Det roligaste och förmodligen bästa sättet att få en känsla för den tidens Warhammer och The Old World borde vara att läsa de gamla romanerna och novellsamlingarna som släpptes av Games Workshop Books runt slutet av åttiotalet och början av nittiotalet. De jag kan komma på är:
Tales of Orfeo av Brian Craig (pseudonym för Brian Stableford):
Zaragoz
Plague Daemon
Storm Warriors
Brian Craigs Wine of Dreams är också riktigt bra och är skriven i samma anda som de äldre böckerna, även om den är utgiven av Black Library.
Geneviève-böckerna av Jack Yeovil (pseudonym för Kim Newman):
Drachenfels
Geneviève Undead (novellsamling)
Beasts in Velvet
Silver Nails (släppt senare men samlar äldre material)
Novellsamlingar:
Ignorant Armies
Wolf Riders
Red Thirst
Konrad-trilogin av David Ferring:
Konrad
Shadowbreed
Warblade
Det här är ett ultra bra förslag!!! Jag vill lägga till de första Felix and Gotrek böckerna till listan (de senare är lite sämre men de första är guld!) så:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotrek_and_Felix
Gotrek Gurnisson is the greatest (or worst, depending on the viewpoint) Dwarven Slayer ever to have lived. This apparent contradiction is rooted in the nature of the Slayer Oath. Having committed a crime so terrible that only death in battle will serve as atonement, Gotrek has fought and slain numerous monsters, including hordes of orcs and Skaven, a giant, trolls, Chaos warlords and sorcerers, an entire Black Ark of Naggaroth and even a Bloodthirster of Khorne, and unfortunately (in his mind) lived to fight another day. His inability to find the heroic end he seeks begins to take its toll after a time.
Felix Jaeger is Gotrek's reluctant companion and "Rememberer." The black sheep of a rich Imperial mercantile family, he was initially a poet but was expelled from university after accidentally killing a student in a duel. After Gotrek saved Felix from being killed in the Window Tax Riots in Altdorf, Felix, in a drunken stupor, swore a blood-oath to record Gotrek's doom so that his honor could be maintained and to let him be remembered by the world. A blood-oath was the gravest one a dwarf could make (even for a society obsessed with the sanctity of oaths), and so Felix was compelled to travel with Gotrek. A major theme in the novels is the tension within Felix between his desire to settle down in peace and comfort, away from the danger of being Gotrek's companion, and his longing to escape the banalities of civilized Imperial society for a life of heroism and adventure, and it is this conflict that shaped much of his relationship with Gotrek and his family.
