INTRO
Hello ladies and gentlemen! It's us, it's LoreCrimes! Wooo!
He immediately would like to call out Donkeyman USA for saying Dark Souls 2 was the best.
I was gonna say call him out for this comment down here.
Like, goon to the Emerald Herald.
Fair seas, Midwest.
God, the takes are already terrible.
Just for a quick brief heads up, unfortunately Eli is not able to join us today because my man is Swole.
He's wishing luck for his bodybuilding competition.
I'm pretty sure he can smell water at the moment, he's so dehydrated.
But his body is in need of ridiculous amounts of rest, but he will be on next time.
Today though, it's very sad because he probably looks like one of the characters we actually had.
Pretty much.
God, the comments are already... I'm triggered by the Dark Souls 2.
We've got something special today though, which we have done a part one of.
So if you want to check out part one for the story, because again, you must follow this all the way through.
You're missing out, what are you doing?
So we're talking about... well, I don't want to spoil it.
Colin, what are we talking about today?
We're gonna be talking about none other than Gatric and Felix once more.
Did you ever see that? Sorry, did. Louis1945 says, I would sacrifice my first child for LoreCrime.
No, not his first, his one child.
His one child? Oh, not even the first?
Even better. The only one.
It exists. It's not an idle threat, like, I might never have a kid like that, I've got one.
Into the furnace.
Oh my god. That's one way of putting it.
Gatric and Felix.
Going through two of the stories. Demon Slayer, the next mainline one.
Dragon Slayer, the one after that. And then two short stories, kind of, in between.
That's pretty... I mean, considering from last time what happened, particularly with the highlights of Thanquil and his very existence.
Well, Hal, I have good news. He's coming back.
The first two omnibuses, especially, so like the first six or so books have a lot of Thanquil.
Love it. But before we get into that though, Andy, just a quick little dressing of, was it last week's question?
Well, a few weeks ago now, the question of the week.
Yes. So last episode, it wasn't quite last week, it was like a while ago, we did our Halo Spartans episode and we had the hashtag power trip,
which was, if you could have any suit of power armor in any universe, what would you have and how would you use it?
So the first one we've got here, I'm going to mention, is from rarest Pepe, a regular on the channel, saying hashtag, prepare yourself, hashtag power trip.
I would wear some sort of stealth armor, anything that can go invisible, so I can sneak into Colin's house when he's streaming and make him do the gritty. There you go.
The forced gritty is a new one that'd be quite interesting.
Is it like knife point or gun point?
I'm imagining like Marionette.
Like a puppet, yeah.
Donation by Donkeyman USA for the five bucks. Thank you brother. He says, who's the bigger foot freak?
Tarantino, surely.
Or Quentin Tarantino.
The real answer is Dan Schneider.
Dan Schneider likes feet.
The guy who ran Nickelodeon.
Yes.
Oh my God.
He's a cool shape like a foot.
He looks like someone stepped on his face to be fair.
He's not Dan Schneider.
Probably Quentin Tarantino, I have to say, because I feel like that dude is just...
He presents somewhat normal, but if someone said he murdered three people next week, I'm just not shocked.
We're going to be a big toe.
But for the next one of Power Trip, we've got one from nerdcasting40k who said, my armor would be the Nano Suit from Crisis. I scream as loud as I can as I use the abilities of the suit.
Maximum armor, maximum strength, maximum speed, cloak engaged, tactical mode and Nano Vision activated. I liked Crisis. I only played the first couple, but I did enjoy it.
Did you ever play Crisis 3?
I have it, but I've never played it.
I borrowed Crisis 2 on the PS3 from my mate.
And I had no context about what game I was playing, but it was alright. It was cool.
And the last one is from our meme lord himself, DJ Beast.
Say hashtag power trip. I would wear the Stealth Suit Mark 2 from Fallout New Vegas because it makes me sneaky and gives me stimpaks when I need it. And also, it's a talking lady who doesn't disappear when I take my medicine.
That was the one I was thinking of.
I mean, DJ Beast is our strongest. He's definitely a high priest in the Church of Boingob at this rate. So thank you. Thank you, brother.
Thank you.
But what's the question of the week this week, Hal?
Oh, before that, one more donation. Thank you, Angry Homuncula. He says, for the Demon Slayer section, we'd loop... I don't even know what they are. Gurenger by Lisa?
Colin Dean, please tell me.
I have a vague idea.
Oh, you're a...
...weeb is what you are. That's the Demon Slayer opening.
Oh, okay.
Just say it. Call it the Demon Slayer opening. Thank you for the £5.
Is this some anime we're not weeb enough to understand?
I haven't seen that one.
Demon Slayer is good, though.
The opening... I've never seen Demon Slayer, but the opening's fucking heat.
You've not seen Demon Slayer?
Hell, I don't see things. I don't watch things.
I'm going to see... when we're done here, I'm going to a friend to see Starship Troopers for the first time in my life.
Thank you, DJ Beats. He says, the Sword Art Online fan calls someone a weeb.
Wow.
Never beating the Sword Art allegations.
For next week's... sorry, this current week's a question of the week, just before we get into the juicy lore.
I don't say juicy. This is hashtag buddy cop.
So basically, we want you to give us a little comment about...
you know, you can basically make a pairing of anyone from Warhammer 40k, even with Warhammer Fantasy,
and just who would be the funniest thing to be partnered together?
Could be, I don't know, Erebus and the Emperor in one.
Imagine Erebus and Saint Celestine. Like, oh, that would be an awkward journey.
Yeah, just anyone you want to put together.
I think maybe Erebus and Malekith might technically be, like, the worst.
They truly tactical nuke from other side of the planet.
Erebus and Manfred.
Oh, Erebus. How'd I forget? Erebus and Manfred would...
Which one would die first, though?
I think they'd both, like, take each other out at the same time with a backstab.
A well-timed backstab that they didn't know was coming to, like, the perfect moment.
Yeah, so hashtag buddy cop. You want to put in the comments? We really appreciate that.
Some of these are hilarious. You're actually much funnier than us, because we are...
Some of us are getting old.
Hey!
Just calm down. Calm down.
Let's be honest, we are.
Some of us, and then you look dead at me, and I was like, alright, okay, young'un, still in your toilet.
Bro, I literally... I think I missed the boat on Skibby Toilet. Like, I honestly am just saying it because it's funny.
It's peak. It's peak.
I don't have a donation, by the way.
Postal John, for two CAAs, saying, Erebus, Manfred, Celestine, love triangle.
Kill... oh, God.
Marry Celestine. Kill Erebus and fuck Manfred.
Damn. I mean, I don't disagree, but like, it's just the worst case.
It is pretty awful. I don't want whatever chaos Gribli's sleeping with Erebus is going to give me.
Plus he's still got, like, the severed face, so that would be a bit awkward.
Yeah.
Manfred would just betray you. Erebus would do something horrible.
Yeah, that's why it's a one-time fling.
Well, yeah. I suppose you could always marry Manfred, but then you could just, like, poison him at the wedding day, put it in the cake.
Marry Saint Celestine. I'm sure she's a lovely lady.
Well, you can marry her maybe afterwards if she's up for it. Remember, concet fellows.
She's up for it.
That to the side. Today is Godric and Felix. Again, if people haven't watched part one, do go ahead because it's some good lore.
You'll understand why. But today is literally Colin's due. He's excited to see this. So, Colin, take it away.
Well, I will say real quick, we got a DJ Beast. Thank you for the two menacing skits.
I've been on Starship Trooper. Correct. I have. Correct.
An angry homunculus with the two pounds. Your disgust of anime only makes me stronger. I like anime. What do you think this is?
I think he was probably talking more about me and possibly Hal, to be honest.
Ah, fair enough.
I don't mind anime. I had the heart to take an anime.
I mean, there are three good animes. There's Uncensored Man, Jojo, and Bebop. And that's it.
I have opinions about some of the anime fans, but that's neither here nor there.
I do think most anime is pretty averages.
I mean, that's what is that? Is it like Sturgeon's Law? 90% of anything is dog shit.
Yeah. And people don't remember the good stuff.
Yeah. The problem is anime fans look at the latest thing. Oh, you do big boob girl. It could. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, anime fans.
Crazy idea. There's an overpowered character with white hair and it's never been done before.
God, that entire thing.
It's been done once well. It's Kakashi.
Yeah, true, true.
Original, that OG, like Naruto, when you first learn about that Kakashi has a sharingan.
Oh, insane reveal. And then, you know.
Lost my mind. Lost my mind. I was on TV. That's how long ago this was. I watched it on the Android remote.
I remember Naruto Shippuden when it was on Disney, like Disney XD.
But away from this, it's got you in Felix time. I will say, going forward, they might be a little bit shorter for each story, not because there isn't, you know, a bevy of lore, right?
But they're still all roughly equal length full page novels.
It's just at a certain point.
There's only so many ways you could describe and then Gottrick kills them.
Right.
Like, you know, I'll give the climactic finale that fight it's justice but like Gottrick kills the 500th wave of 70s get clan rats.
He does it before he's going to do it again, you're not going to believe it in Age of Sigmar. He's going to keep doing that.
There's only so many ways to describe yes the short man kills everyone. So, but it'll be still in depth as the last one just you know might gloss over some of the many, many, many murders.
But Demon Slayer.
With last time got you can Felix you know they'd saved known from fan calls, the horned rats funniest little guy.
And they were on the road to Mindenheim. Sorry we have a donation by truly the best name in any account.
What are some good corn stories for fantasy slash AOS. I mean, call him either. I want to that for corn stories, I would need to check for AOS, you're going to hate me because I'm going to say go reread gotcha can Felix the first omnibus because it has a wonderful corn story of somewhat like the demon in the ladies head is like no you were definitely all about the blood the war and murder.
But hey, you know, there's some nuance to it. No there's thoughts going in her head beyond kill main burn.
The actual some character stuff.
I mean surely one of one of you would probably something world leaders has to be good. One of them surely one of those books is surely good.
Yeah, betrayer horrors heresy, and then 40k stuff is pretty difficult just because.
Yeah, the, the basic they're at the end of the road of corruption so they're basically the berserker not the person falling to the.
I enjoy the story without as real just like a sentient demon just summons con to like mess with as well in the dark angels and he's just like, Well, I guess I'm here now and then he like butchers the chaos, and the that summoned him because he's like, I was Billy kill, I was
busy killing somewhere else, and I'm very angry. And that's where the artwork comes from.
It was a good fight. Yeah, but it's that one where as real cuts his face with a sword and he's like, looks a bit angry. That one's all right.
Uh, it's, I was gonna say, awesome.
Whatever I was gonna say is gone.
Maybe not. I'm not sure if she's actually in a book but Valke other bloody reading about her school she's corns personal Valkyrie and fantasy and a was.
She's a very cool character.
Funny trailer for total warhammer three because half of it was sort of getting the snot beat out of her.
Her school bunny cops it's safe to call Felix a hair and protagonist that fails to slow build the halem thank you for the five know he is not a hair and protagonist Felix is not married to cultural in
relationship, like, it was the relationship is, it's the person you always pick up the phone for. He's always.
They might as well. But what he is right now is a on the wait a minute time in an in.
And some God bless God bless their souls some just random dickheads pick a fight with God trick, which goes as well as you would expect for random dickheads picking a fight with God trick.
Felix, barely, I mean barely keeps him from killing them outright, you know he limits himself to just breaking their bones.
And the last guy, you know he's, he has some level of narrative intelligence he's like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna leave, I'm going to stop trying to fight this dwarf, and then he gets decked in the face by a newly a dwarf that just showed up.
And then the best character to ever exist in Warhammer snoring those biter. He's here. My Lord and Savior, finally here, prison glory does say for five bucks as who was the fancy version of con that we hope it will be snoring but it's not.
I think the body I think is probably the equivalent. I mean probably, I don't know if our decrom is undivided.
No, he's never chosen. I would have to think on that I'm not sure who that like, if there's really a one to one for current.
I think it always needs to cook a little bit longer. I think, law wise.
Yes, it needs to be there one day but it needs to cook. Yes, stuff now but it's still it's still cooking. It's only been out 10 years.
I say snoring wants more beer, you know he wants more. Oh man.
Snoring is a an interesting slayer. He, he doesn't have a crest like they all of them, you know all slayers die their hair you know their beard red, they put their hair shaved except for the top which is a mohawk snorries beard is red but he doesn't have a
mohawk he has three nails driven into his brain painted red, and they might not actually be painted red they might just be rusting, which is a.
Being charitable, not a very smart dwarf. He, he speaks in third person that you know documents that that's how he talks like snoring thinks we should do this snoring would like more beer snoring wants to use those orcs.
So he's reverse Yoda.
Yeah. Although he does, he does have some introspective moments in one of the second of the short stories we'll talk about, probably between the two main books.
He, there's a bit more going on in snorries mind than complete, you know, at absence of brain activity.
This is his introduction you gotta lay the ground works and immediately what they do is got trick and snorri get into a drinking contest.
Doesn't seem to want to talk to snorri but I feel like even notes. He just kind of brush Lee like brusk Lee talks to him and doesn't assault him, which is how God which is how you know got your considers you a friend he doesn't just
win in my book. Yeah, he just kind of deals with snorri instead of beating him I made you experience the sad and slayer.
It's. Yeah, that's my bad.
No spoilers unfortunately for no spoilers yet we're quite a ways out from that. Okay, the colon says how well would Felix doing 40k if he somehow became a perpetual. Also snorri is best boy, he was born stupid.
He's only affected. No, yeah, there's, again no spoilers we get flashbacks of snorri before he was a slayer later on, he, he still talks like that.
I had to, as the answering the Felix question. Felix pray wouldn't do that well because people who are perpetuals, they just need to be smart, not necessarily like charming or kind of brave at certain points, that's how they generally stay under the radar,
and most of them like spoiler, most of them are dead so you know like they ended up in some way just they end up knowing the Emperor and that's just not worth it.
Felix would probably hitch a ride with Caiaphas Kane.
Yeah, it'd be fellows and wanting to avoid this crap. More teaser from your
opinion would probably be jealous of the fact that Caiaphas is hanging out with someone like a little puppy he would probably nudge him ridiculously.
He'd be fine, as long as Felix doesn't try and take his position as aid, you're going to take that very seriously. He's a special smelly boy.
Only, only you're going to can properly give the commissar is T.
This is the big question here, is it Kane and Juergen or Gotrick and Felix? Gotrick and Felix, without question.
It's hard though, I think it's hard just because it's so, they're both really enjoyable. Oh no I think there's, if someone said they prefer, you know, Kane I'm not offended, Kane's great.
I just, you know, I like my dwarf and his whipping bitch. I mean, could you imagine the shenanigans if you swapped Felix and Juergen so it was Juergen and Gotrick and Kane and Felix, that would be weird, like a weird multiverse thing.
T Gotrick. Who's this smelly man with a beard said Gotrick. I'm not smelly, I've got a flame or nothing.
He'd probably be happy enough if only because melta weapons are strong and Gotrick likes killing.
Crimson Glory says, avoiding combat disgusting.
My man is truly, truly the the blood god strongest ally.
Indeed, but along with the good old snoring, who just for future reference, another thing him and Gotrick like to get into is headbutting contests.
He's a real, real sharp knife, that guy.
There's a there's a second dwarf, who is young by dwarf standards and that I think he was only like 80 or something.
He shows up.
Or maybe like 40. He's not young but by dwarf standard he is name Varick Varickson.
They were summoned both of them to go meet Gotrick.
But since Gotrick story just start pounding back, ale immediately Varick talks to Felix but it's like he's a we got a my uncle, whose name is Borek Forkbeard.
That's his name. Don't leave a beard.
Beefsman from Sweden, give us 20 sec says Snorri wants a bucket of vodka.
Thank you brothers.
We will drink to snorri tonight.
But Borek tells Felix and Gotrick when they're finally done that, you know, his uncle Borek.
They, he wants them to, he's summoning them to their isolated little base, notice the lonely tower, because Borek is trying to get an expedition into the chaos wastes going, which,
for reference, that holds the same weight as an expedition into the eye of terror.
So, Felix isn't the biggest fan of this but he's bound by oath to follow Gotrick and Varick and snorri managed to convince Gotrick to at least hear him out.
So Gotrick agrees and Felix is forced with them.
And, you know, on the way, they, they talk about what the lonely tower is, you know, it's an old mine they turned into a little camp, although little camp is certainly one way to put it we'll talk about that in a bit.
They mentioned how oh this this surely isn't something coming back up with a narrative that you had to drive some skaven out of out of the place.
You know, there was a it was an old mine that had skaven that they had to drive them out that's fairly coincidence.
The fact that the when they make camp at night they're attacked by scaven scouts that got against or have to fight off. Surely also a coincidence none of these things could be related.
They get to the lonely tower, and what the dwarfs call a nice isolated little camp, Felix discovers is a massive hub of industry. And this is one of those moments I find it really cool because it shows you, like, God damn, those, those dwarfs have some stuff like
it's they've got trains they've got airships they've got all sorts of stuff like stuff it's like the empire is pretty firmly like 15th 16th century technology, like they got some guns in places like no no door if they're like, it's maybe early like 19th like very beginning
of the 1800s Industrial Revolution dwarfs are like early 1900s like they've got. They can fly, they've got oil they've got trains and tracks and they've got movies.
I don't think they don't think they quite have movies yet but if they are great if they did though, if they put their minds towards it they could absolutely make like film real what they're every movie is just like, I went to this place of the surface
is the border beer. It was really good. The end, and it's just all beer, just drinking beer, it's just living their steampunk life.
It's, you know, from the infinite divine that the 10 year long Necron play.
It's like that but it's just 10 years of straight complaining about how old things are better than new things.
Was it when it was it like a decades long core hearing wasn't it. Oh yeah, they said like, like the, the Necron overseeing was like thank you all for coming together on such short notice it took like 10 years to get it together.
So it implies that some just stand there for like three years or something being like, and then they're just waiting.
And the robots, they don't gotta, they don't gotta do anything they got nowhere to be. Yeah.
I mean hey they can go into like screensaver mode.
But, yeah, the lovely tower is a massive industrial hub and even Felix is saying like this is a never really appreciate dwarf technology and how far they are ahead of humanity until I see shit like this.
Yeah, that's happening there, you know, coming they're going to meet, or like all that stuff below the lonely tower.
Good old thank wall is back.
He, after you know he failed to conquer no, he took what was left of his forces and he went to investigate this because he to hurt, oh, there was a.
There was some skaven, you know there was some dwarfs that drove us out of these mines I wonder what's going on here in kind of backup by the way speaking of Boeing gop, anyone was thinking about it.
Because I can't wait for God trick to meet Boeing gop in ALS will definitely will definitely happen for sure. In fact, I think he will be joining the party for sure.
Oh yeah.
We just is the it's a team up we deserve is a buddy cop we yeah that's no more got trick and Felix got trick and Boeing gop. It's actually going to get first born God is actually going to be his mount.
He's gonna go fight techless on it.
I mean, it makes or even arcade on the ever chosen.
And then he's just they're like, come on then.
Because boycott is yells the entire time.
But, uh, when a thankful found out you know about the lonely time it was like oh, that's a lot of good dwarf technology if I can take this, this will be his next plan to rise to unlimited power and fame and everything and scavenging them because he.
He's a very one track mind that rat.
Good guy.
And sure enough, not long after got you can Felix get there.
And then they, pardon me, scaven invade. There's this really just kind of a sad passage like it's just, it's like three pages it's like a mini chapter where there's this dwarf who notices all like the gutter runners going in like all that scaven forces.
And he sits there for a moment he's like, if I sound the alarm. I'm going to die, like they're going to send like poison when, like they're going to poison him inside his little scout bunker.
And he just blows it and then like the passage and like he blows the alarm, and the passage and it's just the poison starts creeping in and it's like well that's incredibly brutal.
Yeah. As for, you know, gotcha can Felix though they get into, they start fighting off the scaven, it's a, there's a decent amount of guards but this is mostly supposed to be a relatively hush hush engineering outpost.
Thank Wolf, as a, we're up to Bone Ripper 2 now, sends it to kill Felix, which Veric is driving a cart and Felix is hanging in the back of it.
And it's, it's a car chase, except the car is Veric and Felix in a cart, and the other car is a rat ogre chasing after them. And they're just tearing through the settlement until Felix just in a panic just acts basically hawks a bomb at them,
and the Bone Ripper is roaring so it swallows it.
And then the bomb goes off and you better believe that you don't want to eat the bomb. Bone Ripper 2 had I think even less screen time than Bone Ripper 1 did.
How is it at this point, are you sure you don't recognize like this one looks a little different than the other.
Maybe they kill so many Bone Rippers they actually don't realize it comes from the same like enemy.
It's also part of it is just skaven or so there, there is no like standard method of production for a skaven making a rat ogre is equal parts art and science.
But poor Bone Ripper.
You know the dwarfs take a beating but they they fight them off and Felix is saved from a bunch of gutter runners by the next mainstay of gotcha and Felix who also makes an appearance in this book Malachi McKyson, who was a total warhammer.
He's one of his lines.
One of his lines is funny and total warhamers goes by Groogne, it's me, or is like, this is clearly like we put him in because you people wouldn't stop asking for it.
I don't know I'm here but I'm having a laugh.
But I don't. Maybe anyone who would have read, who's also read these books feel free to agree.
But Malachi and snorri share a similar role, which is when they're in the stories.
When things aren't as bad as they could be.
It's like their presence is like you know things, things could be worse.
They're very you know, especially for dwarfs very cheerful upbeat people snorri's that was probably the happiest person you've ever seen in a warhammer book period.
I don't think I've any book I've read anyone has ever just been as lucky as this guy.
Honestly, I would say more than an ogre.
Fair enough.
He's just having his dial he's just happy to be around. And that guy like that one ogre new counter to three ones is just on cloud nine.
Oh, he Chapman for 10 bucks he says, we remember, we did warhammer isekai TTRPG game for both 40k and fantasy discovered horrible ways to die in both one.
And in brackets, in brackets, we need we say more, and a demon Prince acts good times, you want to die to either of those probably times more so he smells.
Yeah.
But, uh, yeah, so they, they meet, you know, they've met Malachi. He's, he's also a slayer, although his oath is a not technically different but he's going it out, out about a different way.
And that's what came from the fact he
he's a radical dwarf engineer and by radical I mean something will only have been in the blueprint stages for 20 years instead of 2000.
Before he makes a prototype of it. Crazy.
Wow.
This is this is what this is what liberals want for
these doors and avocado toast.
And weapons kind of blew up, and that was a problem and then he made a, he made an iron clad. I know. Yeah. And then he made an iron clad named the unsinkable. You're not going to believe what happened to it.
I think every Titanic moment coming up. Yeah. And then it sank.
So, he was made to take the Slayer oath, except all that did was make him even more reckless was an engineering because he's like well, I'm sure one of these projects I'm working on is going to kill me, I'm just going to keep working on them and now I've got a Mohawk.
So he's a interesting slayer.
He also talks with the Scottish accent.
A copy says Malachi is very speaking presence in the audio books makes things a good time, my god's that my god that accent and dialect. See, the thing is, can understand but no problems in the game or an audio book, reading, reading his accent.
I good luck.
Yeah, because I man well beyond me, sometimes there were a couple times I just I just kept going like I don't know what he said. I'm out.
I don't know what's happening.
More beast man from Sweden says in quotes. He is a genius of killing to Yeah, yeah God trick has that to say about.
And Tom more and thank you brother kiss you guys says I'm pretty sure it blew up before it's like.
Really think.
It's saying it might have also exploded. It wasn't called the unexploded.
It's fine.
Everyone has some dealing pains, right.
Nothing's perfect.
But yeah they they properly meet with a, you know, gotcha Felix and snorri they properly meet with a boric varic and Malachi to really discuss what's actually happening.
And the plan is this time to drive it off the skaven is there. They're going to take the Malachi newest invention, the, the spirit of Grumman airship, which you wanted to name the unstoppable at first and everyone told him, you're not doing that.
You're not naming it that.
But yeah, you know, they, they're taking that and they're going to go to the chaos wastes to find the lost city of Kerrig doom and dwarf that is it's dum it's pronounced doom and it means doom.
Not my first name use of Kazak doom from Lord of the Rings, it's completely different.
Completely different name.
Not, not even that different of a name.
Not where I would choose to live, but it is what it is.
And they're looking for two things they're looking for the hammer of fate, and the rune masters acts.
One of those is a bit more important. The hammer, I'll just spoil it we'll get to that later though.
And then we have a new donation by gamut draws 10 bucks says, great luck that I came into the stream when you're talking about thank wall, whilst I was building the new skaven hell yeah love the channel also still waiting on the Vlad video, Vlad video, Colleen.
I'll get to it. He's in the eventually pile.
I've been begging for vampire cats for ages so we'll we'll get there, we'll get to them.
Yeah, that's a, this is the plan, Godric, not a big fan of this. At first, because you get a little bit of insight into his backstory he.
This isn't Godric first time on an expedition to the chaos wastes.
But they do eventually convince him.
And, yeah, they, they agree to go and Felix again, forced to go bound by oath.
There is a cool moment with Felix though that kind of like I was saying a bit with snorri shows like hey you know Godric does a little bit care about Felix, because when they go there.
Borek is like, that's a human, that's a manling, what's he doing here. Godric is like he's a dwarf friend. He's, he's, he's allowed to be here. And that's, they kind of accept this because the fact that if one dwarf says you're a good one, they kind of all go yeah he's probably knows what he's talking about even a slayer, we can probably take him for his word.
I'm probably coming from Godric that means a lot.
He's like you know you're, that's your, you're fine, you're fine.
We Felix is allowed to be here for this.
Before they can quite go though, they need to get some artifacts and spells to keep themselves safe from chaos because it's it's like going into the eye of terror and like I said, not safe, you need protection.
They, they all get aboard the spirit of Grumni, Felix keeps hitting his head on the ceiling, because it's an airship designed for dwarfs.
But you know aside from that they get used to it they get a, you know, motion sickness stuff like that they do get used to it.
Unfortunately, they have a stowaway named Lurk Snitchtongue.
What a fun name.
Thancwool had them stowaway aboard the ship, and he made like a little sorceress mind like they have, which keeps causing problems for Lurk because Thancwool bothers him at every possible moment and, you know, Lurk needs to talk, like he can't think through his brain he needs to talk
on an airship full of dwarfs who would kill him on site.
So, throughout, throughout the book every now and then just you know keep in mind Lurk is rapidly wandering back and forth between spying on them for Thancwool so they know what's going on, stuff like that, because Thancwool is following them through Lurk.
Their first stop though, on their airship trip is Middenheim, which is convenient you know, Gashigan Felix would go on there anyway, although not for any grand reason really it was just a place to go.
They take on supplies and our last two major recurring characters as well, who are going to stick with us for the rest of the series to some extent.
Ulrika Magdova, a Kislovite noblewoman, you know she's there as an emissary for Kislov and the Empire, and Maximilian Schreiber, a wizard who's dedicated his life to fighting chaos.
And he's, he's the guy who's putting those wards and charms and around the ship to keep it from dying, the moment it enters the chaos wastes.
Felix and Max and Ulrika are in a fun love triangle for a couple books, so that's another thing that I'll breeze over a bit, but that's just some nice background tension they get into pissing matches over every now and then they keep arguing about it.
It's, it just keeps happening. Felix wins out in the end, spoiler alert.
But, maybe not, maybe not truly but well okay that but that's for later. That's, that's, is there any real winners when there's an end times, so Felix wins out in the end, ignoring the end times and also ignoring that thing that happens to Ulrika, which she's a vampire in
Total War, you probably can guess what happens to her. I mean I've just Google search them like those eyes don't look very healthy. I used to what I talked about feel like in my video or in general I would keep that one on the down low and then Total War was like hey by the way vampire lady, Ulrika, Kislov, well I can't kind of hide that one anymore.
That's out there. Thanks. Yeah. But you know in spite of this, you know they do a him and Max get along well enough. He befriends Snorri and Malachi and McKesson actually shows he's also kind of a bit weird for a dwarf as slayers tend to be, because most dwarfs, if a human asked, hey how does this work, they would tell them to piss off and stop asking questions.
Malachi, he's just like hey you want to see how to fly the airship and they just they just be teaches Felix how to pilot the spirit of Groot Meek. I feel like he's just like that.
You know like when a kid will like make like they'll draw like a picture and be like, hey look, I made, I made a thing. So just to feel appreciated like I did this. Oh, that's nice.
The other dwarfs like on the bridge at first like what why is he here, but Malachi just doesn't care. He's like, yeah I'll teach you how to fly the airship. Why not? You got nothing better to do or just kind of flying.
So their next stop after that is Kislev, the mansion of, get the name, Ivan Petrovich Stragov, Ulrika's dad. He's one of the, he's one of those Kislevites, they live in the northern borders of the country whose whole job is keep, keep chaos from just kind of wandering into the major cities and ruining things.
So he's like a nobleman, you know, border, border patrol kind of guy, keep the, keep chaos demons and marauders out of our land, please and thank you.
And he very conveniently had a nice big tower near his mansion that the spirit of Groot Meek could dock at.
They stayed a few days, Snorri gets his much needed kegs of vodka, you know, because he's still in his middle eastern Europe, all jammed together, a whole lot of vodka to be had.
Dwarves probably very like Kislev then.
They were, they enjoyed it, you know, not as much as a proper dwarven ale but you know they appreciate the kick, if nothing else.
It's a good attempt.
And then Tom Warren for two bucks says, my Strugun, well Mr. Strugunoff is my favorite character.
I have him as notes because I feel pressed to but it's not what I feel. Felix and all workers sleep together, thank you Felix for sleeping with every, every woman in sight.
You are a woman and yeah, breathe, and quite frankly with Ulrica later on.
He's just like, oh yeah, let's go.
Sometimes the breathing is optional once Ulrica becomes a vampire.
Okay, for a second that had me in the first.
No, it's not as, not quite like that.
Is it technically, what's the one we like to sleep with dead people, is it technically that?
Yeah, is it technically that?
I would say no, but I'm also, I can't say I've ever slept with a vampire so I'm not an expert.
Yeah, I feel like if they're undead it's, it's like a, it's like a loophole I would assume.
Yeah, they're still sentient, they have a personality.
I didn't think that up, it's fine.
Yeah, but with that, they,
oh my lord, pardon me, complete mental reset.
Max and Ulrica, you know, Max is, Ulrica was just in Middenheim on like a diplomatic trip, she goes back to the mansion with her father, and Max stays behind as well because he is, for now his purpose was just to get the wards on the Spirit of Grumni so it could withstand the just lingering chaos corruption.
And, and with that they take off.
And this is, they're kind of, they're passing over just the chaos wastes and there's like a passage where Felix is just looking out and he's like, that's a lot of, that's a lot of chaos marauders.
Oh, that's a, that's a lot of chaos, oh they're still going, oh this is one big horde of like 10,000 chaos marauders. That's horrifying.
Like, seeing the full extent of what chaos is up north away from the Empire proper. And at one point, they get into a warp storm which forces the crew to halt, so they can repair the ship.
And, meanwhile, good old lurk, who's, who's lurking.
Keys in the name.
That's a very lovely. Thank you Andy for the audience is only Andy has drawn a very nice picture of God trick with his little, it is, it is lovely.
Yeah, they lurk, who gets stuck on the outside of the airship.
And he starts mutating, and he basically turns into a rat ogre that wasn't a science experiment just mutation. And at one point he will meet up with thank wall and it's there's some funny moments for now lurk is having to hide, and it's going to be a lot harder.
Because of what happens. The ship has to anchor over this ruined city and got Felix and snorri go to, you know, go to check the city out a bit, just to make sure you know there's no nearby issues.
And then the airship is blown away in the in the storm.
So they're stranded now, not great.
As they know delve deeper into the city to either look for a way out or just make sure they're still safe there's no problems that will come for them while they're there.
They find this just insane hermit who teleports them deeper into the city, and they have to fight their way out past a whole bunch of demonets and Harpies.
It's kind of fun. Felix for a little bit, because the thing about demonets which isn't, you wouldn't guess looking at the models but when a person just looks at them.
They're like hypnotized by their beauty, and like just sell the sounds the smell they're putting off.
And then, fair amounts of course then gotcha can snorri put acts to face and then Felix kind of snaps out of it real quick like.
They fight their way outside, which then they're greeted by a massive army of beastmen, which, thankfully, at this moment the spirit of Grumni returns just starts firing into the all the basement are like, get on, get on the fucking ship, you know they drop the ladder
you know they do the mission impossible grab the ladder wrong climb up.
Very harrowing in the moment, maybe not that harrowing because it's only it's like only two thirds of the way through the book. So it sounds that maybe Joey Diaz demonets.
Say that.
Joe Rogan.
I was going through the planes of demon these cocksuckers are coming up to me and I'm like get out of here. I'm a demonet.
He's with the eight ball.
Good God.
But with a with with the airship prepared, ready to go back at it.
It finally arrives at Carrick doom, of course, you know they're floating above it.
And they look down and they see four massive like stretching to the horizon chaos armies, one to each God, just fighting each other non stop in front of the main entrance to Carrick doom.
And it's like, he looks exactly like I think he asked like what.
Why aren't they storming it why are they just out there fighting and like the other doors are like well the dark gods want their prize but they want it to be their prize alone, pretty much like, you know, they don't want to share.
And it's just a way to. It's that and it's equal parts to earn glory, like because you know, chaos in fights of right. This is a, especially for a beginner to warhammer a very good insight into chaos where it's like, sure there's a door fold right there, but fighting the other three
gods is a perfectly valid way to attain demon Prince would is anything else.
If any one God looks like that, just eking out in front of the other ones, the other three immediately like get on them. So they know is why like there's never like one like oh it's one's stronger than the others because the other one for you automatically just dog on him.
Yeah, pretty much, or, or her him or it.
Yeah.
They don't want to share. And again they cast fights itself more than anything else. The great game. Yeah, the great game.
But with that they, they managed to find a safe ish place to land, it's a secret entrance, where they sneak into the into the city proper carry doom, and it's abandoned.
And they keep fighting their way, like, it's like it's constant constant fights against like Beastman war bands that are just ambushing them slowly making way through like dwarves are like slowly but surely getting picked off.
At one point.
Oh, pardon me I skipped ahead a little bit.
They, they, but at one point they find some survivors of a character of what they kind of find them but the same difference, who they, they say they've been fighting a guerrilla work and to serve like chaos in their city, like all this time they've been just fighting
chaos like just room by room ambush stuff like that, not doing very well, but they're surviving which is sometimes enough. They meet a guy in charge of the party herigrim name it or Hargrim name not super important just so you have the name.
They decided not to kill you know these dwarfs and this human that showed up they decide you're you're not a chaos trick, you can be trusted.
At what point, hounds of corn, start following them back.
You know, problem, God trick murders a whole bunch of them at once. So, all the dwarfs kind of start looking at with with some reverence, because, like their chaos hounds of corn.
They don't go down easy and then God trick God tricks all over the place and slaughters them like they're nothing.
So they're like, are you.
You're important.
I don't have all the information yet but you seem very important.
Just something about you something about that killing nature, surely. Yeah, they learn. They go to a pardon me.
I just can't get out my head. It's the corn was it corn hounds, like corn hands but let's just put them in a blender. Remember that era of YouTube.
Like, like batteries, will it blend. Yeah.
Brian, bless his voice going.
He's blending the corn dogs.
Ah, God.
But Harggrim takes them to the king of Carrick doom is still alive named thing Grim fire beard.
And we were talking about you know, another constant chaos has the two settings is time warping 200 years had passed in the outside world since Carrick doom fell for these guys inside.
It's been six months.
And that shocks, you know, God trick Felix that crew.
The dwarfs inside are infinitely more shock is like what, what do you mean, what do you mean, it's been 200 years, it's been six months. I have a calendar right here, which I've been drinking one cask of ale a day.
That's 200 casks. That's this many days. Yeah, it's like there's no way it's been 200 years.
And some stuff kind of starts happening one after the other about God trick in particular.
They learned from Mr fire beard that God tricks x is that rune master x taken from the city, just before it fell and discovered by God trick in a cave after he got separated on that first expedition he went on.
So, and it's not the last important thing to come about God tricks x, but for this story.
It also has a prophecy, stating that when it returns to Carrick doom.
The creature. There's a creature that's just rake wreaking havoc on the people in the city will die.
The creature in question, we soon find out is a bloodthirster.
The book is named Demon Slayer for a reason.
A bloodthirster has been taking them off at its leisure, basically just for fun.
And the bloodthirster had his own prophecy which might sound weird for corn except it's not really much of a prophecy it's more of just a threat.
He's like, I'm going to eat your heart to the king fire beard solid plan and also not being funny for a coordinate worshiper, like, that's a pretty reliable prophecies it's like you.
Oh, yeah, easy, no problem.
This is literally the plot of good fellows is like I like this kid they like this kid he did he likes the police.
You see that you ever guys ever watch like death battle.
Yeah, do you see do you see the home with Homelander versus Omni man one.
I haven't. I mean, I've just been watching.
Fair enough. I just think because there was a line where in like that or Omni man's like I'm going to make you eat your own heart.
Sure enough.
But for this.
King fire beard some scouts a purse that report that a the bloodthirsters coming is that that prophecy is about to come true one way or another.
And with an army of beastmen just just for good measure.
The you know everyone gets ready for the fight.
Sure enough, the beastmen and the bloodthirster enter the throne room.
While you know most of the cast is dealing with all the beastmen.
Good old fire beard. He's got the king thing room. He's got the hammer of fate.
He's a he's going after the bloodthirster.
He's not quite enough because of blood thirsters a bloodthirster and they're very good at violence.
And sure enough, he rips out his heart and eats it as he's dying in front of him.
Yeah, like a big Jenny baby. Yeah, what you get it. Not much of a prophecy. Just just a threat.
But bright side.
We're not we're not quite at the bright side. We have a couple more people get the hell kicked out of them before we get to the bright side.
With I've done one more drawing of Malachi. Would you like to see him?
I would I would very much like to see him.
That is wonderful.
That is quite little.
There we go.
Donkeyman USA Felix. It's also a hammer.
It's you say that almost the bloodthirster snorri takes a hit with an axe.
He's not killed, but he's pretty badly wounded and he's out of the fight.
And then Godrick steps up to the bloodthirster and the bloodthirster is winning.
Godrick's doing good. He's got trick, but he's the bloodthirsters winning and he's about to strike, you know, got to down and cut this book series about 15 books short.
And this is I just I like this moment a lot where Felix like he's trying to lift the hammer.
It's like Mjolnir, but it's like, you know, only a dwarf can wield it and only a worthy dwarf.
And he's like he picks it up and he's just trying to pick it up and he's just praying to literally every god.
He's like Sigmar, Grimnir, Grimnir, I don't give a shit. Someone help me.
Corn somewhat. I don't care. Any of them.
But hey, that fervent batch of prayer was enough because he's able to wield it and just throws it at the bloodthirster and just beams it in the chest,
which was gave gave Godrick just enough of an opening to get in and kill with his axe.
Bloodthirsters banished. Not before telling Godrick he'll see him again later, which spoiler alert for a very long time down the line.
Yes.
I just like the way he did a Scooby Doo went like, and I would have gotten away with it too. It wasn't for your pesky Felix.
Pretty much that more or less what happens. But with the Beastman run because the bloodthirsters dead there, they're out.
And Felix, Varric, Snorri and Godrick and whoever's left of Carrick Doom led by that Hagrim fella.
I'm not super important. He's just the last leader these guys have.
They board back the spirit of Grimni and leave the wastes. It's a pretty bad losses, but they got the hammer back.
They rescued a whole bunch of dwarfs from the chaos wastes. And it's it's just a cool little passage. Felix prayer to throw the hammers. My favorite. It's so cool.
Thank you for the fire.
It's it's it's another cool moment after the fact is like the dwarfs are looking at him with like reference almost because they're like most most dwarfs can't do that and this random human just picked it up and toss it a bloodthirster.
Who do you think answered the prayer? Does it say it never like it never says like which God or even if hey maybe Felix was just him.
It's it's not a case of there's like a is it Kegarach? Is there a similar like just tricks to God? Is when does we funny?
Zinch, we zinch.
There there is a rough equivalent he has amongst the elves Loic but not really donation by Haru the rogue he says I want to mention that in Skaven Slayer the plague priests used a recon reconscrate real reconsecrated Nurgle cauldron to make the plague making them the only faction to sanctify a chaos artifact for the Great Horned Rat.
They did they technically cleanse it of chaos corruption only to make it Skaven corrupt for all the fucking difference that makes to the average person.
Some I mean, some of the some it's clan pestilence though I'm not touching that.
But he did with you know is it a human diarrhea is now animal diarrhea so I don't know how much better it is. We'll go through the short stories real quick, because one of them is like the last thing in the first omnibus and the second one is a little snorey story.
The first one is just gothic Felix and snorey they're part of an Empire army led by Carl Franz himself against a whole ton of orcs. It's not super long. It's mostly just a fighting story.
I don't know. But the highlight of that is like, this will take like a minute. But a highlight of that is Felix at like the height of the battle does this insane like backflip acrobatics trip trick and just be like, slaughters the orc war boss.
And then Carl Franz like comes down in his Pegasus and Felix panic on the inside like I started this whole thing by gothic murdering a bunch of his personal bodyguard I'm gonna I'm about to be executed aren't I, and Carl Francis goes, that was the bravest thing I've seen in my life.
And Felix he goes oh, it wasn't anything big and then and then passes out.
The adrenaline wore off.
But the book does a very mean thing, because the next time we see it Felix wakes up and gothic is burying snorey, who had died when he killed five trolls and the fifth one landed on them.
But, uh, for, for, for what it's worth.
This was early in gothic and Felix before they were going to make as many more books that they did story comes back stories fine.
This is a safe I there's no way they know story story is a this is they even reference this bit and like a later book with like some timeline crap, that's for later.
And they have like a oddly poignant talk about, you know, like, like gothic is still grumbly Felix like we push back the orcs we won the day and it's like we want the gothic she says we won the day today.
We still got to do tomorrow, and then the next day and then the next orc or the next cast invasion. And for a dwarf who never admits their empires everything anything but everlasting is like your empire is going to fall, the dwarfs are going to fall,
it's just a matter of time manling, which is a very oddly defeatist note.
And then there's other short snoring it's again, it's a lot of combat, but it's a. The first time we get a glimpse into snorries mind, and what it is, is depressing.
Because one of the opening one of the first lines you read is snorri likes to drink because it lets snorri forget.
Oh, no, I didn't know I was going to read that when I first read that book, and then I was sad.
It's just kind of like in. I need a wee. Should we halt for a second.
No, no, we can go again. It's, it's a nice look into snorri's mindset because he's a bit more introspective than you think, like there's a, like he's, it's with a group of humans and another slayer, not just another random slayer.
And he's think like this slayers like no we gotta go fight now I want to go fight now there's enemies here I need to meet my doom and snorri is just kind of thinking to himself like snorri seen this kind of slayer before snorri thinks they shouldn't seek their
death because it'll come when it's ready.
Like he for a slayer he's very chilled out, for lack of a better word.
It's like the he's already dead in a weird way.
So he's already like, they already this layer of you die. The moment you take the oath isn't it. Yeah, like there's even like, basically a funeral for doors I think once they take the slayer oath like stories like oh I know, I know my death is going to come.
I'm in no rush to greet it, it'll greet me when it's ready.
And it just that's kind of the theme of the book that and being depressed because they'll say something like that.
He has a line where, like one of the, one of the other characters just makes fun of her being idiot and snorri just grabs his wrist and puts him in a fucking like death grip, because snorri is bigger than gotrick.
Oh my god. Yeah, he's a, he's not quite as strong but that's because gotrick has a magical axe feeding him snorri is just built like a truck.
He says, he just says, only snorri's friends can make fun of snorri and you aren't snorri's friend.
Oh no he's too precious man. He's a, I love him. And that's, it's not super long story, it is very good but again there's, it's a short story and a lot of it is combat.
So, and there's only so many ways I can go. And then snorri killed the goblins.
They were fighting goblins.
Is this still William King era. Yeah, this is still William King era. I know the first two omnibuses like we're William King, I can't remember which the first one was where Nathan Long took over.
I'm sorry it's sad that he retired from writing. Yeah, well that guy made some kick ass books.
He, he, that man knew how to write, I got to read the, I think, Tyrann and Tacliss books, and he wrote those if I remember correctly.
He didn't even write any end times I think as well so. No, he got out is what he did. He got out before it went downhill. Yeah.
And then the next main book, the last one we'll talk about today is Dragon Slayer.
As you've probably noticed by now, the theming of these books is whatever Godric is killing today, although I'll give you all a slight spoiler, Godric doesn't kill this one.
I'm just gonna say that's like a jump. Like, I'm assuming, like most fantasy settings dragons are like, arguably the hardest thing to kill, or quite up there.
It's weird, because, like Demon Slayer is a higher rank of Slayer than Dragon Slayer, because like the point is you start as a troll slayer like you're a slayer.
If you can't kill a troll, you're a troll slayer now. Go fight a giant. That doesn't do you in, you go find a dragon, Dragon Slayer. Demon Slayer is like the last step.
It's just the thing that always gets me is like, a dragon is definitely stronger than just like a blood letter.
Well, I was gonna say they must be rarer, surely, because demons are invading all the bloody time.
It's part of it too, although it's also it's like Warhammer writing, it's like you know when like the lore says like right battleships in 40k right no one has a battleship. Andy looks like he's a good guy.
It was warm I had to take the hood off so now I thought I'll put on my, my cap.
That's a nice cap. My favorite part Warhammer fancy lore is like before the end times, most of the time there aren't as many dragons because the dragons are all sleeping. The high elves can't get them to wake up.
It's only Kalidor dragon tamer, most arrogant bastard alive can do it without killing himself.
And we can mongola says didn't within King writes some space force but yeah he wrote the actual good space force but it was the ragnaut black main, but which we fair makes them kind of quite legit.
It doesn't explain the way.
Was it wolf blade in the original space wolf, or would it like the old ones are quite. They have like the retro art style on the cover, because they've only just recently been on audible and I'm like,
it might be, I just know like if anyone is a fan of fancy stuff, like I said it quite a few times, the first space for the book he wrote is essentially a fancy book, until the very like last section essentially is literally a fancy book, there's no, there's no guns
or anything until the very end of it, and then it kind of ramps up. So if you do enjoy fancy you're going to get a nice transition in that.
I just read through my notes on what's coming in this book. Oh, this is the funniest fucking moment in a whole lot of books.
I'm going to go back to the Dragon Slayer. It starts a couple of days after Demon Slayer like they're on their way back to Ivan Strugov's mansion, and they pass over a massive army of chaos marauders that thing from last book is kind of coming back,
marching directly towards the Empire and Kislev.
We, we got to tell someone about this because that's a lot of chaos marauders. We don't have enough bombs on this airship to deal with that, which is, they do that quite frequently the spirit of grummi is armed to the teeth with cannons and whatnot.
Not enough for that many chaos marauders.
So they're on their way south, they reach Ivan Strugov's manor.
And finally it has been captured by clan Mulder Skaven, led by our buddy, our pal Thanquil.
He's back.
In exchange, he negotiated some support with Mulder, because he's planning. He's capturing the spirit of grummi. Lurk is still on there after all this time. He's getting that, he's getting that thing he's taking revenge on the dwarf.
He's going to have to fight aggressively for an entire expedition. Yeah, he has. In fact, I don't, I don't, I don't actually, I don't think he actually gets back in the airship I think he was just been holding on top of it this whole time.
Which he's ripped as hell now he's, he's basically a Skaven jumped up to a rat ogre with intelligence he's a Skaven, he's not that smart, but you know, he's not a dumb rat ogre.
And Thanquil, he's ready to capture them.
And he's a, you know, he's got Ivan Ulrica and Max Schreiber imprisoned after you know there was a battle of course they didn't they went down fighting, they didn't kill him he captured them because you know clan Mulder loves their slaves.
Unfortunately,
Thanquil's ambush on the spirit of grummi doesn't go off.
Because he's interrogating Ulrica.
And while she's doing that, she kicks him in the balls.
And his cry of pain is mistaken as the attack signal.
So the Skaven rushed the spirit of grummi.
Well before it's docked.
So, wars, but like no one's disembarked yet, except for like Gottrick, Felix and Snorri, who are all expert warriors.
So, they start fighting like the spirit grummi just starts blasting into the crowd of rats.
So, Felix and Snorri are holding off the ones on the like, because they're still atop the mooring tower for the airship, they're holding off the rats climbing up Ulrica breaks free rescues her father all the other prisoners Max.
Thank you.
Don't recommend USA for the two bucks says look, got the scar treatment done to her.
It's a, it's
something even funny, well that maybe not funnier but funnier in context is coming up.
It's but a thankful rails, a whole lot of warpstone and cast a spell to just hold down the spirit of grummi. And for what it's worth like this is one of those few moments like part of the reason that goes around is because when he's in the swing of things, frighteningly
powerful wizard. So he does a stock in a, like in the game where he just grabs a star destroy just like,
exactly that and he gets like a magical arm wrestling match with Max over to control it.
And just for some level of reference, Max is one of like five human wizards who can match up to like the elves the salon to some extent.
And he's like, I, this. I don't know what rat this is but oh my god, yeah, and Felix even he doesn't. It's not it's not like breaking because he doesn't know it's thankful is like is this is the same goddamn wizard from all this asshole still bothering us.
Like he doesn't know it's thankful he's like but this is, this is the third time I'm dealing with a scaven wizard. Is this the same one, which it is, but he just he doesn't know he doesn't know it's thankful he just like the idea that it's like oh he's
like supremely powerful beings like oh it's this annoying guy, like the disparity of like power level to always been annoying isn't he. Oh, she leave me alone.
Yeah, it's a luckily for you know, both Max everyone else.
Thankful is slightly distracted one. I lurk just jumps off the airship, which it's not flying but it's more than the sky, so he just leaps off and then go has to grab them.
And then some gyro copters start just bombing the scaven ranks so he's got to focus on taking those down. So between that, Max, and all things going on.
They're able to break thankless enchantment and the airship is freed and can take off a little bit. The freed prisoners at this point I'll break out and rush the scaven from the rear.
You're not going to believe it bone ripper three makes an appearance, Godric and snorri killed.
And then he's like, Oh, this is a good idea.
Taken from us too soon.
And thankful runs away to go order another bone ripper.
Why was honestly don't know why this guy was chosen by the great.
Funny, amusing rat.
The porn rats silliest clown.
I mean, what's that thing about rats in cages I'm sure when you're like a god and you're still looking down it's still just a massive cage like yeah this is funny.
How did the bone ripper get it was it like, to the face. It was Godric and story double teed it. It had it had no chance.
And, oh, man.
Yeah, they some measure of peace is restored you know Felix and Ulrica reunite and blah blah the love triangles back great.
I don't hate it all that much it's not it's not that obnoxious like it's, they put it aside when there's no like hunger games moment where it's the middle of a battle like oh he looks and Max and snorri and fargan.
So Max likes all record as well then. Yes, and Ulrica does.
First Felix but stuff will develop with that a little bit over this book and the next one.
But, you know, with some peace, somewhat achieved again.
Their survivors from, you know, the expedition they're hailing you know they they make plans both to depart and face of the massive army, as well as to return the hammer of the, you know, the character back to the dwarfs and the rest of the realm.
And, Ivan, you know he sends all work as daughter and two of their bodyguards to warn the ice queen of keys live about the invasion that's coming, because this was a like, for the end times around storm of chaos time when like you know the big thing it's like next
invasion of chaos is coming our can is getting ready to cook heads up. So that's kind of like what this is building up to, they don't obviously know our can, but they know like it's cast is on the move again, teach these was the biggie cheese of scaven society.
Right.
My, the biggie cheese for us to go with like the chain.
I'm thinking of the back to the barnyard singing mouse thing. Yeah, like corn dogs only smaller. I did read, I did, I did not watch the I did read the Hunger Games though.
Yeah, they were.
I mean, sorry, that's almost like, yeah, sorry. It's okay. New young adult books I read when I was 13.
Decent enough for a 13 year old.
Go away.
Oh, that is a diabolical.
Diabolical hang on.
Oh, God. Yeah.
Good Lord, get this degenerate anime stuff out of here.
She wants to watch you.
Oh, it says in times is mentioned days now officially ruined. I'm sorry.
Well, there you can go check out Collins video about how if the end times, you know weren't to happen. So, I thoroughly enjoyed that. I'm glad you liked it. I got to actually, I got to cook a little bit that was fun.
I might implement it one day. I can dream but no way.
I think they've said for the like the end times is still explicitly canon so well that sucks.
I had a news about this new setting in the three Empress time.
No, it's upsetting because it's selling well and I've like I've been to like my local GW and they say like every Saturday there's a bunch of people play an old world. It's performing well, they just were like, what if we don't support it.
I don't think GW already, or were ready or even already. It's great because again it's like, as much as like people, we are a little spoiled in terms of like how much more like we get models out for our little war game, but it does like an actual, you know, I'm sure behind the scenes so it's a mammoth task to actually get it out
and I do wish they had made but would it now with like particularly Space Marine to coming out they've they basically worked out like, oh, a game can completely ignite a new level of like interest so they, they made me learn the lesson so there's another one fancy game in the future,
that's going to be really big. Hopefully they'll actually be like, oh, we actually need to like get the product ready way before it's like, you know, before it's time in the sun rather than it's like closing time in the sun.
Who knows, but they donated $2 by the way saying reject sort of online original embrace the abridged carito. I can hear that means that's a bridge series I made for a bridge Dragon Balls.
My friends shout out to my, my mates who literally will still cackle with laughter at the abridged Dragon Ball. Good man. Yeah, like they they genuinely used to watch that instead of actual Dragon Balls.
One. Some of it some of it's like, some of the is has not ages as well. The met.
They also Max joins them as well because he's got to get back. He's got to get back to Mindenheim.
And while they're heading south.
There's another, Mr President, there's been a second storm from the chaos wastes and they're blown off course into the world's edge mountains, or.
They get hit with a bit of a one to where, speaking of the Titanic they scrape against the mountainside.
And then they're attacked by a chaos dragon named a scale and there.
A K J a L a N D I R scale and there's y'all, y'all under scale and yes.
I'm going to call them skull.
Skull the lander, Greg, Greg's. Yeah.
For those of you if if you remember from last time or just reading the books.
I still remember Felix's sword was a. Yeah, what is it. It was a it was a sacred artifact of an order of Imperial Knights.
You know, which so it's it's a it's a good quality sword it's never dulled like it's got very faint enchantments like not super obvious nothing like God.
Yeah. Yeah. Nothing nothing like God tricks acts it's a little magical seems the magic seems to start and end with you know you never need to maintain it, which is pretty good enchantment no works got to be put in so it's going to be sharp.
And then the dragon goes by and Felix gets hits with the black rage.
Because, as it turns out, caragal exists to slaughter dragons.
And it completely overtakes Felix's mind for a second until all he can think of is kill dragon kill dragon kill dragon.
That reminds me of something I don't know what it is though.
It, it lets him tank like a blast for like himself snoring God driven will blast to the dragons fire.
In spite of all this though.
Dragons can fly, spoiler alert.
It's a it's a long sword you know Felix is a pretty tall guy it's a big sword, he can't swing that high.
And most of the weapons of speed like spirit of grummy because it this is a magical ancient like huge cast Reagan.
They can't hurt it until.
Hey, Andy you want to, can you you mind finishing a line for me.
Okay, commander you don't have the firepower.
What's that from.
Halo Reach.
What is it, Carter doesn't have the firepower Andy, what does he got a Pelican.
He's got the mass.
Oh, he's got the mass that's the one. Yeah, I let you down with my halo.
I thought you'd have me on it, but it's okay.
But, uh, very cool just.
He's about to come a cause a into this thing.
He, he gets into a gyrocopter and just carves, like, just chunks of flesh into the skulls.
Just flesh.
Before he detonates the explosives he brought with them.
Which is a shame because Varick was like he was also like cheerful for a dwarf.
Dwarfs generally aren't biggest fans of regular humans.
Varick like seemed happy to talk to Felix talk shop.
He was kind of a sign that some of the stuff about dwarfs and like technological conservatism was maybe not as inbuilt into them as they'd like to put on, because he seemed perfectly happy to move stuff forward.
And with that, he, he carded.
He crashed into the dragon.
You are Tom Warren for the five bucks as I really wish I was a story where God chicken Felix went to Cathay now.
Now there's actually law to see how the sword effects things I didn't think of that because there are there were stories that are like the most of that ever mentioned is got you can feel like briefly mentioned yeah we went to Cathay, or like they
went to Cathay on a, they can someone that's got a layover.
Absolutely right that story.
That'd be very funny if they go to talk to like Xiao Ming and then Felix his mind is so murdered and he just doesn't know why I need to attack that man, and I just like average feel like he's going to immediately turn into like no wings but it's a long, long sky.
I don't get it like, just being like dignitaries and God tricks like, what's wrong with you, he's just like, what's wrong with you. I don't know.
He looks a bit angry.
Bees from Sweden also another 20 sec says, skull in there, or sorry OCD is kicking in.
We are butchering your deer. I will do my best. The cultural here. Okay, skeleton deer. I can say that.
But with this skeleton deer he's not dead but he is forced away because gyrocopter full of bombs hurt most things.
But the airship is still badly damaged and they're forced to go to care of cadren for repairs the Slayer keep.
And it's, you know, all the dwarfs they celebrate that hammers return it's a very powerful sacred artifact.
And a whole bunch of dwarfs we thought lost forever came back to that's great too.
Because it's the Slayer keep, they planned a big old quest to go take down the dragon of a bunch of slayers love triangle moments, Felix and all our car and rocky grounds because the work is kind of a piece of light noble woman,
she has no duties to her people. And Felix is following this short murderous man around due to his own.
They have differing obligations as it were.
She's she's the mistress to the, the true marriage. Yeah.
You know and Max is there too.
You know, Max is, you know, Ulrica likes Max a bit. I feel like I'm in high school saying this shit right now.
She also likes Max. So Felix like so and so but gotcha gets jealous.
We say so I think I know some spoilers for that but I don't know if we can, because we mentioned it with a OS like those two.
I mean, we'll say a bit. But for for this book, we have a four new slayers to kind of take their place, because Ulrica, you know she's decides like she's going to go tell Zarina Katerin the ice queen Kislev about the chaos invasion on foot
and she's going her separate way. And Felix, like I said, honor bound company got trick on his quest. You know for a little bit they they stick together but eventually their path parts.
And they, they join.
But, you know, pardon me.
Never forget this layer with the luchador mask. I'm not going to.
Oh, I think it's not an.
Yeah, pardon me, nevermind.
We have these four new slayers so it's you know it's the five, not Malachi he's with the spirit of grimy but it's got trick Felix Max Ulrica, and four new slayers Steg.
His name is Steg.
Not good. Not really much about him.
He's got a lot of teeth, like gold obsessed and dwarves don't really do thievery, like the idea of stealing from your fellow dwarf.
Not a fan to the point that out of every slayer there, they look at him like he's the most offensive.
It's good.
Steg. Steg. We have Bjorni Bjornisen very fun name the same, who's, he's ugly, and he keeps flirting with anything that moves.
Even Felix.
If I remember correctly he might have made a joke about that.
He's really ugly, but he's got spirit. Yeah, that's what we like to see.
Uli, Uli-sen. Oh it says a beast from Sweden says Malachi comes with he's sworn over to avenge Varak.
Oh yeah, pardon me. Thank you for covering me on that one. Thank you for the reaction. Cheers brother, thank you.
Woeman.
That's Bjorni. And then this one, the last dude whose name is just Grim.
Grim. Yeah, he's, he doesn't talk. He's very quiet.
Uli, he's, he's young. He's a bit of a coward on the inside and he keeps boasting to make people think he's not a coward, goes as well as you would think.
And because of the dragon kind of coming here to roost, his awakening has stirred up a whole bunch of orcs in the region, led by a one off gotcha can Felix book character named Oogrek Manflair who has a cool name but is a one off gotcha can Felix villain.
I'm not even going to pretend to all of you that he's not going to die by the end of this book.
But you know, we'll get to that.
And we, look, pardon me, the group passes through a village named Gelt, no relation to Balthasar.
They learned that there's a bandit leader named Heinrich Richter as well who's been causing problems, and because he's recruited a whole bunch of men whose homes are burned down by the dragon.
Oh, Heinrich, not of all the people uses a badden.
Oh, not Heinrich. Pardon me. It's Henrich. I misread. Oh Henrich, slightly less. Not much better.
They do just pull the names out like German filter hat.
War criminals. Yeah.
Like Reinhard Heidrich. I wonder if he's going to be a baddie.
Yeah, so the on the way to, you know, find the dragon. They've got constant bandit attacks they've got constant or can goblin warband attacks.
And it's just a massive struggle and pain. But thankfully, Malachi McKyson he's he's he's he's a slayer engineer he's made some new banging weapons to take down the dragon, you know, it's a, everyone's got some fancy weapons and
he's a very powerful wizard, who is, as it turns out casting fireball or, you know, golden fireball very handy.
They eventually figured the orcs realize the, what is it, the, the group is after the dragon. So, Ugric says, he's one of those few orcs that knows basic math and thinking skills.
So he's like, we're gonna let them fight the dragon and then we'll kick the hell out of them when they're done.
And this is more of a build up for next book, but it does happen. We're back to thank Will and Lurk for just a brief moment everyone, they're still walking across Keeslev.
When they're captured by chaos warriors who take them to the leader of their force named Eric a demon claw, which is kind of a cool name, as well as his two advisors the sorcerers
Loigor Goldenrod and Kelmaine Blackstaff, all three of those fellas.
They're going to be showing up in Gotchkin Felix books later, just,
just so you know. Thanquil managed to negotiate an alliance
through the power of dude trust me bro, basically, he's, he basically promises that other Skaven will happily accept this alliance Mr. Scary Demon Chaos Warlord man, trust me.
Which he does. He doesn't trust him, no one trusts the Skaven, but he's like, well, I'm going to kill you if you don't somehow come through with this so.
Yeah, I've got to pull a hand of aces like what are you going to do? Yeah, no problem.
Lurk is also the entire time kind of luring it over Thanquil a bit because Lurk is now arguably Bone Ripper 4.
He's about to get it, that's the cursed name at this point.
So, the whole time Thanquil's luring, I need to be a bit more careful around Lurk now because he's big and scary.
And the man was by his finger and they were holding on to the edge of a steam powered ship in the air for literally like weeks.
And with that, you know, Thanquil gets that alliance going and the chaos forces, you know, they bring him and Lurk to help it.
The clan Moldar Stronghold where they're imprisoned.
And unfortunately, one that's their end of the presence in Gatwick and Felix for the moment, for the moment, but two, Thanquil's books start there.
And while this is a bit of a segue, I feel it's worth noting the first time we see Thanquil's point of view in his book is he's having a dream PTSD flashback about Gatwick and Felix.
And then starts blaming other people for his failure to kill them.
I still love the writing the letters pretending it's from his rival in the Siege of Nuln.
This is so fun. Like it looks like it's written by a child.
Oh, man. It's like one of my drawings.
I was going to ask what type of wizard, mage is Max Schreiber?
He's, it kind of, it bounced back and forth.
Like he started off as a, I believe a beast wizard, but then he turned to like to a lore of light.
Yeah. Although, and then there was like a brief side story.
He had used like a golden light, like scrying orb. So there's bits of metal and then slight spoiler for the end times.
He starts being able to cast multiple lures of magic, which humans are just flat out not able to do.
So God only knows what lore of magic Max is actually.
Elves, elves can do multiple laws of magic. The only reason humans do only one law usually is because like that's humans just not usually as good.
So that's as much as like they could master really, but they could technically do more than multiple laws of magic.
I think it's equal parts. Max is just, just a fantastic wizard and GW writers, someone intervened a bit and had things switched up a bit.
Yeah. I guess everyone loves a savant in the underdog faction. Like you're not supposed to, but you are.
Just a cool guy.
Oh, we've got a donation by JP. Thank you brother for the 10 bucks. It's long time listener, first time watcher. When are we getting more Yunari lore? That's what we've been saying for years, brother.
You'll have to let me know.
And then write it.
Yeah.
Go ahead, sorry.
Gold, thank you. Beastman from Sweden, who is the secondary character in this lore crimes episode, the secondary speaker.
Yeah, he was a gold wizard then under William King, then he was a light wizard. And then he starts using I think lore of life or peace in the end times. He's all over the place.
Donkeyman USA says his lurk is also getting juiced up by Zech. Is this true?
A little bit. Not a lot, but eh.
Sadly goes time.
He's being a lurk. He's lurking.
But for this, you know, we cut back to the main group. They're going through villages destroyed by Scalandir.
Ulrica admits she loves Felix. This is still happening.
So they, she stays with the group to slay the dragon.
They find this fella named Johan Gatz that Felix is immediately like, you're, you're not right. You're, you're, there's something off about you. And then within about five pages, it turns out he's a spy for that Henrik fella.
And he also suggests that the bandits shadow the group to the dragon's lair. So now the orcs and the bandits are following behind them to the dragon's lair.
And this is when kind of like last time everything kicks off all at once because they reached the mountain where Scalandir is nesting, roosting in. What does a dragon do?
Save aggressively.
Because they always sit on a pile of treasure. He does have a hoard. So that is, that is fair. I'll say hoarding. That sounds fair.
Yeah. So yeah.
Last quick interjection. So the cosmic stealth bomber, he's commented quite a lot before. He says, hey, at Pancras no work, how about we make some new Ynari lore, which I guess if you've done a recent video on what would happen in the end times, maybe Colin might be the person to actually pitch.
I'll have to do it myself at this point.
I think Colin might be the only person who could possibly pitch. I think maybe like Magikill did a video years ago about what they could, how they could have fixed that Ynari books, but no one else has really given the Eldar a proper, you know.
I've got my Ahriman video coming out tomorrow near the end. It's just like, and then the Daughter of Shades dunked on Ahriman was just like, hey look, you know those Rubik marines who've been dead for ages?
And they were like, I'm alive. And then the Avatar of Inna just kills them by dropping them into a pit. Oh, that was fun.
Why don't they get more moments like that?
The only time the Ynari can win is when Ehriman is losing.
I think his fifth book coming out recently and apparently he's lost everything including his war band. God damn. Yeah, I read the earlier, I read the, not the synopsis, but just the background story.
Premise, there we go. And it was like, what do you mean Ehriman's lost everyone? Doesn't he have his own war band? What happened to it? Yeah, I went through all poor books in preparation to the video and then the new ones not quite out yet, or it's just come out and I was just like, it's just, he just, he just, he never learns.
That's his whole, his arc is, oh, I'm so clever, and does the stupidest stuff again and again.
Ehriman Horus Heresy lore is good. Ehriman, like, read the first three books, I said to the guys, read the first three Ehriman books and then after that, like, I feel like it should have, like it could have stayed still for a while.
If you know what I mean.
We could have left Ehriman alone for a bit.
Could have waited to like, you know, codex lore, didn't need to have a whole novel where nothing changed. And like, Typhus is doing his own thing, Lucius is dunking on the exorcist chapter, and Khan is somewhere just going, ah, somewhere chopping someone's head off.
You're like, that's all they need to do. Whereas like five books for Ehriman? That's two short stories? That's a lot.
So I like the first one. That was all right. Because it's low, it's like the Lion's recent books, just low stakes, if you know what I mean, until the very end. Like, it's all good.
Low stakes, you need some like low stakes stories every now and then that contrasts.
Just a few space marines, like just a handful. You don't need to have like, and then the entire chapter like through itself at a wall, unheeded.
If all you have is everything's up to 11 all the time, it doesn't mean anything. Every now and then you got to have a little, you know, come down book.
Yeah. But for now we're at the highlight of this one, we're almost through. They've reached the dragon's lair. Steg and Uli were too bitch made to follow the rest into the lair at first.
And then when they turned around, it turns out Ugric and all of his orcs were showing up here. So they were like, maybe we'll take our chances with the dragon. There's only one dragon.
So how this fight goes is they start fighting.
Steg is distracted, but you know, he's the thief, remember, he's just distracted by the thieves, all the gold that the Skellandir has been hoarding.
It falls on him and he dies.
Oh, he's a, you know, like the Dwarven gold lust, that happens.
Or is he just there like picking fruit and going like, I can only carry so much. This is heavier than this. This is worth more than this. What's the day on this that's worth more than that?
He was just going through the gold pile rummaging and then it fell on him.
Snorri back in Karak, Karak, did he not join them? Snorri's here. Oh, he's with them as well, yeah.
Snorri's being... Snorri. Snorri is here providing morale as Snorri's presence does without fault.
He's the mascot of the group.
If the mascot could kill a man, yes.
If the mascot could rip him in the resolve, yeah.
Grimm is incinerated. Neat.
That's a doom.
It was a mighty doom, a dragon burned him.
Oli and Bjorni were the ones... Bjorni Bjornisen, yeah. They survived this book and also were like the two ones kind of with the clear, the author cares about these guys more.
So I can't sum it up much.
Anything for Steg and Grimm, the slayer who doesn't talk and is Grimm.
But while the party's all fighting, I mentioned Gottrick didn't get the kill. That's because for once, Felix kills the big threat of the book.
Karagul, the dragon slaying sword, it empowers Felix. He leaps into the air and just like jackhammers it down through the skeleton of his brain.
He does Drax the Destroyer and is it Guardians 2? He just goes like...
Yeah. And which is good because Malakai's other plan for the dragon was a whole lot of explosives that probably no one was getting out of.
They return to the surface and then, remember how I said the orcs and bandits both followed the group? They're fighting each other now.
I figured, yeah.
They're just going at it. Gottrick screams out that the dragon is dead and the bandits, I think they just kind of piss off.
And then the orcs come just rushing in to finish them off. They're like, well, let's get that fight now.
I realize I forgot to mention them. Ivan sent two bodyguards with Ulrica. They died here. They really weren't important.
They were resoundingly unimportant. And they're dead now. Felix feels bad, Ulrica feels worse. None of the dwarfs seem to give a shit.
Did they die to the dragon or died to the orcs? Died to the orcs.
The orcs got them, which has got to be unfortunate.
Mjörn and Felix, they take some bad wounds, but Gottrick kills Ugric and the spirit of Grimni shows up.
It just starts bombing what's left of the bandits and the orcs, blowing them away.
Malachai and Uli, they had set up that blasting powder, those explosives to take down the dragon, if nothing else would.
And they had to go down in one big blaze of glory. Those actually got set off and all that treasure is buried under the rubble.
But the book ends with, you know, the dragon is killed, the orcs and bandits are routed.
For once, Felix got a W, not many of those, but hey, he did. That's pretty good.
I mean, today, Gottrick still got the, he still gets the final say.
He did, but come on, Felix got a dragon. Come on. Yeah, that's pretty.
Was it, is it the Chaos Dragon? Maybe he was insufferable after that, chatting up all those ladies like, I don't want to brag, but I killed a dragon.
Max vibrating with anger.
Probably. He's just stewing like a fucking blonde asshole.
Dickhead, man, dickhead. Yeah.
He's got that exact accent.
That would be Dragon Slayer.
The, yeah, that's Dragon Slayer.
The big old bad dragon's dead. A little bit less, you know, big old narrative plot stuff compared to Demon Slayer.
This was more of a, hey, what if Gottrick and Felix found a dragon and then killed it?
But I don't know. It's again, all the, like all the William King, Gottrick and Felix books are very good.
I know I just pulled out of how I tell these kind of stories and just format. I do gloss over a bit, but they're like the dialogue in all these books is pretty phenomenally well written.
They're enjoyable as much as I made fun of, you know, fucking Grimm and Stag.
None of the characters like completely unnecessary. Maybe the two Keese of Light guys were. I really do not care about them.
They were. Well, it would have been strange for a noble to not have guards. Yeah, that's again, that's probably really the reason.
It's like, oh, she's a Keese of Light noble woman. She's going to be going out on her own to go meet Zarina, to give her some bodyguards.
But I it's they're good books. Yeah. Is this all the ones he did for the series then? Or did he keep doing some more William King?
I which someone said earlier seven of the Gottrick and Felix books.
Yeah, because I think the the first two omnibuses are all him. And if I remember correctly, like the third omnibus is when like it's like it has him and Nathan Long on the cover.
And then David Guillermo, I can't remember to say his last name.
He I think he took over some of the later ones because he also writes the Godtrick AOS stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know. It does quite well with Godtrick in AOS knowing that he doesn't obviously have Felix with him.
But the guy kind of gets it right along and David Geimer. I knew there I knew there was multiple people involved in that.
You threw me for a loop. Yeah.
I at the very yeah I think at the very least the next two books are Felix, Felix or William King because a giant slayer is in the first one of the third omnibus that was written by
David or William King as well.
Yeah, but just I think William King didn't like he didn't like give up on the series. William King just retired I think from writing see he wouldn't quite established author even before he wrote Godtrick and Felix.
Yeah.
This is like we're talking about like he's been writing stuff this is like some of these things are early 2000s to think some of the early stuff must have been even 90s maybe. He's been one of the authors been around for a long time and very rarely like do authors stay in the sort of sphere of
Warhammer forever. I mean, particularly guys who've written very good 40k books the guy who Mr. Anthony Reynolds or Joshua Reynolds, I think, and he wrote Fabius Bile trilogy, and people say that's some of the better stuff but then he no longer writes Warhammer books,
I think we are definitely at a point where the end of the horrors heresy particularly a lot of these guys. They're like, I've, I've kind of got all I needed to, like as much like as much like a bring to the one I'm assessing I kind of got it out.
And I mean, other than Dan Abner who the dude is actually like, I could, I could go forever man.
Yeah, I really like the James Swallow books which is more blah, then yours and he stopped writing in like 2011, I think was his last one. And that was an omnibus sort of thing so it's like yeah I don't think he does anything now, or maybe no he's done sisters
stuff in, but even then, I know, writes, he like he writes Star Trek he writes Warhammer he writes all sorts of stuff maybe even Star Wars. He's got a person he goes all over the place.
But it's nice to see like when they have like a baby and they just go, this is my thing and they do it like kind of like the the Nightlords trilogy is like a good example of like this was who wrote the nightlaws to the
Yeah, ADB that was like this is my baby, and he wrote it and everyone's like this is really good.
And it's never been continued, which is a bit of a shame.
Well, I don't know if they like that doesn't really need to be continued I think until, again, like a model release wave.
I think they might not as well to get like a character will be a like a decimus decimus Yeah, that's all it's just like he left decimus like you could have just left it with that was it and then it was all self-contained like now you got to leave us with one new character.
Yeah, we're in a strange point where like a lot of the like well known all the people guy Grave McNeil who wrote all the Uriel Ventress books and literally hundreds of the like everywhere and load of horror and heresy he now is the head writer at riot, because he made League of Legends I think the one
the one you know arcane. That was a great reaction. He literally lurched to the side. The League of Legends has good stuff because fucking League of Legends and yet arcane is just amazing.
Yeah, so yeah, it makes you feel like jealous but yeah so there are a lot of them, probably now they'll be a lot of like newer people and hopefully we'll get more. I mean like who's it Sandy Mitchell, who wrote that guy will be like he's been around for ages and he like happily keep making stuff
and maybe someone out there will one day reunite Godric and Fumis.
I've just seen angry homunculus said yeah Grave McNeil got laid off by riot.
Did he what?
Really?
Wow, I mean that maybe then he'll come back. Hell yeah.
And we just say like come back, please, please more books.
You can do some good stuff you know I mean, to say he is the guy who made the demon kill Aba, so say what you will.
Say what you will.
Yeah, like so many people got some cool cool stuff to. I mean, particularly if you think about what's going to be released in warhammer 40 km, hopefully one fantasy and the next few years hopefully we'll see some usually like to pair it with stories so if there's a model release for kids
that you never know, make it some authors given it a shot as any other bits that any more to any more law for today, any other questions that was a, I was about the endpoint for me though.
Now is a good serving, I particularly liked the kicked in the nuts.
Going through my notes I was like oh I forgot about this when I wrote that down all this is beautiful.
And there's also one more bit I want to finish on which is particularly in like some books, even though like, you know, this is like the general law of it is very hard to convey how good like how well the characters come across and just a normal conversation
like but he got track just being very like standoffish and then like those little glimpses of moment where he does show. He's not a true friend to someone but like it's his version of it.
So we kind of live for that and then Felix somewhat being a, you know, the feelings on the outside versus the feeling on the feelings on the inside a little bit more insecure and a bit more unsure of himself, whereas on the outside people
be like, oh he's kind of like, you know, somewhat of a brave warrior and then on the inside is like, oh my god oh shit shit shit shit stuff is always heaven says how many.
I'm going to have a bone ripper tier list at one point okay.
There are.
I just looked it up because I never actually kept track.
There have been 13 known bone ripper.
I mean, it doesn't necessarily just because it's called the bone ripper doesn't mean it's going to be doing the bone ripping. It's like, oh, it could be an ironic name.
A bone ripper eight through 12 is unknown.
And also, we'll continue with the gosh and Felix ones, because again we we like doing these ones, because they're fun. We should we probably will have to do a thank all absolutely some time in the future I'm reading his books now.
Yeah, so, as much like it heavily, maybe we're at a good spot for where like it ties in so you might do a thank all first and then another gosh I can feel this but just perspective Colin how far are we into got trick and Felix now.
There's a we've gotten to the first one of omnibus to write, so a while.
I was thinking like maybe we can, like, for thank will like definitely finish off a beast layer and vampire slayer because that's the end of omnibus to.
Then, after that, we can be like, oh, let's hopefully have read thankful by that.
Colin can read. I can. It's a shock I know. Yeah, yes.
I think other than that though I think hopefully everyone enjoyed if you listen to it this far along, again I should have said earlier please do like, we should say it way earlier.
I forget.
We want to next week, I think we're doing another quiz aren't we is it next week's focus. So we've got some got some will have something cheeky for that lined up.
Again, the question of the week was a body cop.
Let us know funny answers please we love it. And, oh, man, the answer was one final fun fact for you.
Boner, thank will eight bone ripper six.
It was blown up by someone else, and then he ate it.
Oh, well it's bad situation snack.
There's, there's your other homework for the week I'm up with some for the question of the week and pour one out for bone rippers.
One out just for just for snoring just just because the keg of vodka.
Yeah. That being said though thank you everyone who was listening for watching. Again, if you want us to offline we also on Spotify, Amazon music like kind of good stuff.
And we'll catch you guys next week.
