#elfslayer

After I posted Gotrek the Trollslayer last week (surprisingly he got just one like - can´t imagine why though) I had to give you my version of his best “friend” and companion the poet Felix Jaeger (Jäger). 

This mini was created by “Dark Sword Miniatures” (https://www.darkswordminiatures.com) and is part of the Game of Thrones series. This one is normally “Jon Snow” but it seemed perfect for Felix Jaeger. He wears a red cloak and an often repaired mail shirt and wields a magical dragon hating sword that sometimes takes over his mind (whenever a dragonlike creature is in sight).

Well take a guess who that could be and who´s stories I have been reading lately. 

....

Enough time? Well than here comes the big reveal. This my friends is of course the legendary Trollslayer Gotrek Gurnisson. 

I have read a lot of Warhammer novels in my time but never have I met with a cooler character than Gotrek who, in my eyes at least, is wielding one of the twin axes of the dwarven god Grimnir and thus is nearly undefeatable. 

Anyway I wanted to have a mini for this great character for a long time and than, Scibor Miniatures (http://sciborminiatures.com) created a “wild dwarf chieftain” that looked exactly like I imagined Gotrek to look.  So I bought that wild dwarf, sculpted a nosechain and an eyepatch for him and there he was Gotrek Gurnisson the mad slayer.

"Rion, allow me the opportunity to right this wrong that I have caused. Allow me to atone for the dishonour I have brought upon my Father, the house of Whiteleaf will-."

The Scholar's pleas were cut short when Rion gripped the young elf's slender arm and pulled him whilst simultaneously sitting down on a large piece of rubble that he used as an improvised seat. The desired effect happened when Aethenir fell unceremoniously over the elf's knees.

"What are you doing?" Squeaked Aethenir as he stared in horror at the floor beneath him.
