Yes.  The Black Company is GRIM high fantasy.  So all the slavery, raping, and looting you'd expect of a dark age sellsword mob, but now combined with [[Tzimisce|sadistic wizardry]].  You've captured an enemy leader?  Spend a week killing and resurrecting them until their will is broken.  A rival immortal wizard is in your way?  Bury him alive and make it look like someone else did it (cuz eventually he'll dig himself out).  A hundred thousand rebels encircling your city?  Issue pots filled with a [[Nurgle|horrid magic disease]] to a wizard and have them carpet bomb the enemy from the top of their [[Disney|magic carpet]]. The further in the books you get, the grander in scale and creativity in committing Geneva Code violations. 

After all, why not overtune the lethality and brutality of your methods in a setting wherein magic can heal almost every wound and at the very LEAST quadruple a practitioner's life expectancy? This is High Fantasy after all.

The Black Company is stuck in a world wherein the dark perversity of men at a brutal and dirty war meets the dark potential of sorcery resulting in wagonloads of dead.  And for a lot of it, they're not even sure they're killing the side that deserves it.
