** This was the general idea of Vlad von Carstein, who aimed to take over the Empire and convert it to undead to end it's corruption and internal power struggles once and for all, a task which he [[NearVillainVictory almost managed to succeed with]] before he was betrayed by Mannfred on the eveneng before the final decisive battle.

* GoodIsNotNice: While the High Elves are certainly noble, overall good hearted beings, they are still major assholes.



* BerserkButton: Hard-wired into the minds of Temple Guards, who will kill you if you even look at a Slann funny, even if you didn't actually have murderous intent as some Skinks have learned the hard way.



** That is because said stone is every bit as nasty as steel, and Lizardmen don't even need it to kick your ass.



* DumbMuscle: Sort of, the Saurus are are knowledgeable in the art of warfare, but [[CripplingOverspecialisation lack much skill with anything else]], to the point where their dialect is entire war-related. The Kroxigor seem to play it more straight; while they're useful as both workers and shock troops, they're not known for intelligence. (though they may understand more than they appear to)

!!Gods of Order/Law

Less known and present than the Chaos gods (to the point that everyone forgets them), [[http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Gods_of_Law they still exist]]. Out of three (it seems they were more in the past; at least Obscuras has joined Chaos), only one of them is considerably active, as another is trapped and another one doesn't do a lot because of his dislike of change.
