Gotrek & Felix
Posted: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:16 MST
I recently got the Gotrek & Felix book, The First Omnibus, which is actually the first 3 books in the series: Trollslayer, Skavenslayer and Daemonslayer. It was good enough to justify buying The Second Omnibus which contains Dragonslayer, Beastslayer and Vampireslayer.
Basically, the series tells the story of Felix, a human warrior-poet that made a blood oath with a dwarf slayer while drunk, saying he would follow him and record his mighty doom. It's action-packed and really helps understand the world of Warhammer as Felix himself is pretty much ignorant of what goes on outside of Altdorf before his adventure begins. As he met and learned about various races that populate the world, I fell in love with all of them. From the brilliant stupidity of the skaven to the gold rush that can drive any dwarf crazy, every race have a few quirks that make them both unique and interesting.
So, to anyone who is looking for some books to read or is curious and wants to know the Warhammer world a little better, the First Omnibus and Second Omnibus offer great stories at a low price. I found them for about $12 each. So that's basically $25 for 6 books of Warhammer fun.
