You know, something I would like to see with the Age of Sigmar Gotrek stories is Gotrek actually accomplishing one of his goals. I doubt we’ll see him remove the Master Rune, that’s not really the goal I’m talking about. Since his first appearance in AoS, he’s been talking about finding Felix, finding his Axe, and giving the Gods a real how-do-ya-do for playing with his fate and not giving him his DOOM.
I know some fans wouldn’t wanna see Ol’ Felix as a Stormcast, but I’m all for it. I actually think this is a goal Gotrek coulda accomplished by now, if BL allowed him to. Especially if the Felixcast fella starts hearing rumors of an enraged slayer Demi-god running around calling himself Gotrek and feels a stab of nostalgia down in his ancient heart- feeling compelled to seek this slayer out. That, and I think a cool quest to find his old axe would be grand!
I still haven’t finished Gitslayer, I’m about halfway in, so who knows. Maybe one of these things happen by that time. It would be cool, but I doubt it. Gotrek, though, I think he deserves a win in this way. To find something of his, of the old world; be it his slayer’s axe, or his human poet husband in whatever form the man has taken in these realms. I’d also like to see human poet husband meet Gotrek’s Murder Aelf wife, and the three of them retire to a nice cabin where they all bang it out together and spite the gods every day. The end.
