== Description ==
For the Dwarf Slayer Gotrek Gurnisson, only death will serve as atonement for his past sins. Fate has been cruel, for his continual failure to achieve the ultimate doom he craves has led him to deadlier and deadlier encounters, each time ending in the vanquishing of a seemingly insurmountable enemy in a monumental duel. In Gotrek’s time wandering the world, he has slain some of the world’s most dangerous foes, including brutish Orcs, pernicious Skaven, Giants, Trolls, Dragons, Sorcerers of Chaos, Dark Elf Corsairs and many, many more. Though his history before becoming a mohawked Slayer is a mystery even to those closest to him, it is certain that many more enemies of the Forces of Order will be cut down by the blade of his mighty Rune Axe before the day of his doom – if ever it comes, of course!

== Strategy ==
=== Warhammer II ===
Gotrek and Felix will fight for the player for 30 turns when recruited. Neither actually level up or offer any of the usual utility of Lords and Heroes but are really strong in combat on their own.
After their departure, a new lord will need to be hired to take over their army. They will eventually reappear and gain new traits when recruited, but none of the traits they happened to acquire in their previous service will carry over. The new traits do allow them to grow more powerful in the later parts of the game without actual levelups at least.
