Kinslayer Competition!!

Gotrek & Felix Kinslayer by David Guymer

That's right big axe lovers, Kinslayer is due out in September and my author copies are in. Four of these hefty hardbacks is just too much for any one shelf, even a dwarf-made one of sound Karaz-a-Karak stone, so I'm hoping to get shot of at least one before the release date. Boring scheduling reasons mean that I can't send them out before September, but you'll still be getting yourself a signed (and free!) copy of Kinslayer a good day or so before those elf-loving fools who didn't put in the effort to win a competition.

So what do you have to do?

The sharpe-eyed will have noted from the cover that Kinslayer is 'Book I of the Doom of Gotrek Gurnisson.' What that ominous title means for our heroic duo is something that you'll have to wait to find out, but the endlessly debated question of Gotrek's doom will make up our competition.

I want to know which heavyweight from the sprawling Warhammer world or the pages of Black Library you would most love to see have a crack at Gotrek. How would it go? Could they win, and if so how?

Tweet me @WarlordGuymer or add your suggestion to the thread I'm about to set up on my facebook author page (https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Dav... the most brilliant, funny or bang to rights awesome will win themselves a book. If there's enough interest then I may even give away two books, so spread the word! Also, while this skaven would never condone cheating in other people, I'm not about to start cross-referening entrants on twitter with entrants on facebook, so hey, it can't hurt to vote twice.

Who do you want to see fight Gotrek and what would be the outcome? - Go!!

Lyndon Street Its got to be Malal. The axe gotrek has been using for years was designed by malal to be an unbeatable incoruptable weapon to be used against all forces of chaos. trouble is malal now wants his axe back and gotreks head or he wants to be his champion to fight against the chaos gods. Gotrek will never be the champion to any chaos gods not even gods that hate chaos as much as he does so he decides to spit in the eye of malal and uses malals own axe to cut a great swathe through malals face that will never heal and this gotrek is remembered for all time to be the only mortal to scar a god. a fitting end, belligerent and head strong to the bloody end! dragged down screaming curses and obscenities with his last breathe. He should die saving felix in some manor to

Andrew Alvis Kharn the Betrayer. He'd go berzerk and so would Gotrek but Kharn would out do his magic rune-axe with Khornes' favour and finally after much 'foreplay' he would punch Gotrek unconscious . But Kharn would have enjoyed it so much he would spare Gotrek, angering the Slayer to become stronger in the one day that he could beat Kharn so badly Kharn would have no choice but to give him the glorius death in battle he craves to atone.

Bak3r For me, it would have to be go back to past characters. Lurk vanished in Beastslayer, so bring him back with more power and magical abilities, team him up with the remaining brother of the twin magicians, wanting revenge for his brother killed in Giantslayer. He wants revenge and seeks out Lurk. Lurks Skaven links leads him to the mines in Naggassizar, and they team up with an increasingly powerful Nagash. Felix and Gotrek are lead down towards them by ploys and rumours of powerful monsters while between the three antagonists, a story of decite, betrayal and revenge worthy of a game of thrones book ensues. Gotrek dies stopping nagash gaining his past powers and swarming the world in death.

David Guymer It's been pointed out to me that I've not put an end date for this competition - just so you know, that end date will be the last day of June and I'll decide on a winner soon after


Black Librarium Hi Mr Guymer,

I'm totally crazy, so I wrote a short story for your competition. I'm not a writer, be forgiving. ;)
