- Comment: An author specializes in short stories. While the author makes some glaring grammar mistakes, his numerous Fantasy and 40k fics are nevertheless much detailed and enjoyable. You should start with his Shadows of an Empire I and associated short stories.

- Comment: Less a fanfic and more a series of unofficial army books, Warhammer Armies Project by Mathias Eliasson has some of the most popular fan-made books for the game. Even if you're not an active player of the game, these books are worth a read for helping to flesh out the setting, examining factions and areas largely ignored by the game proper.
General Fics
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.An ISOT in Grimdark by Wolf1965 and Beer
- Status: Ongoing
- Now on Fanfiction.net as well.
- Now on Fanfiction.net as well
- Synopsis: When a powerful world-shaping magic spell goes wrong, the entire country of Germany and all 80 million of its people find themselves ISOT'ed from our world in 2012, to the wild and chaotic world of Warhammer Fantasy. Thus begins an epic saga as the German people adapt and learn how to survive in their new homeworld. And as the eternal war between the forces of Order and Chaos drags on, the newcomers and their powerful technology might be just what the world needs to turn the tide against the Ruinous Powers...
- Not only does this story examine the events on the Warhammer World as the Germans adapt and make the battle against the Forces of Chaos, and how the natives of the Old World react to the arrival of these newcomers and their advanced technology, but it also examines the effects felt back on Earth ... especially after the Forces of Chaos are able to find a way to get to Earth.
- Not only is this story well-written with lots of engaging action sequences, large-scale epic battles, and many a Moment of Awesome (to be expected from a work based on, well, Warhammer), but the writers have really Shown Their Work with regards to German history, economics, politics, pop culture, military and tactics, and technology, as well as to the lore of the Warhammer Fantasy universe.
- Also expect a brief crossover with Warhammer Fantasy's Sci-Fi counterpart.
- About the one thing that can be said to be bad about the story is the grammar and the orthography. A beta-reader would do wonders for the story.

Dragon Caught in Amber (Warhammer Fantasy) by Blackout
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: The story follows a very young dragon who is discovered by a Magister-Shaman of the Amber or Brown Order who wishes to offer to help her blend into human society in exchange for gaining a potentially powerful ally and wishing to prevent the needless death of a living being — much less one as young as her.
- Essentially follows a dragon who isn't just about isolation and hoarding gold but seeks to experience the world around her and winds up striking a deal with a wizard.
- Not only is this story well-written with excellent character interaction but helps to provide some fantastic world building with several inclusion of neat spells. There are several Moment Of Awesome, Nightmare Fuel, and Heartwarming too.

Warhammer Fantasy Divided Loyalties by Boney
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: As a Journeywoman, Grey Wizard Mathilde Weber is dropped into the deep end of intrigue and double-dealing after a surprise assignment to the necromancer-afflicted province of Stirland. Follow her trials, travails, feats and discoveries as she makes her way in the world and does her best to decide who is worthy of her trust.
- An interactive quest hosted on Sufficient Velocity, Divided Loyalties has been running since 2018 and has seen the protagonist grow and change and interact with numerous figures and mysteries in the setting.
- A story with great characters and action and one that does it's best to present the world of Warhammer Fantasy as a living world full of real people.

The Outland Legion by J.Logan
- Status: Ongoing
- Also readable on Fanfiction.net and SpaceBattles.
- Also readable on Fanfiction.net
- Synopsis: The ongoing adventures of a legion of lizardmen mercenaries, who have broken from tradition and are traversing the Old World, using warmblood tactics and weapons in order to fight on behalf of the warm-bloods, asking for only information and raw materials as payment, even as they come into conlict with undead, rogue Empire nobility, and a Chaos Warhost dedicated to a relatively unknown Chaos god.
- Interesting world-building and characterisation. Never pictured coming across a story where the lizardmen have stylised themselves after the 17/1800’s British Empire. We even have a saurus version of the Duke of Wellington, if this troper is not mistaken about the name.

- Recommended by: Tropers/Drgyen.
- Status: Complete

- Follow by its sequels An Oath of Stone and A War in Winter

- Status: Dormant; last updated January 2018
- Synopsis: At the End of the End Times when the Incarnates failed and the Winds of Magic were ripped from them four of the winds, Shyish, Aqshy, Uldu and Chamon were cast out together. Shyish and Ulgu being torn more forcefully due to their Incarnates resisting the most took more than just the winds with them, though All winds did take a small part of its Incarnate with it, Ulgu and Shyish took more. Moving through the Realm of Chaos the remaining four winds of Magic seized the first opportunity they had to escape and returned to the mortal realm where a City was alight with fire caused by 6 billion curses. This City is Fuyuki City at the end of Fate/Zero. Not desiring to disperse into the world the four winds poured themselves into the closest living being in the area. A boy with red hair and amber eyes.
Berserkhammer by Papermonkey
- Crossover with Berserk
- Recommended by Mr Terrorist
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: What if Berserk's Guts was born in the grim, dark fantasy setting of the Old World, as opposed to the grim, dark setting of Berserk?
- Comments:: A very good crossover fanfic. Word of God has said "Some caveats: with the exception of Guts himself and certain important elements like the Berserker's Armor and the Dragonslayer, this is chiefly a Warhammer story. There won't be any Apostles, God-Hand, or the Idea of Evil, especially since Chaos fills a lot of the same conceptual space, though I will include Warhammer versions of other Berserk characters as we go on. Further, while there will be similarities in some backstory elements and certain events from Berserk here and there, I don't intend for this to be a 1:1 retelling of Berserk with a Warhammer theme, either." Highly recommended.
Gatehammer Fantasy Battles by IRUn
- Crossover with Gate
- Recommended by Masked And Dangerous, Red-Dead-Redeemer
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: The Empire of Sadera invades, not modern Tokyo but the Old World. Now Prince Ernhardt, fourth son of Emperor Karl Franz, must navigate both the battlefield and the far deadlier politics of the New and Old worlds as his armies march across the lands beyond the Gate.
- Comments: A fast update schedule and awesome worldbuilding characterize Gatehammer. The battles are a lot closer than the source material, and the story drops the harem elements by shifting focus between multiple characters, although Prince Ernhardt gets the lion's share. This is a story that is comfortable asking the question of what changes when another medieval society gets its hands on the Gate rather than the enlightened modern age. Recommended.
An Investigation into the Primarch Sigmar's Homeworld by Some Scribe
- Recommended by: MrTerrorist
- Crossover with Warhammer 40,000
- Status: Last updated Jun 16, 2021
- Synopsis: What happens when some naïve Great Crusade-era Space Marines land on a world where gods are real, medieval soldiers can kill Bloodthirsters, and everything is utterly tainted by the Warp? Hilarity, horror, and lots of stupid deaths, that's what.
- Comments: In this AU crossover fanfic with Warhammer Fantasy set during the Great Crusades, Sigmar is the Second Primarch but is considered a failure by almost everyone in the Imperium leadership due to uniting his home planet under his rule and failing to spread the Imperial Truth to the populace. With the exception of Horus and Leman, the other Primarchs and their Legions see Sigmar as an embarrassment. When an Imperial Survey group which includes a detachment of Space Marines from the Space Wolves, Thousand Sons and Dark Angels heads to Sigmar's home planet to learn more about his world, they soon learn that Sigmar may not be the failure they they think he is and his world much more dangerous than they thought.
