About this deal

For the Necron Warriors I went with a really simple scheme that can be easily replicated across a large number of models. Metal bodies, Red chests/shoulders/helmets. It’s roughly a 9-to-12 step process.

All of which is a very, very, very long (and quite possibly inaccurate) way of saying: This was a good book that does a fine job of capturing the flavor (excuse me -- flavour) of Warhammer's Old World. This first book is more of a linked series of short stories than a novel, but that's very much in keeping with the sword & sorcery tradition. The trollslayer in question is one Gotrek Gurnisson (trollslayers are dwarves who, to atone for some grievous offence, shave their hair into a Mohawk and set out to kill as many terrible beasties as they possibly can (ideally trolls) before dying in glorious battle); accompanying him as amanuensis is one Felix Jaeger, a human who has some skeletons in his own closet. This book chronicles some of their earlier adventures as they leave civilized lands and encounter all manner of Chaos cultists, beast-men, orcs and other horrors in their wanderings through Old World cities, wilderness and (in one particularly memorable tale) the ruins of an ancient dwarf city. Those of you familiar with Gotrek’s adventures will no doubt be bouncing off the walls with excitement now (we certainly are). For those yet to be acquainted with the Slayer, here’s a brief guide to who he is, what he’s about and where you can find out more. I do this for a darker, richer gold than the Liberator Gold based recipe. There is nothing wrong with turning out Liberator Gold -> Agrax Wash -> Liberator Gold Drybrush -> Auric Gold Drybrush for a very bright gold, but I wanted a deeper gold. Pest control This achievement demands every contract to be fulfilled where monster nests have to be destroyed. Do this on Iorveth's path on an Easy/Normal/Hard run since fighting the Endrega Queens in Act I on Insane is straight up suicide. The story begins with the pair arriving at the village of Blutdorf, on their way to Nuln. They learn the villagers are being held to ransom by a sorcerer in a nearby castle who has abducted their children: however, out of fear, the villagers drug the pair and hand them over to the sorcerer.

If you are on Iorveth's path and do not play on Insane, DON'T spend your points right away but instead do some quests until you have 8 spare points (or 7, if you already invested in Alchemy). Zlo a príšery sú na svete iba kvôli tomu aby mal koho Gotrek zabíjať. Žiadne poslanie, žiadna logika, žiaden cieľ ... ešte je variant, že celý ich svet je vlastne v okolí tej jednej cesty po ktorej kráčali (tzv. slížozem? Na chrbte dvoch mravcov, ktorí plávajú vesmírom stojac ... na tom poslednom hoväde ktoré bučí: KLIŠÉÉÉ) a preto na nich tie príšery vždy narazili. Note : this paragraph is similar to William King’s interview from White Dwarf : November 2018 issue.

Fast forward about seven years to 1998 (I think), and Andy Jones approached me at a convention in the US with the news that GW was returning to the fiction business and would be producing a new magazine, Inferno . That’s where ‘ The Mutant Master’ and ‘ Ulric’s Children’ come from.‘ He was influenced from Fafhrud and the Grey Mouser, and Moonglum and Elric. Of course, he has grown up with Tolkien and the clones that followed. Me veo pues, otra vez, en las fauces de otra saga. El primero de catorce libros, según me fijé la última vez. Sep, no aprendo. De a ratos entretenida, a veces hasta divertida. No particularmente recomendable, pero lo suficientemente buena para pasar un rato de fantasía. Before GW Books ceased publishing new titles I was asked for a book of stories about Gotrek and Felix . I wrote three of them – ‘ The Mark of Slaanesh’, ‘ Blood and Darkness’ and ‘ Skaven’s Claw’ – (which later became the core of the novel Skavenslayer). The book never came out, much to my disappointment, and I thought that was the end of the road for the redoubtable pair.‘

So in addition to the book I bought a couple of the early adventures, which I also read & enjoyed, but that was about it.

The artist has honoured the original cover of the first Gotrek novel by using the same layout, colours and characterful expressions. However, the image is beautifully rendered using contemporary illustration techiques to bring it in line with more modern artwork. It's always dark in here, stupid gnome! And since 18 years I have your bloody axe in my face, so I can't see a thing!" retorted the Iron Breaker. Gotrek and Felix: unsung heroes of the Empire, or nothing more than common thieves and murderers? The truth perhaps lies somewhere in between, and depends entirely upon whom you ask…Since this guide is made in the style of a roadmap, miscellaneous achievements that can be achieved anywhere throughout the game will mostly be treated at the point in the game where I think you should get them. Well, what about the stories about the famous dwarven slayer Gotrek and his human companion Felix?" asked the Rune Priest. I’ve done this a few different ways now and I think starting with Wraithbone is probably the right call, and I’m getting to where it doesn’t take hours to do, which helps a lot. Come and follow me into the attic to a cupboard. Inside the cupboard there are lots of books, games and comics. But what is that? Do you hear the tiny voices coming from 3 cardboard boxes? Let us listen in on what the tiny tin dwarves have to say:
