Using characters from old army lists with newer rules

OKay
SO myself and a buddy are starting warhammer fantasy. I have some current models but i also like the looks of some of the old ones(and some of the old stats from old army books look fun!) We are using 6th edition rules. I currently have smaller armies for WoC, Lizardmen, Brettonia, O+G. I have all of the army books for 6th edition for the armies i possess(well i still need a lizardmen book) I also have 5th edition army books for almost all the armies i possess(need O+G still)
So here is my question. Would it be feasible to merge the characters from 5th edition into the 6th rulebooks? WOuld there be any characters that would be too powerful, or not compatible with 6th? Understand that i know nothing of 5th edition rules and i am a beginner at warhammer in general.(but not a beginner in wargames)
