Notes
Several short stories had appeared long before the publication of Trollslayer which collected them, joined them together with new stories, and presented them all in a chronological order.
- Geheimnisnacht appeared in the anthology Ignorant Armies.
- Wolf Riders appeared in the anthology Wolf Riders.
- The Dark Beneath The World appeared in the anthology Red Thirst.
- The Two Crowns of Ras Karim, a special short story was available to attendees of Games Day UK 2006. Written by Nathan Long, it was to tie in with the release of Orcslayer and the authors appearance at the event.
The first six novels were re-printed with new covers and many of the novels have been translated into several languages.
Citadel Miniatures
Games Workshop has created three sets of miniatures of the two heroes. The latest is a diorama, and includes Snorri Nosebiter, Maximilian Schreiber, and Ulrika.
