Line 19:
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Super Jackhammer Carrier Tank.
* [[Axe Crazy]]: Mary, arguably. The orks too.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: When Frep is complaining how Steven Colbert used "Freem" and should be sued for Copyright Infringement, Kren points out the whole comic revolves around the concept [https://web.archive.org/web/20200328170124/http://tsoalr.com/?p=373
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Poor Harkon...
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Its LIONS!", * [[Frickin' Laser Beams|FREEM]]*
Line 26:
* [[Crack Pairing]]: In 40k fluff, I think anyone knows why the pairing of a daemonette and a SM qualifies for this. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in that it actually WORKS In-Universe since they're all [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock]] [[Punch Clock Hero|Miniatures]].
* [[Doppelganger]] The Pointy Sticks of the Emperor. Of course, they're no better......
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Frep says Harkon is one of these [https://web.archive.org/web/20130719032133/http://tsoalr.com/?p=507 here].
{{quote|'''Frep''': ''Seven feet'' of genetically engineered killing machine; ''brain'' the size of a walnut.}}
* [[Eye Scream]]: Played for laughs (and on at least [https://web.archive.org/web/20130514133735/http://tsoalr.com/?p=151 one instance subverted]) with Sgt. Yellow Pine's bionic eye.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: There's a character who literally is named Barkeep.
* [[Fluffy Tamer]]: Frep. He keeps a Chaos Boar from Warhammer Fantasy (who'd somehow [[Noodle Incident|managed to destroy an]] ''[[Noodle Incident|Emperor-class Battleship]]'') and a Necron Scarab for pets.
* [[High-Class Glass]]: {{spoiler|Prime minister}} Harkon sports one of these [https://web.archive.org/web/20130720190737/http://tsoalr.com/?p=473 here].
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Played hilariously straight by everyone OTHER than the Emperor's Pointy Sticks. If a shot can hit them, it will hit them. Almost never fails.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: One of the earlier strips (dating back to the 4th edition) had Orks getting the "No new Codex blues." A few years later, after an upgrade...
{{quote|'''Krep:''' Kommandos? With burnas?! ''From any side of the table!?!!?''
'''Ork:''' Who's got the "no new Codex blues" now? }}
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130514080350/http://tsoalr.com/?p=56 This] strip. Frep sure needs to learn when to quit while he's [[Incredibly Lame Pun|"ahead."]]
* [[Hyperspace Base]]: [[British Accents|Corporal Cavendish's]] WWII tank model. So much so that a squad of Terminators got LOST when they were supposed to disembark because they took a wrong turn. Leading to a squad of enemy Space Wolves getting lost too.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: [[Meaningful Name|Mary Napalm]] the Sister of Battle. Word of advice: stay away from her when she has her favorite toy.
* [[Made of Iron]]: [[Double Subversion]] They never die (except for extras at certain points), but they are almost GUARANTEED to get "killed" in the gameplay sense of the word. Overlaps with [[Death Is Cheap]].
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Partial, in that they are fully aware that they are models in a TT game, while not aware of being in a comic strip. In fact, one [https://web.archive.org/web/20130722144039/http://tsoalr.com/?p=126 strip] has Kren placing an order for Krep's daemonette girlfriend.
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Whenever Jack or a weapon is used for something other than its intended purpose...which happens quite frequently. This can "backfire" though...
* [[Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond]]: During the Tavern arc, Frep and Kren, and of course, Jack, easily [[A Worldwide Punomenon|steamroll]] [[One-Man Army|warhammer characters until they're out of ammo at least]], [[Power Creep, Power Seep|unless if the rule is adjusted where "a Dice is a dice", as a Black Orc said]].
* [[Oh My Gods]]: "Emperor's [lengthy description]!"
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: Sister Mary, at least in the arc where the duo traded Jack and Harkon for a bar.
* [[Raging Stiffie]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130514112835/http://tsoalr.com/?p=14 Here]. Safe for work, by the way.
{{quote|'''Random Marine''':"Emperor protect my ''pants''!"}}
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: How the Necrons are depicted whenever they appear.
Line 51:
* [[Screwed by the Lawyers]]: It stopped because it was becoming too time-consuming and expensive to do. The reason the lawyers got involved is that the only way to really give it a chance to make enough money to continue was to make it into a book. But Games Workshop refused to grant permission.
* [[Shout-Out]]: To [[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]], Terminator, and [[Finding Nemo]] in the dialogue -- and that's just for starters.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Generally the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130514184906/http://tsoalr.com/?p=147 situation] that arise whenever another army co-opts Jack and crew to proxy. May have something to do with the fact that Kren and Frep misuse the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130514053623/http://tsoalr.com/?p=253 resources]/[https://web.archive.org/web/20130514171931/http://tsoalr.com/?p=146 abilites] of whatever army asks them to help out. Ironically, these are the only times they actually seem to WIN.
* [[Team Pet]]: No less than three : a Chaos boar straight from [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]], a Necron Scarab, and "Onesie," a dice which only rolls ones when Kren and Frep are using it (but which roll sixes every time it's used for calculating their damages...)
* [[Thanks for the Mammary]]: The author, being blinded by a camera flash, walks into the cameraman's wife [https://web.archive.org/web/20130721074127/http://tsoalr.com/?p=539 here].
* [[Theme Naming]]: With the exception Kren and Frep, the whole Emperor's Pointy Sticks chapter (Brother Ginkgo, Sgt Yellow Pine...).
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Always overlaps with [[More Dakka]]. The crew of Jack always seem to be on the receiving end of a ridiculous amount of fire. As an example: 21 Lascannons in their first match.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The crew of Jack, and especially Frep.''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130514101909/http://tsoalr.com/?p=201 Who uses turn signals in the middle of battle?!?]''
* [[Too Much Information]]: Kren says this to Frep [https://web.archive.org/web/20130721014751/http://tsoalr.com/?p=278 here].
** Again, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130719171414/http://tsoalr.com/?p=51 here]. Same subject, same characters.
* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]: '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130722170333/http://tsoalr.com/?p=234 TWINS THEY WERE.]'''
* [[Unfortunate Names|Unfortunate Nick Name]] The [[Freud Was Right|Fiery Loins]] space marine chapter ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130719011335/http://tsoalr.com/?p=171 Its LIONS!]).
* [[X Meets Y]]: It's ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' meets ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]''.
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: The author suffers this in this [https://web.archive.org/web/20130722040639/http://tsoalr.com/?p=494 strip] due to illness.
