* BunnyEarsLawyer: Tellis of the Iron Warriors is simultaneously a discussed and subverted example. He is certainly one of the most deadly Raptors of the 38th Company, to the point that he's a powerful Champion of Khorne and gets the Blood God's direct attention occasionally. He's also one of the Legion's worst soldiers: Tellis has no attention span, barely listens to his own side, and doesn't care for tactics beyond flying headlong into a fight. Tellis has repeatedly ruined his Company's battle plans by going on his own and slaughtering anything he finds.

* CelestialBureaucracy: Discord's latest job is working in one of these, but it's for the Dark Gods and its somewhere in the Warp. He's shown to be either approving or denying prayers to Tzeentch, and the whole thing feels like an office building (complete with water cooler banter with some of Slaanesh's "employees").
** Discord is not amused by the amulet that Serith gave to Twilight, and tells Spike that the cursed artifact that Spike put on is a lawsuit waiting to happen; the new daemon inside it didn't offer Spike a contract of any sort in exchange for its power, and has the nerve to go for full mutation for its drawback.
* CharacterDevelopment: In droves from everyone. The Equestrians start out innocent and pure, but eventually get used to the prospect of constant warfare and become more-or-less Chaotic servants while still being somewhat chipper. The 38th Company is still evil and Chaotic, but there is a noticeable relaxation of their violent urges. Serith muses on how their time on Equestria has changed them in Book 5.
