SLAYERS
Across the Old World there is no race more ancient, or more
defiant, than the Dwarfs. A proud people, they do not cope easily
with failure or personal loss. Those who are so ill-fortuned
will often forsake the fellowship of their family and friends
for a life of self-imposed exile
Having broken with everything they hold dear,
they deliberately seek death by hunting down and challenging
the largest monsters they can find. Berserk in battle, inconsolably
dour at rest, a Dwarf Slayer is a dangerous ally and a deadly
enemy.
GOTREK
Gotrek Gurnisson is possibly the most, or the least, successful
Trollslayer of the world. His quest to find death at the hands
of a worthy opponent has never been fulfilled, but in the search
he has slain monsters, Skaven, Orcs and Beastmen beyond number!
No one knows why he shaved his head and took the Slayer's Oath
and no one has ever had the courage to ask him.
|
...AND FEILX
Felix Jaeger's life changed immeasurably the day the Dwarf Slayer
dragged him from under the pounding hooves of the Emperor's knights.
After a drunken binge of epic proportions, Felix was horrified to
discover that he had sworn to record Gotrek's doom in an epic poem.
Now this pampered son of a wealthy merchant finds himself facing unimaginable
evil on the fringes of civilisation, all in the company of an insane
Dwarf sworn to face his own death!
You can read more about Gotrek & Felix in the exciting range of
novels from The Black Library, Games Workshop's own publishing division.
Trollslayer is the
first part of the death saga of Gotrek Gurnisson, as retold by
his travelling companion Felix Jaeger. Monsters, daemons, sorcerers,

to survive to tell the tale.

Gotrek and Felix are two itinerant wandererss whose travels across
the Old World and beyond have taken them into many battles. Gotrek and
Felix are a special kind of Dogs of War unit and can be included as
a Rare choice in any army of Dwarfs, Empire, Bretonnians (although they
are not normally allowed Dogs of War) or Dogs of War (see WD 251 and
252). They must be fielded exactly as detailed below, and may not be
given any additional equipment or magic items.
Gotrek and Felix form a skirmishing unit of 2 models. Even though
they must remain together both are characters and all the rules for
characters apply (challenges, targeting restrictions, victory points,
etc.). They can move freely like other skirmishers, and have a 360 degree
arc of sight.

SPECIAL RULES
GOTREK
Gotrek Gurnisson is the most accomplished Slayer in the Warhammer
world, having felled mighty creatures from the Badlands to the Realms
of the Chaos. As a Daemon Slayer he is Unbreakable and while he lives
so is Felix. In addition, Gotrek's Strength is always equal to the Toughness
of his target, unless it would normally be higher. This means he always
wounds on a minimum of 4+. His modified Strength is used for armour
save modifiers. Note that for Gotrek there is no maximum limit to how
high his Strength can be increased with this skill. As a Dwarf, Gotrek
hates all greenskins, and pursues and flees 2D6-1". Whilst Gotrek is
alive, Felix may only flee and pursue 2D6-1" as well. Note: Gotrek is
also relentless (may march within 8" of the enemy) although as a skirmisher
he may already do this.
GOTREK`S AXE
Gotrek's mighty Rune Axe is empowered with potent spells of cutting
and cleaving. For each of Gotrek's initial Attacks that hit, he gains
one extra Attack. Roll to hit with his first Attacks and then allocate
and roll to hit for any bonus Attacks he gains. In addition, any opponent
with Toughness 5 or more who suffers a wound (after saves, etc) loses
2 wounds.
WYRMSLAYER BLADE
This enchanted sword
thirsts for the blood of dragons, urging its wielder to confront these
monstrous beasts and imbuing them with unnatural ferocity and speed.
The Wyrmslayer Blade adds +2 to Felix's Attacks. In addition, if there
is a Dragon within his charge range you must delcare a charge against
the Dragon. Against Dragon's, the Wyrmslayer blade allows Felix to re-roll
missed attacks and failed rolls to wound.
GOTREK`S DOOM
The Dwarf Ancestor Gods seem to have some plan for Gotrek, driving
him towards an unknown doom. Since swearing his oath to accompany the
Slayer, Felix has also been bound into this mysterious destiny. Although
this means that they are forever wandering, unable to settle, they are
also able to survive battles that see thousands of others die. To represent
this, Gotrek and Felix have a 4+ Ward save and Magic Resistance (2)
- note this is two dispel dice for the both of them, not two each. However,
Gotrek may never join a unit, and so while he still lives Felix may
not join a unit either. If Gotrek is removed as a casualty, his Doom
has no further effect on Felix.
HOW DO YOU GET THESE COOL MODELS?
Getting your own set of Felix and Gotrek models is simple. In fact
you are only a few short clicks away from them! These great new models
