Kinslayer - Book I of The Doom of Gotrek Gurnisson.

[White Tiger88]

I understand the disappointment in the death of Ulrika. Had it happened in a film, I'd suspect some scenes had been left on the cutting room floor. Personally I have no issue with how she died at the hands of Felix, but it just felt a bit tacked on. This could be because it's utterly overshadowed by Snorri's doom just a few pages later, and just how well that was done.

I really, really hope we've not seen the last of her. As has been said, Vampires have natural regenerative powers and to boost that, Ulrika had been feasting on Troll blood (the book takes some pains to point out just how ridiculously regenerative Trolls are!). That'd be pretty cool in the second book.

Wonder if there'll be early bird copies available at Warhammerfest?

Ulrika: REGENERATIONNNNN FTW *Smashes felix & friends heads in*

Ulrika: REGENERATIONNNNN FTW *Smashes felix & friends heads in*

You know what would be really, really, really cool?

Gotrek defeats and smashes up The Dark Master, and a regenerated Ulrika, knowing Felix will never accept her gift whilst Gotrek is about, brings Gotrek his doom, then forcibly turns Felix.

That would be quite an end! (and the book does say 'Gotrek and Felix Concludes in Slayer'

I still think we will be lucky to see Ulrika back at all. Write those letters! As much as I would like there to be some point to the disgusting way she was killed I don't have enough faith in BL to believe it.

I'm not sure anything but old age can bring Gotrek his doom. He's killed just about everything from Vampires to Dragons. I'm all for Ulrika making a comeback but for her to off Gotrek just wouldn't be right. He's fought and killed far more powerful beings than her. It would be an anti climax to his previous feats. If anyone's read all of the books (I have) it's pretty hard imagining anything killing him.

[eldargal]

Agreed, i don't think any more of the group should die at the hand of any others. But especially not women at the hands of ex-lovers.><

[Mr Mystery]

Something is going to job Gotrek - though the revelation about his Shame, and it being Snorri's fault? Who knows how that impacts Gotrek's oath? Probably won't like.

And think back to Elfslayer - that Slaaneshi Daemon promised Gotrek would meet his doom at one more powerful than he.

[Deadlift]

I can't see his doom anytime soon, Gotrek is too iconic. I hope he has an integral part of these "end times" and gets a new model in the process.

[George Labour]

Probably a bad place to ask, but whatever happened to Felix's wife he was going to spend his life with in Zombieslayer? I vaguely recall her surviving that book but haven't picked up a Gotrek novel since then. Just to many other books to read, and models to paint. XD

[Mr Mystery]

She is there, sort of.

She hasn't recovered at all from Kemmler's attack.

[George Labour]

Oh? That's a pity because I actually liked her more than Ulrika. Not only was she an interesting link between the original short stories but she was basically just a normal peasant lass who spent her time dual wielding hatchets for great justice. Whereas Ulrika was...Xenatastic, and more obviously put there for Felix to pine over after getting her killed.
