Yes. Both Warhammer settings are very much designed with peace being utterly unimpossible.

Varsuuvius would have irrevocably lost zir soul with zir faustian bargain.

Miko would have replaced Shojo as ruler and use the state as a tool of her insane/righteous fury.

Redcloak wouldn't work as a character at all (IMHO). The ambiguity and deconstruction his character is built around doesn't exist in the setting. Goblins aren't "usually" evil and don't want a fair world where people get along.

Xykon is fine.

Belkar would fit a little too well for the character to work. Being a sociopath on the right side is a pretty well as a necessary evil there.

Roy would be like Celia, in that there sensibilities strongly and constantly clash with how the world turns. People might suspect he's some kind of traitor for doing things like talking to orcs when he could kill them.

Tarquin would have a sound utilitarian argument in favor of what he's doing. Destroying the vector legion might result in every human in their empires being killed/enslaved/dispossessed.

Dwarfs are... when you run the numbers, OOTS dwarfs are actually crazier than Warhammer dwarfs. OOTS dwarfs in peacetime are subject to more violence than any human civilization ever that couldn't be described as "rapidly collapsing".
