Hi all,
I'm looking at putting one of these lesser-known - but very good - OSR games through their paces. Both lean towards older styles of play but successfully incorporate mechanics from later editions. My homebrew campaign setting, the New Kingdoms, has been around for a long (long!) time, mostly as a Rolemaster setting. It's straight fantasy set in a world that is slowly, but quite literally, falling to pieces. I'm looking at running a sandbox-style campaign set in a Tsarist Russia-type nation.
The FH&W rules are available for free here
Blood & Treasure is available on OBS, and is pretty reasonably priced.

I've put in some info in the recruitment thread for this campaign to get a clearer idea of the setting and flavour.
I should also add, that if I can't garner any interest for FH&W (my preference) or B&T (which would be a very great shame), my arm could be twisted without much difficulty to run the setting for Pathfinder, AD&D 2e, Labyrinth Lord or OSRIC. If using PF, I'd be making considerable use of 3PP stuff, Ultimate Intrigue, Occult & Horror Adventures, background skills from Unchained and - ultimately - the Kingdom building rules from Ultimate Campaign.
As a caveat to that: I've never run PF before (I have played), so it could get messy, until I find my feet.

Still hoping for expressions of interest: have pretty much settled in my own mind that I'd like to run Fantastic Heroes & Witchery. If anyone is interested, I've nearly finished preparing a couple of documents, one detailing character creation and an example of play and one looking at unique races in the campaign setting which I'd be happy to share.
