Well, if you’re willing to look beyond T&B, there are quite few fantasy games with guns, here are few of them plus other places to look:

For bigger battles Sludge seems to be good, its Napoleonics with knights and magic in a grim dark setting.

Freelancer: Skies Over Tolindia the RPG is a “Fantasy with Boltaction rifles” setting that seems to be mini heavy and it should be coming out this year. The company doing that, Safehaven Games also has a free miniature wargaming rule set called Omniverse that should allow for that sort aesthetic.

Supposedly Frostgrave has an official add on rule for black powder weapons and I know if you look around you can find some fan mod rules for it. Same deal with Dragon Rampant.

I am pretty sure 2hour wargames has some fantasy with black powder rules on their site, its been a while since I last looked though.

You could also try looking around Wargamer Vault, they have thousands of rule sets, there should be more than a few with guns and magic that cover what you want.
