There's a forgotten Dwarf Karak full of demons in the far North, where the handful of Dwarves left survive by hiding and using secret passages. When the heroes reach them, they plan their escape, but the planning gets slowed down by them trying to work out how much of their ancestral treasure they can bring with them and which parts to prioritise. Felix steps in and suggests that they're wasting time and should just go now, because surely their lives are more important than any amount of treasure?

Interesting piece of trivia for all Snorri fans out there: Snorri is actually dead in the lore. Way before Snorri got its character fleshed out (i.e. years before the book series), we got to read about his death in battle. It was in a short story included, I think, in the Empire`s 4th edition Army Book. Basically a huge battle develops between the imperials and orcs, the former being helped by a contingent of dwarf slayers, among whom Gotrek, Felix and another salyer called Snorri. At the end of the battle (it's the same battle in which Gotrek utters his now famous line-turned-Special-Rule: "Look Snorri, trolls!"), Felix finds Gotrek next to a recently dug grave, and Gotrek says (with a smile): "Here lies Snorri. He killed four trolls. The last one fell on top of him."

They give the Warhammer world a whole lot of depth.

I made an OP character once, by accident. I'm not joking, I rolled well and made a Half-Orc fighter with 20 strength. I was given a +1 weapon (everyone got something special for their character) and eventually bought plate mail and a shield. The most notable thing to me was when we got assaulted by a demon whose CR was two levels beyond our party and I bodied it easily after about 3 rounds where the rest of the team did nothing to it. I showed up for one round, did half its HP and then killed it in the next round as it tried to flee. The next best thing was when I took 3 rounds to get to the party and killed every creature they fought in two. Man I felt bad. Any monsters that could challenge me would kill the other 4 and anything that could challenge them I would kill easily.

@@insidechaos4913 This is the point of D&D. The fighters are much stronger in fights at early levels and casters run support with heals and utility spells that help you solve puzzles. Casters become stronger in short bursts in the late game, but your fighter types keep the consistency when the chips are down. D&D isn't just about the combat and you shouldn't feel bad for being strong in it. If no one else is having fun it's because the DM isn't giving them enough stuff to do outside of combat.

"Felix...?" The great slayer says confused,hoping aganst hope. The stormcast removed his helm. Felix was silent. Tears began welling up in the dwarf. "Damm bastard...where the hell were ye!?" "Ive been busy. Sorry for being late Gotrek. You coming?" "Damm fuckin right i am! You made an oath! You being some fancy bloke aint changing that!" Felix sighed. "Well? Shall we? Your dooms not waiting itself." "Aye!" The 2 heroes united once again. And perhaps chaos got scared as...well. Where gotrek and felix go,chaos ensues and not the good way for chaos.

The very first mention of Snorri was part of flavour text following a battle report in a White Dwarf magazine. He killed a troll, which fell on and killed him. I'm so happy they made him a recurring, canon character and gave him such a wonderful story

There is only one book dealing with the Skaven trying to conquer Nuln. It is the aptly named skavenslayer.

They’d probably just team up and take on daemons together. Probably pick up Draigo and maybe Corvus or Russ while they’re there.

I have only ever read one godric and Felix short story. it made me fall in love with flares. Seeing this angry dwarf to stubborn to die make his way through an entire chaos cult like a living blenders is one of the most badass things I've ever read.

Here we are 1 year later and Malakai is finaly a lord in Immortal Empires :D

Honestly I got into warhammer through 40k, but I think I’ve ended up appreciating warhammer fantasy a lot more thanks to your videos. Now I’ve got a book series I wanna read so thanks for that.

I've been a fan of this series since a long time (around the time where the William King novels were still coming out), so I'm quite happy to see that the series is still being pikced up and enjoyed by other people. One charm point of the series was how it switched to other characters perspectives, even the villians, whic worked especially well for the skaven centered novels.

One thing I love about Malikai is that he took the Slayer Oath so he could keep making stuff.

The thirsting of Zabbia for Felix in “Serpent Queen” is absolutely hilarious, especially given her “situation”. And on the topic of horny Tomb Queens, and this might just be me, but regardless, I swear that Khalida had similar thoughts as her, but unlike her herald, Khalida had an actual filter whenever she spoke or thought. Also you forgot to add two other characters to the main secondary characters… The first is Kat aka Katerina aka Felix’s future wife who wanted to go adventuring with Felix and Gotrek but Felix said no for obvious reasons. She actually saved Felix when they first met from a Khorne follower. The other being Otto Jaeger, the brother of Felix who got letters from Felix to “hold on to” until Felix returned to publish as a book, but in stead published them as a incredibly successful books series called “My Travels with Gotrek” mostly due to the sheer unbelievability of what they went through that (I think) it was believed that Felix was just making stuff up and *no one* thought it was actually true in the slightest.

Throughout the entire video all I was thinking was; "You forgot Thanquol, you forgot Thanquol, you forgot- FINALLY".

In bloodbowl short stories they pop up and help a coach get his murdered player back to the arena wrapped up in a carpet. They don’t know there’s a dead guy in there until he starts leaking out

You did this to me. It was 40k novels only and then i looked into these two. The crusade continues in the old world. I honestly really enjoy the grim dark but without the difficult to imagine numbers. Plus the humor is pretty nice. Thank you my friend

These were some of the best novels I've ever read, nevermind just in the Fantasy universe. Just outright belly laughs. Everything about Warhammer Fantasy was wonderful, but these novels hold a loving place in my heart. They did so many good things for the world lol
