I am not sure I would say that BL has a highly derivative D&D setting except that they both have traditional fantasy settings derived from the likes of Tolkien, which to be honest are used in many other gaming products.
I actually found the mix of medevial France to be an unexpected angle. I am not sure what to make of it but it kind of reminds me of "Ash: A Secret History" where our historical setting is revealed to have a number of "fantastical elements". I will be interested to see whether the expansion continue the distinction with historical units and fantastical ones being seperate.
