Dungeon Fantasy for High-Powered Campaigns

[griffin]

How useful would GURPS Dungeon Fantasy be for running high-powered campaigns that are not predominently in the dungeon, but do feature a lot of combat. I'm looking at running a cinematic fantasy campaign. The feel I'm going for here is sort of along the lines of Black Company (Glen Cooks book, with more healing generally available) and Myth (as in the computer game that was translated into a GURPS book for 3rd edition).

The characters would start off as professional soldiers and progress to be rather powerful veteran heroes on their way to becoming legends.
