For this kind of stuff, I go to Necromancer Games' The Mother of All Treasure Tables. It's sooo worth picking up. It has hoards covering a wide range of treasure:

You mention balancing being a factor- are the monsters seeing alterations? What kind? Just flat out making them put out more damage, or?

Warhammer Fantasy 1e hacked into a Warhammer 40k dark heresy game before dark heresy was a thing 😆
