Hello friends! Please, keep in mind this is a very general overview of the story of Gotrek and Felix. There are more than a dozen novels about these iconic duo of adventurers. Check out the video description for links of interest if you want to know more about these characters, get the novels, etc. I hope you enjoy this episode!
"SPOILERS" Small bit, didn't Gotrek go the nearest "high" dwarf lord sometime after his finding his dead family, and ultimately ended up murdering them all for not caring and snickering about his loss, trying to seize him, the shame of murdering a lord and his guards made him take up the oaf? Great videos man, keep making them.
@@TheLightvalley Although that is all true you should probably put a spoiler alert on it. Not knowing Gotreks crime (for a while) is such an intrinsical hook to the series
Hello there Chronosphere 4 and anyone else that sees this comment I just want to tell you that Jesus loves you and repent to of your sins so you can inherit God's kingdom and get the free gift of eternal
Gotrek goes into the portal to fight all of chaos. He goes in and passes out. He wakes up and finds some sick looking futuristic armor: Intro to DOOM 2016 starts playing
@michel durant the Elves started the great war with the Dwarfs and lost it. It's the reason the Dwarfs hate the Elves so much because of there treachery.
To anyone watching this: Read the Felix&Gotrek books, they are amazing. It's a perfect series for anyone new to the Warhammer universe, because you get to know a lot of factions, their society and their armies. The stories often kinda read like a D&D campaign, because Felix&Gotrek are accompanied by companions of various skillsets on their journeys.
I would say read William King and Nathan Long’s run. From what I’ve seen the books after Long take a nose dive in quality. But they at least end the series
I've been reading the series for 2 years now and I love them. Gotrek and Felix got me into reading Warhammer Chronicles books and I can't wait to get into The Legend of Sigmar.
@Karl Franz , Emperor of Mankind, chosen of Sigmar Taxes are too high and there are giants rats in the sewers. Have you summoned the Elector Counts yet?
say what you want, but Grimnir and the slayer cult is one of the top tier levels of badass literally walking straight into hell to fight whatever evil he could find
i know right. some don't even take the oath out of dishonor but, like Gotrek, because they have nothing left to live for. and then the enemy doesn't have the skill to put them out of their misery. as much of a badass as Gotrek is, i pity him. then again the mortal realms needed him badly cause he's such a total badass XD
Whenever I play dwarves in total war: warhammer two I have an army with ungrim as the leader and most of the slots being slayers and just letting them loose on everything.
I actually met them on my TK campaign yesterday, they must have fought someone else because when saw them their army was made only of both heroes, and like two wounded units I didn't even know who they were, I just saw some dwarf leading an almost dead army So I sent Settra to annihilate them just for the XP, and then I was surprised when he got a perk for killing them Anyway... Should I feel bad about-it, or glad he got the death he wished for?
Chaos Lord: You are without a doubt the greatest and worst slayer I’ve ever heard of. Gotrek: *In most Brian Blessed voice* YES I KNOW DAMN IT! *caves in Chaos lord’s head in one blow* And now your skull joins the song of Gotrek Gurnisson!! Write that down Manling! Felix: 😓
Brian Blessed does not have the low gritty voice needed to do Gotrek. The books say his voice is like boulders grinding together or ice cracking. Brian sounds like a jolly uncle.
To be honest Gotreks part is the only thing I liked about the end times. Then Age of Sigmar had to fuck it all up. I loved the idea that Gotreks destiny was to hold back the demonic hordes the same way as Grimnir had in ancient times. But yeah FUCK THE END TIMES AND FUCK AOS!
@@LukasJampen Tbf, the End Times had some slightly good moments. You can't deny Thorgrim Grudgebearer's ultimate killing move against Queek Headtaker. Crushing that bastard Skaven's throat while listing off every grudge against him.
@Tharr Mortus it's the chaos witch Morsenna that has kept Felix young throughout the years. So that he would be fit enough to do what he was destined to do
“Neither Sigmar nor Nagash could be reached for comment, but we have received an exclusive written response from the four gods of the Ruinous powers. It reads... ‘He’s your problem now. No take backs.’ ... Well, that’s ominous.”
So basically: Elves and every other race: You're short, stupid, and nobody likes you. Dwarves, who just want friends: :( .... *book of grudges scribbling* Humans: You dwarves are alright. Come visit and have a beer sometime! Gotrek: :) Felix: :)
@@fumarc4501 As far as I know, in the old world, Humans typically treated Dwarves with kindness. I can't find any lore that mentions Humans and them having conflict. So basically, that means we're their only friends.
@@InvaderPivot The dwarfs are responsible for mankind's guns and steam tanks by proxy, and personally forged Sigmar's hammer. So yeah as close to friends as the dwarfs ever get.
@Invader Pivot Some Humans are dicks, especially if they mistake a Dawi for a Halfling... Otherwise the Empire trades regularly with elves, ogres, **cough**skaven**cough** and Dwarf strongholds.
@@VioletDeathRei Kinda pulls at your heart a little, when you realize every other race who's interacted with the Dawi has tried to drive them into extinction. Or harm them somehow. Meanwhile, humanity is the only exception. Really shows you the good side of our race.
Gotrek didn't despise Felix killing Skalandir at all. And they didn't fight after. Gotrek only ever struck Felix once, in the last novel, like 7 books later.
1 thing you forgot about the orgins of gotrek was that he slew the dwarf lord the was supposed to protect his village, That's the reason he became a slayer
One mistake, Gotrek didn't take his oath until after he killed his Lord because the Lord wouldn't mount a gruge raid against those that had killed his family. The Lord ordered his guards to take him into custody so he couldn't rally others to his cause, and because Gortek refused to be taken prisoner, he laid about him with Grimar's Axe. There, with the blood of his own kin on his hands, he took his slayer oath in that very hall with the bodies of his kin surrounding him.
Playing total war games for a long time. When I meet warhammer, I have no idea of the Lore. This channel helps me to understand the game. Man, Thank you.
I remember reading in the White Dwarf that Realmslayer, his first book in AoS, could be interpreted as an allegory for fans of WHFB growing accustomed to this new world.
I'll definitely listen to the Realmslayer audiodrama whenever I want to start learning more about AoS.😃 Would love to see the Mortal Realms from Gotrek's perspective.
The Book of Choyer AoS was my introduction into Warhammer in general, but your channel definitely helped me in learning about the World That Was. Keep up the good work mate.
@@TheBookofChoyer Honestly the two realmslayer book's are fantastic the voice acting is 10/10 and the story is a good introduction into learning about AoS as Gotrek is also new to this new world and obviously hate's it which leads to hilarious scenario's with him a fan of warhammer fantasy that point's out all the bad of age of sigmar.
Primarch of Legion II no thanks. They’d make Felix a woman of color and when Gotrek says “They will fall by my axe! It’s power is immeasurable!” Felix “It will be.... once it’s held by a woman.”
About time. This duo is my favorite of any fantasy setting. King and Long's books are the pinnacle of fantasy. Love it when Gotrek goes catatonic from depression when the chaos invasion is thwarted but he was too busy saving the Empire from another threat and couldn't take part in the war.
Gotrek's axe is one of the most powerful rune weapons of the dwarves in the beginning of times (when the most powerful runes and enchantments were known) so it seems pretty balanced that he is so op with such an op item in his possession. Not sure if his axe was one of the axes of grimnir. In the daemonslayer book, more info is told about the origin of his weapon
FUmarc the sword of Kaine, the slayer of kings , sigmars warhammer , the moon bow of alith anar , grimnirs twin axes. There are probably a lot more weapons. But when a weapon is powerful in warhammer fantasy it really does make them powerful. Heck even a few suits of armor can make the wearer invincible.
The way you speak is very reminiscent of the narrator from Fallout: New Vegas. I approve of this. And Gotrek is an awesome character, my favourite in all of warhammer actually, and the fact that Brian Blessed himself voices him in both Total War: Warhammer II and the newest audiobooks makes it even better.
I hate how Felix never gets any credit. Felix saved Gotrek and the entire crew of the spirit of grungi by blocking a stream of dragon fire. He even invoked the power of the dwarf gods to save Gotrek at Karag Dum and chucked a warhammer at a bloodthirster.
It was his sword, later the 2 sorcerers of tzenhz reveal that during the fight with the dragon the sword takes control and felix is nothing more than a puppet
Ya honestly I don't like the second author who writes the Gotrek novels. Felix should never struggle with a single orc, the dude fought Dragons, Chaos warriors, and wounded a Bloodthirster of Khorne! And that was before the 20 year time skip of time he would grow into an even more dangerous warrior!
Grimnir went out with two of his axes to seek his doom and split some demon heads in the process. His son followed him for a long time, when Grimnir finally ordered him to return and handing him one of his powerful axes. The axe Grimnir handed over to his son is now in the hands of the Dwarven High King, while his other axe perished alongside him, until...
Jesus, what a video, fantastic, i had little knowledge about those two characters, and now i'am fully hyped, what an amazing content, i'am even willing to find out more about those characters. Great video, thank you a lot!
Idc if know one sees this but I need it somewhere to remember. I would absolutely love to see a short movie going through this duos adventure and seeing there friendship develop over their lives but unfortunately realizing that Felix is now dead and gotric is the one remembering his late friend.
Gotrek: I seek a glorious death! One worthy of legend! (world literally ends torn apart in a catastrophic Warp Storm) Gotrek: I SAID A GLORIOUS DEATH! ONE WORTHY OF LEGEND!
The first time I heard of Gotrek I wasn't moved. "Another one of _those_ dwarfs". But now, after hearing about the.. not even "legendary" reaches the amount of positivity that his stories reach. THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR IT! This man is not a force of nature, for nature bows to him. He is not legendary, because that only describes his dung. he isn't "badass", because badassery is something he practices in his sleep. He isn't even epic, because not even an epic character reaches Gotrek's level. Gotrek is beyond words. Beyond our understanding. He is, and shall be, both the best and worst slayer of all time- across ever reality.
After finally finishing the Witcher series, I'm torn: Do I want a Castlevania style animated series (Brian Blessed voicing Gotrek) or do I want a live action series with Henry Cavill playing Felix.
Felix has killed dragons as well. his sword gives him powers against them. it's a lot like gotreks axe, only it actually takes power over felix. the scene where he kill the dragon with it for the first time is amazing. I'd highlight recommend the first 3 omnibus at least. I've not read beyond those.
I accidentally found this chanel and I must say I love it! I've watched almost every of your videos in the WH fantasy lore playlist. Please, could you make a video for Kraka Drak - the Norse Dwarfs? I couldn't find any video about their lore on youtube. Keep doing what you are doing because it is just great, Cheers!
wow thanks a lot for your words Tomislav. I have certainly heard about them but I wonder if is there enough lore about the norse dwarfs. Will have a look though! Again, thank you!
Man i love this best narrator through and no tit talk. Gotrek and Felix could be a potential protagonist of warhammer fantasy movie i hope they make one LETS GOOO!!
Plot twist: The axe was made by Tzeench, he made it just to fuck with Gortek cause he knew Dwarves eventually take the oath and so he would never die... Same as he made Ultramarines invincible simply to fuck with the God-Emperor, cause they keep on chanting their ultrasmurf song into he Emperor's ears driving him mad.

This video is to short given all the history of these characters
17:33
The planet broke before gotrek did.
Gotrek wasn’t trapped with the Gods of Chaos,
The Gods of Chaos were trapped with Gotrek!
More like the universe broke before gotten did
"I've sworn to die in battle but outlived a world!"
Amusing reference.
End Times is still a noncanon dumpster fire
Gotrek didn’t even break then. He literally fought his way to AoS. Nothing can stop this Dwarf, not even the end of days slowed him down.
gortek could might as well say:"LET GODS STRIKE ME DOWN WHERE I STAND" *LIGHTING STRIKING HIM*
*he is fine* "DAMN IT".
" *WHY CAN'T I JUST DIEEEEEE* "
I think that actually happened to him once.
I can just imagine the gods looking at that, then the one who sent the lightening bolt. "Hey, I tried!"
Grimnir killed him just to revive him back a moment later. Poor bastard.

Get the fuck up dwarf, we got a hell to burn

But when a weapon is powerful in warhammer fantasy it really does make them powerful. Heck even a few suits of armor can make the wearer invincible.

Gotrek is beyond words. Beyond our understanding. He is, and shall be, both the best and worst slayer of all time- across ever reality.
You can hire them BOTH as companions in the new Warband mod Warsword winds of magic.
After finally finishing the Witcher series, I'm torn:
Do I want a Castlevania style animated series (Brian Blessed voicing Gotrek) or do I want a live action series with Henry Cavill playing Felix.
It’d be hard to do a live action Gotrek. So why not an animated series with Henry Cavill voicing and modeling for Felix?
I want an animated dark action comedy Gotrek and Felix series!
Gotrek and felix are literally the reason I love Warhammer. Gotrek is so legendary
The music when Felix Jaegers part starts is awesome! 😃
Considering getting Gotrek for Age of Sigmar. He’s an absolute powerhouse!
It’s the presence of Gotreks axe that keeps them both full of vitality.
Thank you. I've always wanted a Gotrek and Felix lore video.
Another day, another great video
Excellent video as always!!your work guys is getting better and better with each passing week!can't wait for the next episode
When you look at his model and listen to the line about oaths and getting this axe back, he's clearly talking to GW
my favorite duo thank you for making this!
ive heard that gotrek have a third fist under his beard
You should see what he keeps in his pants.
He named it Chuck
He cut it off and it became Chuck Norris.
It's BRIAN BLESSED!!
so far i liked this one more, nice narration
These overviews always give me goosebumps😍😍

He is a living legend itself.
knowing he would not return from this quest, HE WENT FULL SCOTTISH.
Very well done video! You managed to succinctly tell a very long tale and you did it well.
I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend!😃
Have a comment to help with the TH-cam algorithms
I saw this video a year ago and final listened to the 5 currently available books and the 2 end time books, glad I did
Gotrek and Felix: the best duo in Warhammer history.
Gotrek is basically the Doomslayer except ~3 feet shorter and not wearing any of that namby pamby armor
Felix has killed dragons as well. his sword gives him powers against them. it's a lot like gotreks axe, only it actually takes power over felix. the scene where he kill the dragon with it for the first time is amazing. I'd highlight recommend the first 3 omnibus at least. I've not read beyond those.
I accidentally found this chanel and I must say I love it! I've watched almost every of your videos in the WH fantasy lore playlist.
Please, could you make a video for Kraka Drak - the Norse Dwarfs? I couldn't find any video about their lore on youtube.
Keep doing what you are doing because it is just great,
Cheers!
wow thanks a lot for your words Tomislav. I have certainly heard about them but I wonder if is there enough lore about the norse dwarfs. Will have a look though! Again, thank you!
There needs to be a live action or even animated series about these two from birth to meeting to their or just Gotreks end being a Slayer.
Another great video and its about my favourite Fantasy and now AOS character Gotrek.
Can we just all agree on the Head Canon that Gotrek Gurnisson is a new Ancestor God now?
Wolf riders was the first book I read about the duo
an legendary axe and a dwarf slayer who seek glorious death is a powerful arsenal to have
And Gotrek still searches for his friend, Felix
Gotta love the fact that the world broke before Gotrex did
Man i love this best narrator through and no tit talk. Gotrek and Felix could be a potential protagonist of warhammer fantasy movie i hope they make one LETS GOOO!!
"Wow i wonder how he end his adventure"
*Time End*
"Oh .... welp guess i can still imagine a correct ending"
How about 'Time starts over and he comes back'?
Exactly. Ignore the "end times", they are garbage and almost no one recognizes them. Imagine what might have happened for them after Storm of Chaos
It's like Gimli (but cooler) but Aragorn (and somewhat also Legolas) as his sidekick
You forgot to mention that gotrek is looking for Felix in age of sigmar
Holy crap, your videos are BEYOND great quality. Dude, instant subscribe and bell activation. AWESOME! Cheers from Brazil!
Cheers Lucas! I'm glad to hear that🙌😃 Welcome to the channel.
great video the only problem whit it, is that now i want to read the books
Gotrek & Felix got me hooked on Warhammer
LOVE THE NOVELS
Plot twist: The axe was made by Tzeench, he made it just to fuck with Gortek cause he knew Dwarves eventually take the oath and so he would never die... Same as he made Ultramarines invincible simply to fuck with the God-Emperor, cause they keep on chanting their ultrasmurf song into he Emperor's ears driving him mad.
Felix Jaeger's name is a joke, Lucky Hunter who never finds what he's looking for, namely to record Gotrek's death.
when i confederate with westland, i found gotrek and felix under my command, but next turn, they disappeared with a message "duty calls"
I've yet to get them. If that happened to me I'd scream my head off
Gotrek is a temporary Lord
The best bros in Total War Warhammer and probably the funniest
“...The greatest monster hunter the world has ever known.”
*Wulfrik wants to know your location.*
I’d love a Warhammer Fantasy version of Tuska! Why should dwarves have all the demon killing?
@@fumarc4501 It's just Tuska then, in the warp you can get lost and end up in many weird realms.
So he can stay as far away as possible.
Wulfrik vs Gotrek.... Now that'd be a battle and a half
All I hope for is for Gotrek to finally find Felix. Stormcast or otherwise... Just closure for both of them. Poor Felix.. Poor Gotrek.
