*** An army consisting of a single type of powerful unit, such as high-tier archers, war machines, or monsters, which usually requires a very strong late-game economy to afford but can destroy almost anything it faces, is called a "doomstack".

* ''VideoGame/TotalWar'':
** The best way of using melee/shock cavalry units' superior charge bonus and mobility (as well as dealing with their usual inferiority in numbers) over infantry units is to charge them, fight for a few seconds, and then breaking off from combat to reform the unit to charge again. This is referred to as "Cycle charging" by players.
** ''VideoGame/RomeTotalWar'': Eastern Infantry are widely known as "pajama soldiers" because they look ridiculous and die really easily. They've become something of a meme themselves.
** ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammer'': Many nicknames from the tabletop are kept, but there are other ones:
*** Many fans prefer to call the game ''Total Warhammer'' rather than ''Total War: Warhammer'', and even ask why it isn't the former. Another popular one is ''Warhammer Fantasy Battles: Official Ninth Edition''. The developers themselves jokingly asked why it wasn't called ''Total Warhammer'' instead.
*** The fandom has taken a liking to referring Manfred von Carstein as "Mannlet von Carstein".
*** A popular one for Vlad von Carstein is "Vlad the Dad" or "Vladdy dad"
*** Sarthorael the Ever-Watcher is fondly known as "Big Bird" or "Warp Chicken".
*** Orion, the King in the Woods, is often jokingly referred to as [[Creator/MelGibson "Mel Gibson"]] due to [[CelebrityResemblance his perceived resemblance]] to the actor.
*** Volkmar's War Altar is often referred to as [[BlingOfWar "the Pimp Wagon"]] due to how outrageously luxurious it looks for something that is supposed to be brought into war.
** ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerII'':
*** Ulthuan is colloquially referred to as "the Donut", due to its shape being roughly that of a bagel or donut.
*** Mazdamundi is known by some as "Toad Hitler" for his explicitly genocidal outlook. Ironically the Skaven, the ancient enemy of the Lizardmen, are intentionally styled after the Nazis. Other nicknames for him include "Floating Pepe" and "Lord Mobility Scooter".
*** Similarly to Mazdamundi, Tehenhauin is known as "Lizard Hitler" for his genocidal hatred for all Skaven and for being able to instigate a race war against them as part of his campaign mechanics. On the flip-side, many also call him "Lizard Moses" due to being a savior of the Skinks who carries around a massive stone tablet while spreading the word of his god.
*** [=YouTubers=] often refer to the Tomb King's Blessed Legion of Phakth as the "Blessed Legion of Demoeitization" because the name sounds too close to "fucked".
*** "Roomba" for the Tomb Kings' Casket of Souls.
*** "[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Noctilus Prime]]" for Count Noctilus' Necrofex Colossus mount.
*** "[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man]]" for the Mournguls.
*** "Ordertide" for the giant alliance of Order factions [[note]]Empire, Dwarves, Bretonnia and High Elves[[/note]] that tends to form by late game. A wordplay on the "Vermintide", it refers to the ironic reversal of the evil factions having to struggle against endless waves of good guys.
*** "Big Henry" for [[TheBigGuy Henri le Massif]].
*** "DJ Khatep" for Khatep on his Casket of Souls mount (or just for Khatep in general) as it makes him look like a DJ sitting on a podium and a turntable.
*** "Peclis" for Teclis on his Arcane Phoenix mount. This mount is usually just referred to as "the parrot"; similarly, Alarielle's Great Eagle mount is often called "the pigeon".
*** The four legendary hunters that Wulfhart can recruit are referred to as the Wulfhart Four after the [[VideoGame/TheEndTimesVermintide the Ubersreik Five]].
*** "Rango" for Oxyotl since Rango is the only other chameleon character in mainstream popular culture who has many similarities to Oxyotl.
*** Taurox's campaign mechanic isn't exactly what you would call new since it was already tried and proven by Lu Bu in ''Three Kingdoms'', promptly leading to the nickname "Lu Bull".
** ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerIII'':
*** It did not take long after the reveal of Kostaltyn for fans to start calling him [[UsefulNotes/RasputinTheMadMonk Rasputin]] due to his appearance, his insane durability and his role as a religious figure.
*** The OriginalGeneration Daemon Prince [[HelloInsertNameHere can have whatever name the player decides to give him]]. The devs named him [[TomTheDarkLord Daniel]] in a showcase video, and many fans have been following suit. It's also ''very'' common to refer to him as The God-Slayer, a descriptor given to him by the Advisor in the opening cutscene of his campaign.
*** Harald Hammerstorm has for the longest time been refered to as "Harry The Hammer".
*** "Bobby B" for Boris Ursus/Bokha due to his similar appearance to [[Series/GameOfThrones Robert Baratheon]].
*** "Mama Stank" or "Granny Stankylegs" for Mother Ostankya.
*** Before it was swiftly patched up, the bug in 4.1 that made Greasus' speed go from 30 to 400 instead of 40 caused a lot of people to refer to him as [[Film/{{Grease}} "Greasus Lightning"]].
*** Multiplayer community also started using nicknames for some units as always.
*** Lords of Change (especially Kairos) are ironically called "chickens", continuing from the first and second games where Sarthoreal was known as Warp Chicken.
*** Kislev's sledges, being chariots pulled by bears, are called "beariots".
*** "Khornedogs" for the Flesh Hounds of Khorne.
