William King is one of the most prolific authors in the Warhammer fiction universe. He created the Gotrek & Felix series, which became one of the most popular and longest-running Warhammer Fantasy book lines. Starting with Trollslayer in 1999, the series follows a Dwarf Slayer and his human companion through battles across the Old World. King wrote the first several entries before other authors continued the series.
His Warhammer 40,000 work centers on the Space Wolf series, following Ragnar Blackmane of the Space Wolves chapter. He also wrote The Macharian Crusade trilogy and the Tyrion & Teclis series for Warhammer Fantasy. Outside of Games Workshop properties, King has written the Terrach Chronicles, the Kormak the Guardian series about a monster-hunting swordsman, and The Dragonbond Saga. He contributed stories to the Tales From The Magician’s Skull magazine and has appeared in several anthologies. His writing across all these properties is action-driven with a focus on dark humor, particularly in the Gotrek & Felix books.
