Gotrek and Felix: unsung heroes of the Empire, or nothing more than common thieves and murderers? The truth perhaps lies somewhere in between, and depends entirely upon whom you ask...

THE STORY

While travelling north in pursuit of hobgoblin gold, Gotrek and Felix find themselves holed up in the infamous Castle Bilenkov as guests of the curious Count Viktor. While the old man seems harmless enough, Felix soon finds himself the target of an ancient Kislevite curse, battling for his very soul against the insidious daemon Ghrizzhtadt. With Gotrek's resistance to magic waning, the adventurers have no choice but to confront the eternal evil of the Everliving.

An audio tie-in to the bestselling Warhammer series – produced by Heavy Entertainment for Black Library. Written by David Guymer. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble. Performed by Gareth Armstrong, Chris Fairbank and David Timson. Music composed by Simon Slater.

fun short story

fun short story. kind of cool to have an audio drama. was fun to hear different voice actors for the different characters. I would definitely recommend it

Accents?

The Empire is German.

Why is Felix Polish? It's extremely distracting. The story is entertaining enough, but it's really distracting having the VA not get the very unsubtle way the world is built. Gotrek's voice is not what I'd expect, but it's fine. It's just that Felix sounding like a Kislevite is very jarring.

The Empire is aggressively German in the lore and Felix is from Altdorf. Why does he sound, at best, eastern European? It's a bizarre choice and it undermines it for me.

I'm fine with most of the Jonathan Keeble books where he has a British accent. GW is British and that's just, a major part of their vibe. It's just this weird choice of accent that makes no sense either with the corporate background or the lore that I find grating.

Story is good enough otherwise, but the performance really throws it.

The Voice Acting.

The voice acting for Gotrek, I feel like should've sounded more gruff, like how the narrator telling MANY stories through audio books, of Gotrek & Felix novels previously in the recent pasts.

otherwise, good story to listen to, when you're going or staying in one place for an hour or so.

Why change voices from the ones used for the majority of gotten and Felix books?

I couldn’t stand the voice acting, I will be refunding both of these versions. I can’t stand these voices.

Couldn’t finish

The chronicle/short story idea was cool but that’s just about it. I was hoping having Johnathan Keeble on the list would be enough to hold it all together but the other voice actors and sound effects are so bad it was actually unbearable. Somehow Felix got almost a Russian accent? Gotrek sounds absolutely ridiculous. There is a sound effect feature which is cool but it is very distracting. It is competing for your attention over the narrator voice, it’s almost at the same volume level so as when he speaks you hear contestant footsteps. I am not joking, you hear footsteps almost the entire time the narorstor is talking. This story was barely over an hour long and I got halfway through and couldn’t take it anymore. There is no way GamesWhorshp listened to this before they gave it the go ahead. Refunding, do not buy.
