Town
Cryer 19 has been in the shops for a little while now. Your
scribe has been duly flogged by the Server Goddess to get up
to date. So what do we have in this issue?
FRONT COVER
Bring Out Your Dead. A spooky graveyard photo hints at the theme
for the lead article inside. More on that below.
Inside the front cover we have more undead rampaging
through Mordheim. One picture is new whilst the other looks
straight out of the rulebook. A bit of a waste since almost
all readers will already have it.
EDITORIAL
Steve doesn't have a lot new to say this time. He does promise
a feature on Sisters of Sigmar to come.
THE STORYTELLER
Jason Kahler gives us some guidance on running a Mordheim campaign.
He relates his experiences in Rider's Hobby Store fighting for
the 'Gilded Poisson' trophy. A lot of people are looking for
this sort of help running their own campaigns so it should go
down very well. He also includes two new scenarios - Night in
the Graveyard (hence the front cover) and Bar Room Brawl. The
object of the graveyard scenario is to loot a mausoleum whilst
being harassed by zombies. It sounds like a fun and frantic
game. The Bar Room Brawl takes place in the Lucky Griffon Inn.
Glasses and furniture are available for bashing your drinking
partners. There was a similar game for Orks in White Dwarf a
couple of years ago. Scenery could be a problem but you are
not going to play this one too often so just improvise.
LETTERS
Just two lengthy letters this time. One addresses
the diminished proportions of Town Cryer (a subject close to
my heart) and the other covers several subjects including Kislevites,
whips and charge reactions.
KHEMRI - LAND OF THE DEAD PART 4
The setting is progressing steadily. This instalment
brings you the Exploration chart, several scenarios and Hired
Swords. I must note a personal triumph here as the Snake Charmer
was the first Hired Sword I wrote way back.
THE WATCHTOWER
The latest listing of the status of past articles.
It has been suggested that this feature is relegated to alternate
issues. Whilst an important resource for campaign organisers
it does get very repetitious.
MORDHEIM CATALOGUE
A listing of the current models available for
Mordheim. The same comment applies here as with the Watchtower.
BACK COVER
More pictures of the Studio Khemri army. This
time Witch Hunters try their luck against the ancient ones.
The back cover has the more small ads. I suspect
that some readers buy the magazine for these alone.
We were promised the Araby Nomad warband in this
issue but it has been relegated to TC #15. More in the next
review.
