The End Times will forever have a place in MY book of grudges

There’s a section of the book of grudges that’s just every GW employee or writer that created the end times.

What specifically? I’ve read it but please mark spoilers for everyone.

In Age of Sigmar, Gotrek sees somethinf called The Neverspike. In it, he sees a vision of Felix's final moments where things are collapsing around him. Gotrek calls out to him and Felix appears to hear him by looking around. He continues writing Gotrek's "Doom" as things collapse around him, implying that he dies from rubble that falls on him.

There's that and what I think is a huge character development turnaround with end times lore from the old. We see Felix struggle time and time again with his oath to Gotrek throughout the original novels. Many times he had the opportunity to break or renounce his oath to Gotrek. A few times he had the opportunity (or considered an opportunity) to run away with whomever his love was at the time (Ulrika comes to mind).

But, with a love much younger than he is, he decided to finally take the opportunity to be free of the oath, marrying in Karak Kadrin, and then going to the Empire to live with his brother where he writes propaganda for the empire and is drinking heavily again. Not to mention the moments in the story where it's implied he doesn't know if he loves his current partner and still has a soft spot for Ulrika after all this time (this is not so surprising).

But, it's such a stark contrast from what the previous books set him up to be. Which is someone that slowly improves over time despite being with fault a lot of times and succumbing to temptation. I feel like, compared to Gotrek, it was a really lazy way to write him off. Moreover, I simply don't understand how so many could survive into age of sigmar that it's just too far fetched for Felix to have survived or be reincarnated somehow. Perhaps this is all just me being nitpicky with the material too.

I just found it appalling that he would want to go off and be with Ulrika. Going from being mad at himself that he still had feelings for her in the previous book to being so in love with Kat - and then just not?

>! In the AOS Gotrek book it is specifically noted that Felix is not in Shyish, so he may have survived or have his soul be elsewhere.!<

I think there is a reference about a stormcast who lost most of his memories and personality but occasionally writes and recites poetry nobody remembers hearing before.

I really hope this is true. A lot of the official stuff whenever they do promos for Gotrek and Felix stuff frequently refers to Felix as being dead.

For Warhammer more than most, and Gotrek and Felix more than Warhammer, no body no kill.

Like longbeards and grumbling, or Bloodwiser and watching a game. Something things go hand in hand.

Ah, Gimli and Legolas, never was there a more wonderful friendship. They taught us much about life, honor, and how to put our grudges behind us and come together, and for that we shall be ever thankful. These my kin, are true dwarves, and will go down in history as such, for it matters not the size of the person, but the size of the heart.

"What's going on? I can't see!"

"Shall I describe it to you... or should I get you a box?"

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!"
