Put On A Bus is where they explain that the character went away somewhere.


* PutOnABus: Halflings of all sorts, even as Dogs of War units, were written out of the game in 7th and 8th edition. Even then, their army only ever appeared in 5th edition, and was essentially fan-made, although they had appeared as Empire troops in 4th and 3rd edition.

* PutOnABus: After ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyBattle'' 3rd edition and ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'' 1st edition, gnomes vanished from the tabletop and the lore of ''Warhammer'' as a whole.

* ImprovisedWeapon: In the halfling army, the units tend to carry very improvised or makeshift weaponry. Two of their units are farming machinery repurposed into warmachines and a literal flock of very, very angry poultry that is driven towards the enemy. The Housewives unit is flavored as being armed with all manner of womanly tools; rolling pins, frying pans, brooms, mops, barrels, etcetera. This is even reflected in the models, which are often carrying improvised gear, like a dartboard as a shield.

* BattleCry: Empire units tend to use "Sigmar!" or "Heldenhammer!" in honor of the Empire's first Emperor and prime deity. Another popular one runs "We are Sigmar's heirs! They are Sigmar's foes!" This pisses off Ulric-worshippers, who consider their god to be the Empire's true god of war, to no end.
* {{BFS}}: Imperial Greatswords, the elite soldiers and bodyguards of the Imperial state troops, fight with masterfully forged zweihander swords that are as long as their wielder is tall. Greatswords are capable of employing these massive blades with great skill, and with strength enough to cleave a knight and his horse in two with a single blow. In-game, zweihanders are great weapons, boosting the wielder's strength at the cost of speed in combat.

** Approximately 1400 years ago in-universe, Emperor Mandred Skavenslayer who had seen the Empire through the worst crisis since Sigmar was assassinated. For 200 years, the Empire was without an Emperor. Then the electors finally made their decision, electing the Sigmarite Elector-Count of Stirland. The Elector-Countess of Talabecland, Ottilia, declared herself Empress, claiming that the election was a sham (there were also religious issues relating to Sigmar's divinity), with the support of the cults of Ulric and Taal. The two sides went to war and Ottilia won a decisive victory, defeating the electoral Emperor in a huge battle.
