I'm putting together some ideas for my first WFRP adventure.

One thing that I am planning on doing (and my apologies if this has already come up) is to use polyhedral dice to represent the wounds beside the creatures the party is fighting. For instance something with an 8 wound threshold would get a d8 beside it that counts down.

Seems potentially pretty clean to me and I have puh-lenty of dice around to use for this. Thoughts?

That sounds fine to me. I'm not sure my group is going to want face down wound cards so they may just track wounds as a number, then just use the cards for criticals.
