Gotrek & Felix

The characters and name of a classic series from GW's Black Library, the series is on the top tier of the library's publications alongside Gaunt's Ghosts by Dan Abnett. It is pity then the quality of the series has gone downhill somewhat in the most recent books, as BL is milking the series now and stringing it out in the name of the noble profit.

Characters

Gotrek: The most manly dwarf ever (ironic turn of phrase noted), he's butchered his way through so many legions of monsters and grunts it just makes your balls shrivel in honest to gods jealously. Armed with a mighty rune axe that might just have been the weapon of a Dwarf Ancestor God, Gotrek kicks so much ass it is surprisingly he doesn't have his own busty elf cheerleading squad (which he can then butcher to his heart's content).

Felix: The Robin to Gotrek's batman, Felix is the dwarf's pet human/toy/memoir writer who is travelling with the dwarf to record his death poem. Constantly in terror he is going to get killed one of these days to the extent it get annoying. Constantly picks up a new busty wench for nooky in nearly every book. His long golden hair must have a magic appeal.

The series

Written first by William King (before it taken off him by BL for some random reason) and then given to a bunch of other writers to continue, the series at first followed the ingenious idea of naming the book after whatever is going to feel Gotrek's axe thumping into their heads. So you ended up with titles such as Trollslayer, Skavenslayer, Dragonslayer etc. Recently though they have dropped this brillant approach to wack any old title on the cover. This can only confirm the fact BL and GW is stretching out the series as far as they can, as they have literally used up all the possible names to slay things with that they can.
