* WhamEpisode: the ''Warhammer'' World is already a pretty [[CrapsackWorld GRIMDARK]] place to live, but one episode that really hits home is when [[spoiler: Skaven saboteurs derail a German high-speed train, causing hundreds of deaths in the accident.

* NightmareFuel: par the course for the [[CrapsackWorld Warhammer World]], but special mention has to go to the descriptions of the horrific tortures the Dark Elves regularly inflict upon their victims.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: too many to count!
** Thought special mention must go to when the German Army [[spoiler: takes out a PhysicalGod ... with a FantasticNuke]].
** Another special mention must go to the climax of the Battle Of The Quarry, when [[spoiler:an [[TheCavalry armored train arrives with reinforcements]] just in the nick of time, [[CarFu running over thousands of attacking Beastmen crowding the tracks]] in the process]].
** And then again, during the Siege Of Middenheim, when [[spoiler:a B52 Bomber drowns an entire Chaos army in [[KillItWithFire several dozen tons of napalm]].]]
** Not every CMOA is related to warfare and combat. A definite non-combat moment of awesome is when Germany successfully launches her first couple of manned space missions.
** Earth wins one when humanity successfully neutralizes, however unknowingly, a Nurglite daemon trying to use ''Ebola'' as a foothold, and another later, when a few {{Badass Normal}}s stop a Khornate who's taken control of an Iowa-class battleship.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Realizing Tzeentch executed a massive, byzantine plan involving three daemons, two worlds and much manipulation on every side... all with the single objective of dumping Gotrek on Earth.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: yes, believe it or not, there are quite a lot of these in even a [[CrapsackWorld GRIMDARK]] world like ''Warhammer''!
** A Dwarven King who had allied with Germany and also always had a love of star-gazing is honored with a BurialInSpace after he passes away. (On the other hand, that a Medieval Fantasy Dwarf took his final ride on an advanced 21st century rocket could also be a CrowningMomentOfAwesome).
** Not all deities on Warhammer World are malevolent. In one ChristmasSpecial update, [[http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Shallya Shallya, Goddess of Healing and Mercy]], bestows a "small gift" upon children in hospice care suffering from cancer, and on several infertile women desiring to be mothers.
** Another of the ChristmasSpecial updates offers a tiny glimpse into the distant future: [[spoiler: 90 years later, the Warhammer World is notably more advanced and more peaceful, with Germany and presumably The Empire too launching regular space missions to explore the wider universe. The very fact that the world is, you know, ''still around at all'' in 90 years suggests that Chaos may have been successfully contained]].

** One of the updates mentions that, with Germany gone in 2012, Netherlands won the [[TheWorldCup 2014 FIFA World Cup]], delivering a crushing defeat to Brazil in the finals. Come the actual event, the Netherlands did in fact end up facing off against Brazil and inflicting a humiliating defeat on them (though in the 3rd place match, not the final - which, of course, went to Germany).

* AWorldHalfFull: Warhammer World, as in canon, was the ''quintessential'' CrapsackWorld prior to Germany's arrival. Readers, however, are cautiously optimistic though that the Germans and their advanced technology might ''just'' be enough to tip the scales. Only time will tell ... [[spoiler: and indeed, one update offering a small glimpse 90 years into the future shows this ''might'' be the case, and even if Chaos can never be truly defeated, they can at least be contained]].
