Their trials also led to encountering foes such as the notoriously inept and hilarious Thanquol and his construct Boneripper. The two met allies such as Ulrika Magdova, a Kislevite noble who became a vampire, and Malakai Makaisson, a brilliant Dwarf engineer. The unlikely duo - a Dwarf slayer seeking to die a glorious death to atone for his mistakes and a down-on-his-luck poet who’s skilled with the blade - became “old friends.” Their companionship has led to numerous adventures. That’s due to the “Slayer” series of novels from William King, and eventually, those written by Nathan Long and David Guymer. Gotrek and Felix have been popular mainstays of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world since the 90s. Warhammer 2’s Old Friends – Gotrek and Felix

There’s just one caveat: You’ll need to get an issue of Games Workshop’s White Dwarf magazine… for now, at least.

Well, say goodbye to guessing because the slayer and his swordsman-poet friend will be part of Total War: Warhammer 2 as DLC this month. Players wondered what these hints were and, truth be told, a lot of the speculation often led to the announcement of Gotrek and Felix. The term “Old Friends” has been teased in the Total War community for quite some time.
