* Another one from the eight edition armybook is the tale of the Chaos Lord Ragnar Painbringer, who attempted to invade a major Wood Elf holding. Of course, Wood Elves being Wood Elves, the trees come alive and attack the warband, and the elves themselves pound them with arrows from afar, killing many. Eventually, Ragnar looks upon this and says "fuck this, bring up the Gorebeasts", and thus did the Northmen bring up the Gorebeast Chariots. Basically like normal chariots, but pulled by hulking Chaos-mutated rhinos. The chariots charge, the elves die, the trees splinter, and the Chaos Warriors, brimming with Viking rage rush into battle, slaughtering the stragglers with Ragnar at the fore.

* Tsar Boris Bokha in general, but particularly the story of him and the great bear Urskin. In order to revive Kislev's ancient Cult of Ursun, Boris underwent the ancient rite of initiating an Ursan priest: The taming of a wild bear singlehanded. So he sets out, and finds a massive beast of legendary proportions. The two battle for an entire day before a massive pack of wolves shows up, drawn by the scent of their blood. Boris leaps to the ''bear's'' defense, killing many wolves with his bare(no pun intended) hands. When Boris is nearly overcome by his wounds, the massive beast returns the favor, tearing the wolves apart with his bare(pun ''very much'' intended) claws. Nearly twenty days pass before Kislevite seachers find the Tsar, with the bear still standing protectively over him, surrounded by wolf corpses. On that twentieth day, the Tsar awakens, and the bear finally lets the rescuers tend to him. For the rest of his life, Boris would ride the bear, which he named Urskin, into battle. Boris eventually died fighting Kurgans near the borders of Troll Country, and Urskin mourned him for a full day before disappearing to the darkness of the North, where it is said he wreaks bloody vengeance on the children of Chaos to this day.

** Singlehandedly slaughtering hundreds of monsters in total darkness so deep it instantly snuffs out any light, all while climbing the interior of a tower so tall it seems to pierce the moon, then sacrificing their hearts on an altar at the very top to receive his Mark of Chaos.

** Singlehandedly slaughtering hundreds of monsters in total darkness so deep it instantly snuffs out any light, light (because the altar within is considered to be too great to be viewed by PunyEarthlings), all while climbing the interior of a tower so tall it seems to pierce the moon, then sacrificing their hearts on an altar at the very top to receive his Mark of Chaos.

* An unnamed Skaven Verminlord pops in unannounced and kills Valten during the fight between Valten and Archaon. Be it in ''Storm of Chaos'' or ''End Times'', the Skaven will always claim Valten.

* In ''The Von Carstein Trilogy'', Vlad von Carstein repeatedly proves himself to be top badass of the Vampires for a reason. He leads a brutal campaign across the Empire, nearly taking every last one of their fortresses. Despite being actually slain multiple times, he manages to use ResurrectiveImmortality to kick some serious ass and be a total OneManArmy. It takes betrayal by his own son and the stealing of the von Carstein ring to stop his campaign.

* Settra, an immortal mummy, fighting against Nagash, who just consumed the Nekaharan god of the Dead and became one himself. [[spoiler: Even though the former lost the battle, he is still defiant to his last breath, and may be coming back for round 2.]]
