Realmslayer by David Guymer
5.0
After the fateful events of Slayer, and the death of the Old World, it looked for a while as though we’d seen the end of Gotrek and Felix. In Realmslayer, however, Gotrek steps into the Age of Sigmar, doom unfulfilled, angrier than ever, missing his axe, and wondering what’s going on. Oh, and voiced by Brian Blessed too! Across a four-part audio drama Gotrek battles his way through Aqshy and Shyish in the dubious company of fyreslayers, a Khainite aelf, a necromancer and even a manling or two, searching for his place in this new world…and also Felix.
In places it’s a little spoilerific if you’ve not read the final two Gotrek & Felix novels, but there should be enough here to enjoy whether you’re familiar with the concept and characters or not. Assuming you are, it’s a wonderful reintroduction for Gotrek – as well as an intriguing look at the Age of Sigmar – that will have you hearing Blessed’s voice any time you think of the character from now on. It’s wonderful stuff, and yet again a powerful demonstration of Black Library’s ever-growing confidence in their audio productions.
