* MagikarpPower: In the first game, the Black Avengers are a company of dispossessed vigilante farmers you can hire. They're poorly armoured and their fighting skills are only mediocre. But there's around 24 men in the company which is a lot (compare that to the Grudgebringer Infantry that only has 16 soldiers). In the beginning, they make good cannonfodder and that's about it. But with enough experience and a mission where many of your company are given chainmail armour from the dwarves, the Black Avengers are strong enough to go toe to toe against elite enemy infantry. To top if off, the Black Avengers [[PowerOfHate hate Skaven]] so much that they get to re-roll missed attacks on them and seldom flee from collapsed morale when facing Skaven.

* PowerBornOfMadness: Units that have the Frenzy trait, are so psychotically furious that they aren't affected by Fear or Terror and they get double their usual number of attacks.
* ThePowerOfHate: Units with the Hatred trait, have a particular type of enemy they hate (such as the Black Avengers despising Skaven). When fighting that enemy, they get to re-roll a missed attack roll and their Leadership is treated as 10, so they have a 10 out of 12 chance of resisting Fear and Terror rolls.



%%* PyrrhicVictory: Losing a regiment often calls for a mission restart.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Grudgebringers started out as a bunch of drunken and poorly disciplined patrons who formed their mercenary group to spite the Imperial knightly order for rejecting them and hired most of the time by paesants for ale money. When they get hired by the elf Ceridan to thwart the plans of Thanquol, they slowly grow into an heroic EliteArmy that includes people from many nations and races.

%%* * PyrrhicVictory: Losing If you win a regiment often calls for battle but lose too many regiments, you'll need a mission restart.
restart as your campaign won't succeed with so many losses.
