Critical Role in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

[t209]

Not that it wouldn't happen (Critical Role being Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro property), but I am wondering how would each cast will play characters from Warhammer Roleplay (either season is fine, or just custom)? But here's the primer to those not familiar with the setting.
- Warhammer Fantasy is Darkly Comedic (like your local cleric equivalent may be a barber who either amputate limbs or apply leeches, classes are ratcatcher and other "mundane" occupation, and dirty)
- Pretty Human heavy (Only fantasy PLAYABLE races are Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings)
- Definitely lethal (got a new gun? Good luck not getting it blow up in your face. Got cut with a dirty sword? Hello septic wound. Magic? invitation to mutations.)
For some reason, Percy would be seen as more mundane since firearms are widespread (though expensive and unreliable, but an average soldier would have one) even if he would seen as a renowned Engineering graduate from Nuln or Altdorf since he would be educated in making revolvers.
Vax and Vex can be Wood Elf or High Elf from Chrace or Nagarythe (they do rangers and good at stealth due to harassing Dark Elves landing parties), maybe bodyguard to a noble or went there for various reasons (bounty? Exiled?).
Keyleth would work as Lore of Beast (either Hoeth mage apprentice or Wood Elf magic user).
Scanlan, Pike, and Grog would be hard since Gnomes and Goliath don't exist, Halflings can work but not suitable for the former, and Ogres would be too iffy even if it would fit Grog (namely trying to eat other party members).
Also Tiberius don't exist...either due to Dragonborn or being kicked out of the party.
Please feel free to share.

Ogres don't try and eat their mates unless they're really hungry. And even then if they're good mates they'll only eat a bit.

If you keep an Ogre fed and paid, he'll be as loyal as anyone could want.

That said, they don't make particularly good WFRP characters because they're only really good at combat and it's generally not intended to be a combat heavy game, especially since there isn't a reliable source of quick healing or a reliable source of magic anything (if you're not good enough and try magic and your head explodes you were one of the lucky ones).

(Transposing really any kind of D&D party design into WFRP doesn't really work out either, the end result of a High Elf, a Wood Elf, and a Dwarf walking into a bar in Warhammer might well be a small war rather than an adventuring party....)

To be fair, old Warhammer short stories did have "adventuring parties" in Warhammer that had both a dwarf and an elf, with barely more than the occasional bit of snark each way. The Grunnson's Marauders short stories spring to mind.

Or Vermintide (ironically Elf Kirillian and Dwarf Bardin got along better than other, other than Human Soldier Kruber).
Even Dwarven expatriates from the Empire are allowed in Lothern (Dwarves don’t want to meet with Elves due to a grudge over an ancient war, but Tyrion novel do mention Dwarven goods showing up on market).
