Line 11:
* [[Clock Punk]]/[[Steampunk]]: The more advanced technological units that the Dwarves and Empire can deploy come across as this.
* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: The Cult of Sigmar.
* [[Deadly Decadent Court]]: The Empire's inner workings can be its own worst enemy. Especially with various nobles and internal factions seeking to claim the throne from Karl Franz.
* [[Death From Above]]: Some of the magic spells that can be cast on the battlefield amount to this. Not to mention how aerial units can sweep down to kill unsuspecting troops.
* [[Death World]]: Territories under the Vampire Counts turn into veritable graves where the undead walk with impunity. While lands taken over by Chaos morph into literal pieces of Hell.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Quite a few, befitting both a ''[[Total War]]'' title and its ''[[Warhammer]]'' setting:
** The Empire is basically the [[Holy Roman Empire]] around the time of the Renaissance and suitably German in inspiration.
** The Vampire Counts are an undead version of [[Uberwald]].
** Bretonnia is a blend of [[High Middle Ages]] France and [[Arthurian Legend|Arthurian myth]].

* [[Meat Shield]]: Most of Bretonnia's peasant units ultimately amount to this, their purpose being to either soak up enemy attacks or hold the line until the knights and elite troops arrive.▼
* [[Legion of Lost Souls]]: The Vampire Counts can summon undead armies to fight for their cause.
▲* [[Meat Shield]]: Most of Bretonnia's peasant units ultimately amount to this, their purpose being to either soak up enemy attacks or hold the line until the knights and elite troops arrive.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The game is stated as being difficult even by ''[[Total War]]'' standards, especially with the presence of magic and aerial combat.
* [[Uberwald]]: Sylvania, the "homeland" of the Vampire Counts is a deadringer for this trope, with its status as a former Imperial domain, Germanic culture and undead reputation.
