Well in that case, a few others:
Gotrek & Felix - the best known warhammer series. I'd suggest reading a few others first, because getting into this is a big investment. Some of the books in the series are amongst the most enjoyable warhammer novels, but there's more than a few duds too. The Ulrika the Vampire and Thanquol spin-offs are well worth reading (no duds in either series) even if you haven't read G&F first.
The Adventures of Florin & Lorenzo - a really good trilogy, with Lizardmen, Ogres and Bretonnia featuring. I'd really recommend these.
Blackhearts, Brunner the Bounty Hunter, The Witch Hunter - all three are really good series focused on the Old World. Like Gotrek & Felix and Florin & Lorenzo, they're focused on a small group of characters (or just one) roving around, rather than on nations, races and armies.
"Vampire Wars: The Von Carstein Trilogy" - another favourite of mine. The fluff is a bit outdated too, but the books are excellent.
Of the stand-alone books, "The Red Duke" is really good, as is the ancient "The Wine of Dreams" - disliked by some for its slow pace and lack of fighting, but it's a really good book on the creep of chaos corruption.

So for a person that has read a lot of fantasy but nothing regarding Warhammer except army books and rule books. Is there a really good one or two I should read? Or is it better to read the more named fantasy writers? I really liked the William King era of Gotrek and Felix to me some of the best of what Black Library and Warhammer should feel like.

I completely agree with all the books sedge listed. I really enjoyed them all (though I’ve not read blackhearts - it’s on my pile of unread books). I’ll add the Nagash trilogy and the Sigmar trilogy if only for the origin stories. I also liked the Knights of Bretonnian books by Antony Reynolds
