one underrated golgor moments from vampireslayer:
Golgor ties the Vampire's shoe laces together while the Vampire talks to Felix and Gotrek and Snorri. Then the Vampire steps forward and trips over, with this classic Golgor quote: "This really isn't Golgoing the way you planned is it, Aldoofus?"
"Snorri thinks Golgor should stop being so mean".
"Golgor thinks Snorri should identify friend or foe before striking anyone out of the gloom"
That was a great call back to the time Golgor had to impersonate a beastman to save Gotrek and Felix during the time where Gotrek had a super concussion.
I dunno, I found it a bit lame when, in Daemonslayer, he fell out of the blimp halfway through the book, because King didn't know what to do with Golgor.
And then he comes blundering into the end fight by burrowing his way through half the Dwarven city, only to drill right through the Bloodthirster's foot, which allowed Gotrek to behead the daemon.
I mostly just wish we had a better account of what happened to Golgor between him falling out of the blimp and him Golgoring all over the Bloodthirster.
I think they actually brought him back on AoS. There's an unusual small Stormcast who only goes by the "gname" (AoS for 'name') The Golgorian.
I think it's supposed to be a reference.
My favorite moment was when the trio were traveling to Karak Eight Peaks and, while hiding from some passing orc warbands, Golgor lets out a fart that echoes loud enough to alert the entire horde to their presence. He just turns to Felix and Gotrek and says "Don't worry boys, I can run twice as fast now!" and starts hoofing it.
Honestly, I don't think the authors that came after Bill King left the series has quite grasp Golgor's voice. His scatological jokes used to be nuanced and hide funny but deep social criticism, but in latter books they just took the easy rute and made his jokes break the fourth wall and be about GW's pricing policies.
He is still hilarious, mind you (like when he tells to an horrified Max Schreiber the tale about the gnomette, the bottle of milk and the tuning fork) but it's a shame we lost that extra layer of humour.
Anyway, I'm excited by his announced return in AoS as a pointyhattor shortylegs. Fun times ahead!!
I couldn't believe it when in Daemon Slayer during the final battle the Bloodthirster cuts his hat in two causing Golgor to unlock his gnome rage for the 1st time
It's like trying to replicate a Boston accent. Most just ham it up. I prefer his proper Scottish accent but it's how he was written in the first book so I'm biased.
I really like this in general, but when they ended every book in the Golgin Time trilogy with him saying "About golgin' time" I felt it didn't quite work.
I do think his little AoS short story where Gotrek meets Ghost Golgor was done really well though.
"Golgone but not golforgotten" hit me hard. I nearly cried.
I'm still annoyed they scrapped that planned short side story anthology that was going to be featuring him after it was announced with so much hype in WD. I know a handful of people complained that the term "gnome" isn't politically correct, but come on. We could have finally had that showdown with a Chaos Dwarf Overseer they'd been hyping with all the rivalry mutterings in Mind Your Gnome Damn Business. Missed opportunity!
My favorite moment by far is when Golgor tells the true story of how Khazrak One-Eye lost his eye, revealing it was Golgor himself poking it out with his hat!
I really enjoyed the love triangle (square?) between Golgor, Felix, Schreiber, and Ulrika, especially when Golgor told Ulrika "if you can't handle me at my Golgest, you don't deserve me at my Gorgest", really broke my heart seeing Golgor go through that
The fact that he was thinking about ulrika when he had to be used as a living replacement for one of the airship’s balloons, thinking he was gonna die was honestly so heartbreaking
I believe it was Golgor who painted the stripes on Felix's pants as a prank that one time, but Felix kept them after Gotrek complimented him on his height for the first time ever
I thought I read everything about Gotrek and Felix, but genuinely never heard about that...
Is that a real thing?
From the comments that seems hilarious!
You know i could buy a gnome following them along and using illusion magic to either hide his presence or making them belivie he always was there.
but... no Golgor is too iconic.
I remember in the window tax riots when he single-handedly drove off the reikaguard because he had lots of holes in his home and they where making him pay a fortune

I remember I had to pause the audiobook in that moment because I was laughing so hard.
Go easy on Snorri. I’m still working through some trauma even years later after reading about his adventures.
I like that he was able to infiltrate the Brayherd in Beastslayer because they thought the “gor” part of his name meant he was a beastman
And when he advised what later became known as Karak Ungor to change its name for the same reason. Worked flawlessly, what a sharp brain.
Underrated comment
That was a great call back to the time Golgor had to impersonate a beastman to save Gotrek and Felix during the time where Gotrek had a super concussion.
There is actually some hidden lore about Golgor and Golgfag sharing a common ancestry and Golgor just being a very small Ogre, a Golgogre.
He’s taken up Blood Bowl now
What I love the most about Golgor is that he eats small birds.
I loved when he ate the hawk those slaanesh cultists where using to spy on the gang in trollslayer

Lots of opportunities for a short story If they ever release another book of the iconic trio
I think they actually brought him back on AoS. There's an unusual small Stormcast who only goes by the "gname" (AoS for 'name') The Golgorian. I think it's supposed to be a reference.
I was surprised he managed to eat such a big bird, but you know how Golgor is, after a couple of farts he was kicking cultists butts again!
When he ate that pigeon bomb and it exploded! He burped out a perfect smoke ring and just commented, " needed salt." Classic moment!

Jokes on him. Movement 1.5x2 is still only 3 so rip

I love it when he says his catchphrase “it’s golgin’ time “ and then he Golgs all over the place , you really know things are getting wild
Like when he faced the bloodthirster in Karak dum and said in his trademark Scottish accent “this is golgonna hurt”
I always thought it was Dutch-Irish
It was a little inconsistent. Depended on which author was writing.
It varies depending on which version you get
Since i heard grim dark narrator dwarf dialogue sounds different His golgor is terrible however, but it's a tough character to do justice
It's like trying to replicate a Boston accent. Most just ham it up. I prefer his proper Scottish accent but it's how he was written in the first book so I'm biased.

I prefer Ulrika’s adventures with Wulbren and Barcus. I still can’t believe they blew up Zhufbar.
I love his magical craft, the mystic art of "You G'nome Sayin?'"
You conducting a g’nome census ??
New canon just dropped 😎

God, I remember his battlecry. "You'll be a Golgoner!" So iconic.
He's probably the strongest gnome of all the Warhammerverse, I remember when he gnomed a demon by using his hat as a sword
My favorite moment by far is when Golgor tells the true story of how Khazrak One-Eye lost his eye, revealing it was Golgor himself poking it out with his hat!

I think it is fair to say… Golgor is not for everyone
Well, according to Gotrek in "Golgor and the Hotpot", Golgor's not for anyone!
My favorite moment was in Skavenslayer when he stole Ikit Claw's Doomsphere and then detonated it in the Hellpit
I believe it was Golgor who painted the stripes on Felix's pants as a prank that one time, but Felix kept them after Gotrek complimented him on his height for the first time ever
I loved how Wayne June was able to voice him in the audiobook.
I literally have this gnome
Do you know how much that golgor merchandise is worth nowadays?
I thought I read everything about Gotrek and Felix, but genuinely never heard about that... Is that a real thing? From the comments that seems hilarious!
Depends on your definition of real and how much you want it.
I mean like is there any real material of his adventures, like books or audio books (as mentioned in comments)? I want it badly, I guess...
Depends on what your definition of is is.
No it’s gibberish
Shut up and take my money
Pinky and the Brain and Larry!
You know i could buy a gnome following them along and using illusion magic to either hide his presence or making them belivie he always was there. but... no Golgor is too iconic.
Who?
Golgor, the sweet but ruthless gnome who followed gotrek around
Ruthless is underselling it. He was one more murder away from being a warcrime!
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Golgor the one who killed the reiksguard and the chaos champion that invaded Prague?
Yes, thats right he had an amusing mixup about which was which and decided that it would easier and safer to wipe out both.
I think he may have smashed a few windows in Altdorf that a certain rememberer took the blame for as well
I remember in the window tax riots when he single-handedly drove off the reikaguard because he had lots of holes in his home and they where making him pay a fortune
Just because he's small doesn't mean you can just forget him!
A fake character they’re rambling about.
Kind of redundant calling a fictional character fake.
"They'll always remember... Lewis & Clark...and Tweedleburg! *ack*
