* AntiHero: Gotrek drinks, curses, bloodily dispatches his enemies, he's rude, condescending towards humans and elves, and causes wide-scale property damage, but many times his heart is in the right place and he's trying to help. He even goes out of his way to help a friend. Felix can also be a womanizing sleazeball, but he too generally wants to do the right thing, goes out of his way to rescue people in need (especially if they are a pretty girl), and is a very loyal friend to Gotrek.

* BreakingOldTrends: Ulrika is the first Legendary Hero who can be recruited by multiple factions, in this case the Empire and Kislev[[note]]Gotrek and Felix are excluded from this due to their mercenary style mechanics.[[/note]]
* GlassCannon: As a Legendary Hero, Ulrika is offensively a powerhouse between being able to attack from afar, in melee, and use the lore of shadows. Defensively though, she doesn't have a lot of armor, so she can't take a lot of damage. Due to her vampire classification, she does have HP regen as long as her leadership is high, but without some attention, she can die quickly.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: She really, REALLY hates vampires for her current state and the tragedies she had to experience after being given the blood kiss. Even one of her promotional pics has her saddled on a horse while raising her blade to strike a Vampire Lord.
* MagicKnight: She is a fighter skilled with the rapier and she is also a wizard of the lore of shadows.
* SensualSlavs: An attractive kislevite ActionGirl.
* TokenHeroicOrc: One of the few vampires in the ''Warhammer'' setting who is genuinely heroic rather than simply AffablyEvil (like Genevieve, a fellow vampire), evidenced by serving in the rosters of both the Empire and Kislev.

!Gotrek Gurnisson and Herr Felix Jaeger



Gotrek & Felix appear in the second game as a Legendary Lord and Hero (both Heroes in multiplayer) respectively, recruitable only to Empire, Bretonnian and Dwarf factions. Rather than being recruited conventionally, they can be hired for 30 turns before they depart to parts unknown once again, though they may always return later. Both the player and the AI can gain control of them. They are also present in the third game's ''Immortal Empires'' combined map, where they can also be recruited by Cathay and Kislev, and as of Patch 5.0, both Gotrek and Felix are permanent Legendary Heroes who can be earned by completing a special quest battle.

Unlike the average ''VideoGame/TotalWar'' game, which features conventional, distinctive-but-similar human armies, the playable armies of the ''Total War: Warhammer'' trilogy [[MassiveRaceSelection are vastly different from each-other in appearance, mechanics and even species]] from the ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'' setting, [[CastHerd necessitating individual pages to describe them in detail]].
