The Ungol tribe lore, and some Norsca lore are lifted directly from Conan, a few names of chaos and undead characters have been lifted from Kull the Conqueror (such as Krell) and the Witch Hunters of Warhammer are based far more on Solomon Kane and Witchfinder General than historical inquisitions. The old Chaos Warrior and Chaos Knight models had some figures based on the Schwarzenegger movie and the Hero Quest chaos sorcerer model with a skull face is based off of Thusla Doom from the Kull books (not the film version)
Easy to notice that warhammer took inspiration from many others Dune, Howard and many more. But i agree that rainbow and fluffy unicorn Fantasy is of little interest to the average Conan enthusiast
Everyone needs more REH
Honestly Game Workshop took a lot of IP from different setting from Fantasy and Sci-Fi I am sure they took some stuff from Robert E Howard as well.
