Über diesen Titel

A Gotrek Gurnisson Audiobook

Greywater Fastness – an industrial canker in the heart of Ghyran. Foundries and metalworks pump soot and fire endlessly into the skies of the Realm of Life. Dusty streets hide peril at every turn, and attacks by the Dreadwood Sylvaneth hamper the city’s relentless encroachment.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Gotrek takes on some of his earliest enemies again – the scheming skaven! It may be a different time, and a different world, but the legendary Slayer hasn't lost his knack for dealing with vermin.

THE STORY

Gotrek Gurnisson barges into Greywater Fastness seeking answers as to why his Fyreslayer rune is mysteriously waning. But finding them in the stronghold's clogged and blackened arteries may prove far more difficult than first thought, and with skaven warlocks building something deep underground – something that will cement their place in skavendom forever – Gotrek begins to wonder if he might instead find that which has eluded him these past ages – his doom.

I waited long for the next Gotrek novel, but its as unsatisfying as the last one. No answers, no direction, nothing really happening. I dont know. The writers seem to have gotten into a corner with no way out. The prolog was a repetition we had now in 3 novels I think. All in all ok, but story wise nothing thats good for a Gotrek.

Speaker great, stoy mäh

im trying really hard to like these AOS Gotrek books... even like the first ones until soulslayer but now its just a mockery of everything thing that was and could have been. Every book a new companion, and when you start to like them they disappear or get killed. And in this book, gotrek pretty much does nothing and is outmatched by a manling, a manling kills a greater skaven demon with a normal weapon? what a sick joke. hope it gets better again in the future. But hopium is every mans downfall

Spoiler alert

As a long-time fan of Gotrek Gurnisson, I found Verminslayer a bit disappointing compared to his earlier adventures. More than in any previous story, Gotrek feels like a far-side character here — barely present in any meaningful way, with few moments of real interaction or memorable dialogue. I don’t expect deep character development from Gotrek, but I do expect his raw presence and his constant clash with the sheer weirdness of the Mortal Realms. That spark was missing.

Listening to this audiobook felt like experiencing a lukewarm version of Skavenslayer, only without the dynamic relationships and intensity that made that story so compelling. The plot follows a familiar pattern — Skaven threat, rising chaos — but the pacing and tension never quite reach the same heights.

That said, the Skaven humor was spot on, and the author clearly had fun with the bizarre, imaginative elements of the Mortal Realms. There’s a creative energy here that I appreciated, and some scenes shine with that wild Warhammer charm. I just wish that same energy had been channeled through Gotrek himself, rather than yet another bland side character — which, to be fair, may have been a direction from above rather than the author’s own choice.

Overall, Verminslayer has flashes of brilliance and wit but lacks the grit, drive, and sheer stubbornness that make a Gotrek story truly feel like Gotrek.

I am a big Gotrek fan since the books from the old world. But here I must say that the secret stars are the Skaven. Like Thanquol in the aforementioned classic Gotrek novels you get a new cast of Skaven from which I hope to read more in the future.

Good-Good
