In the dark and medieval Warhammer world, Gotrek Gurnisson and Felix Jaeger travel the Empire seeking out the most fearsome monsters imaginable. Blazing orange hair and countless tattoos mark Gotrek as a Troll Slayer, a Dwarf warrior doomed to seek a glorious death in battle to atone for an unknown and personal disgrace. Felix has sworn an oath to record this death saga, but his only problem is staying alive to retell the tale.
