Brian Blessed To Be The Voice Of Gotrek In Realmslayer
May 14, 2018 by brennon
Some of the keen followers of Games Workshop news will know that Gotrek Gurnisson is alive and kicking. Stepping into the Mortal Realms of Age Of Sigmar, he will be looking to find out what has happened to the World That Was, where his friend Felix has ended up, and much more besides. Oh, and he's being voiced by Brian Blessed...
You can listen to a sample of Brian's booming voice over on the blog from the weekend HERE. It's going to be fun seeing who Gotrek will seek out first once he gets his hands back on his axe!
Will you be listening to this when it gets released by Black Library?

Yay I love that man should be brilliant Brian playing the slayer.
Doesn’t really click for me; Brian Blessed is just too jolly to be Gotrek in my opinion. Now Snorri Nosebiter on the other hand… 😉
GOTREK’S ALIIIIIVE?!
Brian Blessed is legendary in how over the top he can be so I can totally see him to be good choice to voice Gotrek.
This is the greatest news there has ever been. This alone sells me.
Not convinced by the casting, Brian is great but doesn’t match my image, someone more laconic would fit. It is a crowd pleaser though.
Personally I won’t cause all attempts at recent g&f books have been shallow reflections, and aos books I have sampled are terrible.
Now if he has lost his axe is he using his trusty fruit knfe
I don’t even know what this cover is supposed to show… x_x
…and that excerpt sounds horribly forced to me.
Still, good they bring back a bit of the good old spirit. Hope they don’t butcher that.
I’ve only read some of the really early Gotrex and Felix novels, but Brian Blessed didn’t work for me. Too much like Brian Blessed and not enough like a character. Like an actor having fun with an adoring audience at the expense of the play and the rest of the cast.
