and even out of the usual rules.
Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WHFB) can be a fun addition for huge battles in the campaign or world.
It's always difficult to pull off huge army-scaled battles in D&D. So why not pull them off in a Warhammer Wargame? Of course, your gaming group will have to be fine with Wargaming for a couple hours in place of Roleplaying. This might be a great way to do massive scale battles with pre-made rules and miniatures.
One idea for Warhammer battles would be to make stats and rules for the players so you can add their miniatures into the battle (or give them the stats of already existing models). You could play a grand scale battle with the PCs on one side and the DM on the other. You could even throw in some of Roleplaying aspects into the battle.
Storyline-wise this could be great. The players might feel like they have an even greater hand in battles and in the fate of your world. This great battle could be used to shoot off a campaign. Indeed the rest of the campaign could be based on the outcome of this Warhammer Battle.
I had a few ideas when coming up with this: 1. One could play the Warhammer battle as if they were still Roleplaying. This would make the transition into the Roleplaying aspect a little easier, but could make the game too long. 2. One could (and probably should) play the armies how you think those armies would behave in battle.
This was my idea for putting Warhammer Fantasy in a D&D campaign. Though it does take a particular type of gaming group. And I seriously doubt I am the first to think of this.
