Brian Blessed says that playing Gotrek Gurnisson in Warhammer is 'six and a half times more demanding' than King Lear

Gotrek and Felix beneath a purple sky.

Brian Blessed is a national treasure. From attempting to climb Mount Everest multiple times without oxygen, to being the oldest man to trek to the Magnetic North Pole on foot, to that episode of Have I Got News For You where he eroded Ian Hislop's will to live, the man is a veritable force of nature. He also happened to voice Gotrek Gurnisson, the most famous dwarf slayer in Warhammer Fantasy.

It's a role he played in two separate audio productions, Realmslayer and Realmslayer: Blood of the Old World, both of which recount the undying dwarf's adventures in Age of Sigmar after The End Times. He also reprised the role in Total War: Warhammer, where he was added as a free character alongside his erstwhile companion and "rememberer", Felix Jaeger.
