* DontGoIntoTheWoods: The forests of the Old World cover vast swathes of land, including most of the Empire. Almost everything that lives in them is ''very, very bad''. There's hordes of savage Beastmen that will devour you. Roaming bands of Forest Goblins that will slowly torture you to death for sport. Xenophobic Wood Elves that will just as likely turn you into a living pincushion, then help you out of the woods. Mechanically, Beastmen and Wood Elves will get bonuses when fighting within forests, and will likely be, on the campaign and battle map, the most likely spots for ambushes.

** The Warriors of Chaos sport the Aspiring Champions, a pack of borderline mini-bosses with magical blades and shields who inspire their fellow Warriors of Chaos to continue the brutal bloodshed while curb stomping nearly any other infantry unit in the game. And making matters worse, these guys also have Vanguard Deployment. There's also the infamous Chaos Chosen essentially, a direct upgrade from the standard Chaos Warrior units, viking Huscarls blessed by the power of Chaos Undivided, and even share the same three variations of axe-and-shield, halberd and greataxe. Their also ''far stronger'' then regular Chaos Warriors, wearing even tougher armor, and wielding stronger weapons. They cost ''a ton'' but are easily the best infantry unit in the game, and will handily stop their equivalents into the ground.

* DemotedToExtra: A number of canon characters appear as the default lords of certain factions, but they're otherwise generic Lords with nothing special about them and aren't even immortal. The Imperial Elector Counts and the Bretonnian Dukes are the most numerous, but Kazador Dragonslayer of Karak Azul and Gorfang Rotgut of the Red Fang are especially prominent examples as they were both Legendary Lords in previous tabletop editions. Boris Todbringer, Elector Count of Middenland, would eventually be made a Legendary Lord with the Beastmen DLC. Kazador also received a small update with ''The Silence and the Fury'' and coreresponding FLC, as he has a unique trait now and plays some role in Thoreks Ironbrow campaign.
