I never really got into the miniature / battle side of Warhammer. It just doesn't appeal to me for some reason. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, on the other hand, I greatly enjoyed. It's a fantastic world in which to create stories and it's also a heck of a lot cheaper. The mechanics are bit clunky compared to modern roleplaying systems, but it is easy to adapt modern systems to the setting if you so desire.
The battle game must be a much better product from the business point of view, due to the need to buy a lot more stuff to participate, and I imagine that is why it has continued whilst WFRP has mostly been sidelined.
Update: I see a new edition of WFRP has been published in the last few years. I played the first edition. I don't know what the other editions are like.
