Unapproved Magnificent Bastard entry and not YMMV

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The video game adaptation of ''Xenos'' is serviceable if you want an interactive version of the book, but clumsy combat, shoddy character models and animation, and railroaded gameplay (despite the many diverse environments of the book, you are never given reign to explore them) make it a poor standalone video game.
* VillainDecay: Pontius Glaw goes from a charmingly evil MagnificentBastard in ''Malleus'' to a whining PsychopathicManchild in ''Hereticus''. [[spoiler: He does, however, manage to wipe out most of Eisenhorn's retinue in ''Hereticus'', so he's still pretty dangerous.]]

this is specific enough to be The Pirates Who Dont Do Anything

* InformedAttribute: Eisenhorn has very little interaction with aliens despite being a member of the Ordo Xenos, and seems to have made a career of locking up heretics.

Added DiffLines:
* AnticlimaxBoss: A relatively minor villain in ''Xenos'' is shown to be an ungodly powerful psyker. Not only could he force the submission of a Chaos Space Marine, he was able to tear a cipher for the [[spoiler: Necroteuch from the walls of the saruthi tetrascape. He ''forced a wall'' to divulge its secrets with the power of his mind. It left him largely burned out, though, too weak to stop Heldane from just shooting him.]]
** At the end of Hereticus, a Daemonhost [[spoiler:that belongs to Glaw]] was thought to be stronger than Cherubael by dint of being less stringently bound. Cherubael was apparently strong enough that he wiped the floor with it anyway, [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome though we don't get to see it]]. He does make a note about being nastier than Eisenhorn ever imagined.

* MoralEventHorizon: Every Chaos worshipper has already crossed the horizon at one point. However, a few examples stand out:
** Gorgone Locke's ColdBloodedTorture of Eisenhorn
** Cherubael's threat to Eisenhorn and Bequin at the climax of ''Xenos'' firmly establishes him as someone utterly evil:
-->''I will break every bone in your body and rape that girl by your side. And break every bone in her body. Then I will drag your jiggling carcasses down to the cathedral and burn out your agony centres while I wait for the bombardment to flatten this place''
