All good things must come to an end. There are no more books about you, Mathias, so needless to say I will sorely miss your self-righteous, pontifical, arrogant, super zealous, Sigmar-ass-licking self.You were a real pain in my ass for good 400+ pages or so of the 760 pages the omnibus contains; but you grew on me. I learned to like you.So long, Mathias. You've been a very annoying, yet entertaining treat.

Borrowed from C.R. It didn't really end and I didn't really like

I generally like Werner's writing but did he have to wait till the last book in this omnibus to get to characterization? lol. The book starts off with some solid short stories and then the three novels. I was kind of hoping for more than an ABC plot but oh, well, it passed the time. I think Werner is better at straight forward action writing than trying to do intrigue. It's a fun read that demands a sequel.

My first Warhammer novel, and a really Good one at that! I got into Warhammer fantasy through the total war games and I dont regret one bit buying this book.Sometimes makes you think what's good or what's evil, or what is evil for good.

One of the better Warhammer books I've read. Has Sherlock Holmes vibes. Mathias is a morally grey character who seems blinded by his desire to purify the land of evil no matter who he has to torture to do so. He also screws up from time to time and finds himself questioning his blind persuit of jusitce. Enjoyable read.

Not only is this trilogy the best to come from the Warhammer Fantasy saga, it is easily in the top two or three series ever published by the Black Library in general. It really is that dang good. Matthias Thulmann is a Templar of Sigmar, better known as a Witch Hunter (think Spanish Inquisition, but far more lethal, and fights daemons, vampires and other undead, practitioners of black arts and occult magic, necromancers, and occasionally arch heretics). Throughout the course of the omnibus, the

This is definitely one of the better Warhammer novels and I'd put Werner on a par with William King. Werner's style is suited perfectly to the Warhammer style of writing - there was lots of fighting/brawling, a range of viewpoints, multiple storylines happening at once and a plot that was always interesting. And Matthias and Streng are as great a double-act as Gotrek and Felix. Streng in particular was wonderfully obnoxious and vulgar.Werner mentions in his introduction that the character of Mat...

This is an omnibus of three books Witch Hunter, Witch Finder, and Witch Killer. It deals with Matthias Thulmann a member of the Order of the Templars of Sigmar also known as the Witch Hunters. The Witch Hunters are feared by all, for everyone has something or someone to hide. They seek out and destroy heretics by fire be they; warlocks, witches, sorcerers, fortune-tellers, necromancers, worshippers of dark gods, deviants, mutants, blasphemers, sinners, mutterers of profanities, servants of Demon...

OK, let's deal with the elephant in the room first of all. His name is MATHIAS, not Matthias. One T, not two. (I know, I know -- the cover photo. But that's how his name appears on every page of my copy of the book. And, in fact, on my copy's cover.)With that behind us ...This is an omnibus edition of three short stories and three novels about (surprise!) Mathias Thulmann, a Witch Hunter in the world of Warhammer, a setting (very) loosely based on medieval/Renaissance-era Europe. The action of t...

If you are looking to scratch that Warhammer Witch Hunter (or Inquisitor) itch, then this book is for you. While C.L. Werner doesn't spin a tale like Dan Abnett does in this theme of the Warhammer universes (mankind's zealot defenders against corruption in all forms), his work is still fitting for the mood and the story. I think I actually found Mathias Thulmann's tales to be more disturbing. This collection of Witch Hunter Thulmann's stories includes the three main books (Witch Hunter, Witch Fi...

Matthias Thulmann could be taken out of the Witch Finder General movie with Vincent Price. His description certainly matches that of Price's Matthew Hopkins, and his often cruel mercenary sidekick Streng is a Warhammer version of Hopkin's sidekick Stearne. Werner, the author, is a big Robert E. Howard fan and in many ways he is also emulating Solomon Kane, a zealous Christian puritan swordsman hero, with his Thulmann stories. He has another character, Brunner, who sounds an awful lot like Robert...

Like many Warhammer books, it borrows ideas from other books and adapts it (just check others review. I rated it a generous four (edited to three) stars because I enjoyed reading it even if it wasn't a great book. The omnibus starts with two really good short stories with the Witch Hunter on small case. The three novel after that have many up and down. A good parallel could be a TV shows like Supernatural. You got many plots that lead you to a big final but you always have a few episodes that ar...

The first warhammer book that I read and didn't really like that much. It had its entertaining moments but they were few and far between. The first three short storys were rather good but the novels were a bit of a let down. I think the reason I didn't really enjoy this one was because I didn't really like Werner's writing style, especially in the second book where he was juggling more than a few plot lines, half of which were overlong and uneccesary. Despite all that I'd still read the sequel i...

Mathias Thulmann: Witch Hunter is a collection of three short stories and three longer novels, depicting the chronicles of the titular character; Mathias Thulmann. Set in the captivating world of Warhammer Fantasy – a setting that has been axed since the initial publication of these books and is currently awaiting rebirth – which is a rehash of various historical cultures that clash with one another in grim and gothic ways.The central character, Mathias Thulmann is a Witch Hunter, a zealously pi...

Loved it! Wonderfully dark, brooding and gloomy. Full of action, great characters, wonderful villains. Fully recommended for gothic lovers and Ravelnoft fans. Mathias is Ravenor of the Old World.

I picked up this book with an interest in the world of warhammer, assuming it would be some light reading. I didnt expect it to be as deep and thoughtful as other writing. Even still I was pretty disappointed. Book 1 of 3 kept to par of my expectations. Interesting action with a quick pace. Book 2 is where my major complaints lie. The one interesting thing the original book had, is removed in the sequel. Unfortunately, nothing of value is put in that empty space. You get a longer look at the mai...

The pacing was generally quick and the stories varied and interesting, it can just be a slog to get through an omnibus this long.

Witch HunterDidn’t think I would like a war hammer book focused on just one character. Again, this book didn’t disappoint. Amazing read and very thrilling throughout.

The three books in this omnibus are very uneven. The first book is very strange with its different parts. The first part is some sort of introduction which in the end, after a very strangely told battle, leaves a thread hanging which is never picked up again. Ever. The second part is written so that it sounds like a bunch of young teenagers power gaming a Warhammer Fantasy RPG. Then the third part is something completely different with a good, gory detective story and a somewhat unexpected endin...
