Line 14:
* [[BFG]]: The Empire's artillery as well as those of the Dwarven Kingdoms.
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: While the Empire isn't nearly as [[Darker and Edgier|grimdark]] as [[Warhammer 40,000|the Imperium of Man]], even at its murkiest it's far preferable to the realms of Chaos.
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: Some units like the Empire's halberdiers have bonuses against large opponents.
* [[Bling of War]]: Each faction doesn't exactly shy away from being this in various ways.
* [[Civil Warcraft]]: The Empire starts off with the newly crowned Karl Franz having to consolidate the realm from rivals and usurpers.
Line 51 ⟶ 52:
** 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 to get the job done.
** Some of the undead forces the Vampire Counts can send to their foes, such as zombies, also double as this. Their sheer bulk making up for their individually weak attacks.
** The Greenskins' goblin warriors exist pretty much to die and hold down enemies long enough for the Greenskins themselves come into the action.
* [[Medieval European Fantasy]]: Played with. Neither the Empire, Dwarven Kingdoms nor even the Vampire Counts really play to the conventional elements of the trope. Bretonnia meanwhile embraces the aesthetic, complete with magically-enhanced knights in shining armor.
* [[Medieval Stasis]]: Bretonnia is a deliberate case of this even in-verse, especially in contrast to the Empire.
Line 60 ⟶ 62:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The Old World is a sight to behold.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: Of sorts to the myriad total conversion [[Game Mod]]s based on the ''[[Warhammer]]'' tabletop game, particularly the ones for ''Medieval II: Total War'' and ''Empire: Total War.''
* [[The Starscream]]: For the Empire, the province of Nordland will constantly try to make life difficult for Emperor Karl Franz and any attempt at fully consolidating the realm.
* [[Theme Park Version]]:
** Bretonnia seems to be intentionally invoking this trope, given how it looks straight out of a fairy tale rendition of ''[[Le Morte d'Arthur]]'' in contrast to the Empire.
