Nothing about being a slayer says die fighting evil or in single combat, aside from the Bloodthirster I don't recall too much single combat, even with the dragon there were several slayers and Felix. I seem to recall him killing more than a few humans, including members of the Emperor's personal guard to save Felix. However he does widh to die with honour, not stealing or murdering innocents or from some plague. The whole "In battle Gotrek uses his axe with skill and power. His axe is encrusted with runes seeking the death of Chaos, and grant him feats and abilities far beyond even the greatest of slayers. Seeking death in a battle with evil has washed away all feelings for personal safety. While he seeks death, Gotrek always enters the fray to win" was redundant, opinioted and useless.

== Felix and the Axe ==

Shouldn't it be noted that Felix's aging has seemingly been severely retarded if not stopped completely by the aura of Gotrek's axe? It was mentioned several times in Manslayer and I think it's important to note.

This is also mentioned in Elfslayer on page 106. It's also used as reason that Max Schreiber thinks this may be the influence of chaos to. So it's a important twist in the story since Long took over.

== Slayer of the Storm God - The Harbringer wants to be the new Emperor? ==

Information contained in the "Other enemies" section, concerning the Harbringer of Stromfels (from the audiobook-only release of Gotrek and Felix's adventures "Slayer of the Storm God") seems incorrect. The Harbringer - after returning from his supposed 'death' at the hands of Gotrek - '''wanted''' to destroy Marienburg (for city's insolence against the 'true predators of Marienburg', i.e. Stromfels), that's true. Yet across the whole audiobook there in no information that the Harbringer possessed any - let's call them - 'political ambitions'. He says '''nothing''' about becoming the new Emperor.

I am aware that audiobooks are sort of hard to verify, as they do not exist in written form. However - possessing a copy of "Slayer of the Storm God" myself and being a life-long Warhammer fan - I deem the statement "The Harbinger sought to destroy the city of Marienburg '''and establish itself as the new ruler of the Empire'''" incorrect.

Edited the article and removed the information about Harbringer willing to become the Emperor. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jovaen|Jovaen]] ([[User talk:Jovaen|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jovaen|contribs]]) 10:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== Ignorant Armies ==

There is a very early Gotrek and Felix short story in the anthology ''Ignorant Armies'', edited by David Pringle. This does not appear to be included in any Gotrek and Felix list.

== The removal of the list of Gotrek and Felix books ==

I feel that the removal of the chronological list of Gotrek and Felix novels by [[User:Hekerui]] was unhelpful. The replacement page largely organizes the books by which omnibus they were later printed as a collection in, and this isn't any more or less helpful in terms of figuring out the reading order of the series. The chronological order was at least helpful with that up through Zombieslayer, and after that the series timeline gets a bit jumbled. Regardless, it is perhaps easier for a person to work through the series by seeing a clearly laid out listing of novels by timeline.

I don't know enough about Wikipedia editing or etiquette to feel confident reverting it back to how it was before, but I hope that in the future someone will at least improve the new list to make it more clear what the reading order of the novels is.
