Default "Warhammer" in Dungeon Fantasy?

Suppose I want to do a Dungeon Fantasy game in the fashion of Warhammer Fantasy RPG (because I do). What would be the easiest way to do this? What should I drag in from the GURPS DF line, and what ought to be cut from DF?

To sum up the WFRP feel:
"Renaissance Germany" - gunpowder, poofy sleeves, bad German translations
Dangerous magic
Corruption, demons, and the like

This sounds like it should be in the regular GURPS forum - note this: Remember: DFRPG, not GURPS. Thank you!

I do have some comments on the subject, but will put them down when this has been re-located.

Yes. I want to use the Dungeon Fantasy RPG, not GURPS per se.

But if you're bringing in content from GURPS DF and possibly other GURPS content (corruption rules from GURPS Horror, for example), that's what the main forum is for.

This one is genuinely going to straddle the divide, because you’re going to want to bring in a bunch of stuff from the main GURPS line (weapons, equipment, variant magic rules…), unless you want to do a lot of reinventing the wheel.

Which board it belongs on is left as an exercise for the mods.

If you really want the Warhammer feel, Dungeon Fantasy's rules are fine. You probably want 50 point hirelings for the PCs if you want the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay experience.

So, to get the feel right

A PC should get dysentery from eating a pie.
As many PCs as possible should get tossed in the midden.
The PCs should acquire a river boat that gets burned.
A poxy nobleman should turn out to be a chaos worshipper.
A righteous priest should turn out to be a chaos worshipper.
An Ogre should fart in an enclosed space.
A terrifying witch hunter should try to burn some innocents.
A Skaven should be seen leaving the scene of a mysterious murder, nobody should believe the witness.


Feel free to add more suggestions folks.
