Apart from flying units and the Surge spell the fantasy part of Kings of war is not very fantastical, so Historical vs Fantasy is not such a big deal.
We ran Selucids vs Undead, and the Selucids curb stomped the undead horde in both play throughs. Their pikes were brutal. the non pike stuff was a bit more even, but with the pike block rules there was little hope for the ghouls/skeletons/other non sense.
