History YMMV / IronKingdoms

* GameBreaker: ''Lots'' of things, especially before the Mk. II revamp.

* AccidentalInnuendo: One female warcaster, Ashlynn De'Elyse, has a spell that makes entire groups of enemies less likely to hit in melee, less capable of self-defense and completely unable to operate firearms for a time. The spell's name? [[DistractedByTheSexy Distraction.]]

* Lich Lord Malathrax. He's only appeared in stories that come with the books, and yet many are the fans who want him to have a model of him, or at the very least a picture of him so they can see what he looks like.

* CrackIsCheaper: If you put money into this game, you probably don't have much more for drug habits...
** It's way cheaper than either Warhammer though.

* FanNickname: "Darth Stryker" and "Poledance Haley" for the Epic versions of two Cygnaran warcasters, and "the elf b****" or "soulless elven hooker" for the Iosan mercenary Eiryss. This particular editor refers to the Epic version of Khadoran warcaster Vladimir Tzepesci as "Captain [[ShouldersOfDoom No-Peripheral-Vision]]."
** Also, Cryxian bonejacks with two feet and no arms are nicknamed "chickens," while some Dwarven warjacks with two very flat feet, no arms and a gun implanted on their backs are called "gun bunnies."
** Gorman "Darkwing Duck" Di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist.
** ''Pimp Daddy Thagrosh''.
** Banelord "Tartarsauce" Tartarus. Banelord Tartarsauce was so widely used among the residents of the Privateer Press Forums that new-comers would be very confused, wondering what this new model was. It became such a problem that the phrase Tartarsauce now word-filters to Tartarus.
** "Madeleine Corb-ho" for Madelyn Corbeau, Ordic Courtesan. More popularly referred to simply as "The Whore," because she will work for ''every'' WARMACHINE faction, even [[ChurchMilitant the Protectorate]] and [[TheNecrocracy Cryx]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Not that many, if any, of these helmet wearing characters are necessarily heroic in the first place.

* TheWoobie: Subverted, You'd think Nayl would be one, considering he's a purely unemotional killer whose very existence is loathed by his people and who literally lacks a soul. But it seems he may be developing a personality, or at the very least understand the concept of Love, in terms of "Nayl Loves Learning How To Kill. Nayl Loves Killing More''. If he does develop a personality, all signs indicate that it's going to enjoy the constant carnage that defines his [[strike:life]] soulless existence.
* TierInducedScrappy: Many are, but Sorscha and Epic Vlad probably go through it the most.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Warmachine Mk II is a welcome update or a D&D 4th Edition level travesty depending on who you talk to.
** Negative opinion of Mk. II has gone ''WAY'' down since they released the officially finished rules, so you could call this case an aversion of the trope.

* NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognize: A variant. In ''Longest Night,'' the first Iron Kingdoms product, the [=PCs=] get a description of the villain, and out of the hundreds (if not thousands) of people in the city who fit the description, figure out who the villain is solely because she's the one they happen to have (coincidentally) met.

* CharacterAlignment: In keeping with the setting's D&D origins, each of Immoren's gods personifies one of these.

** Of course, given Privateer's rather tongue-in-cheek attitude, many of these are [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar probably not accidental]].
