'''''Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning''''', usually abbreviated as [[Fun
Like in Mythic's previous MMO, ''[[Dark Age of Camelot]]'', the emphasis
Most of the universe's general tropes can be found on the main [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]] page.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Some options available for Witch Hunter's ammo.
* [[An Adventurer Is You]]: Every race has a tank, a ranged DPS, a melee DPS and a healer.
* [[Badass Bandolier]]: Witch Hunters
* [[The Beast Master]]: White Lions for the High Elves, whose pets are...[[Exactly What It Says
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Male Warrior Priests, and a possible option (though not compulsory) for females.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: How the Witch King is controlling the Orc leader, Grumlok, and his goblin shaman lieutenant, Gazbag. He also increased their power tenfold while he was at it, so it's not all bad.
** Though it's implied in the Greenskin story arch that {{spoiler|he may not be as in control of Gazbag as he believes.}}
* [[Breast Plate]]: Mostly averted since the armor for both genders is almost identical, but played straight with Witch Elves (which are female only) and Sorcerers which have far more revealing armor models for females. To lesser extent, [[Walking Shirtless Scene|Dwarf Slayers]] who are bare chested but in practice have 'medium' armor. As comparison, Witch Hunters' longcoats are considered 'light' armor. At least we're not expected to believe that the skimpy clothing of the Witch Elves and Sorceresses actually provides protection - both careers are lightly armoured and die if you poke them.
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Death Seeker]]: Slayers
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: The dwarfs love these, and Warrior Priests.
* [[The Engineer]]: The Dwarf Engineer, obviously, who can build gun turrets.
* [[Eye Beams]]: Archmages' Radiant Gaze ability.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: The Witch Elves. Being married to a psychotic God of Murder and ready to treat any man who lays a finger on them to an agonizing death doesn't stop them having special abilities to reduce incoming damage just through their massive hotness.
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
** Though this is disputable because an avatar of a god in the universe is simply a piece of the god and only represents certain aspects, there is another confirmed avatar of Sigmar in the setting who was one of the only completely [[Lawful Good]] characters in the setting.
* [[Horse of a Different Color]]: Cold Ones (giant lizards) for the Dark Elves, wolves for Goblins, boars for Orcs. The other races just get horses (Chaos Steeds for, er, Chaos, Elven Warhorses for the High Elves or plain horses for the humans). Dwarves get a horse of a VERY different color, steam-punk personal helocopters that allow them to hover a few feet off the earth but act as a mount in every mechanical way.
* [[Kill It
* [[Knight Templar]]: Most of the Empire, as should be obvious to anyone who knows the setting. Especially the [[Burn the Witch|Witch Hunters.]]
* [[Magic Knight]]: On destruction side there is Disiples of Khaine and Chosens, and on Order side there are Warrior Priests, Knights of the Blazing Sun, and Swordmasters.
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
* [[Nice Hat]]: Standard issue for Witch Hunters. Even their class icon in PVP is a [[Nice Hat]].
** And Knights of the Blazing Sun, with massively glorified helmets pimped out in multicolor peacock feathers.
** The Swordsmasters highest-level armour set has you wearing a unicorn on your head.
* [[Ninja]]: Shadow Warriors are ninja elves.
* [[Not the Intended Use]]: The flee ability is most often used to get from point A to point B faster.
* [[Orgasmic Combat]]: Present and done quite almost over the top. If those kind of screams disturb you, even if you always play female characters in games like [[World of Warcraft]], DO NOT roll a female character.
* [[Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains]]: Armour for female characters of the Order faction is invariably practical, or at least not revealing (most of them are exactly the same for both sexes). Female Zealots wear a skirt and bra...thing..., Dark Elf Witch Elves run around in their undies and Sorceresses (just the females) wear revealing robes. Two aversions in the Chaos Magus and Dark Elf Black Guard careers, where both sexes are pretty well covered and ''definitely'' villainous, as are Disciples of Khaine.
** It's worth noting that what the female Zealots wear is pretty much identical to what the male ones wear, though. Male zealots go [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless]] which means in fact the female have more covering .
** Note that the other 2 male Chaos classes can be a [[Fetish Fuel]] as well, as the devs commented during pre-release introduction, they are like WWF fighters in bondage gear.
** There was going to be female verson of the other two Chaos classes, the Choosen was basicly (basiced on art) just as covered and heavy armor as the male, the Murader looked like a female Conan with a carb claw, but they were cut.
* [[Pistol
* [[Playing
* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]]: Most Order classes (except Slayers) and a few Destruction ones.
* [[Reverse Grip]]: Witch Elves
* [[Shout
** Although that is probably a reference to ''[[The Guns of Navarone]]''
** The [[Black Knight|Black Guard]] career has an ability called [[Monty Python and
** A quest in one of the Greenskin tier 4 zones is called "I Smish on your Grave", presumably after the infamous "video nasty" [[I Spit
** The Greenskin Choppa ability Git To Da Choppa is a reference to ''[[Predator]]''.
** The Choppa also has a career mastery called Red Goes Faster! which is a reference to Warhammer 40k, where orks would paint their vehicles red. Because of their psychic powers, red vehicles actually do go faster just because the orks believe that they should.
Line 60 ⟶ 58:
* [[Stop Poking Me]]
* [[Sword and Gun]]: Witch Hunters
* [[Third
* [[Twenty Bear Asses]]: Of the "kill X number of monsters" in disguise variety, since in this MMO every bear actually ''has'' an ass.
* [[Wrench Wench]]: Female Dwarf Engineer is pretty literal example.
