Was trawling through some Town Cryer issues (a Citadel magazine devoted to Mordheim, published from 1999-2003) and found this gem in the fluff bits on the last page of Issue 3.

What an amazing and topical obituary...

**Togusa**

Holy gak.

That is amazing!

**Adeptus Doritos**

I chuckled.

But be careful, you'll get some groans. He's probably got friends.

**Ouze**

Wow, prescient!

**Not Online!!!**

Well, that ain't creepy

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

That’s.....curiously prophetic!

Spesh the, ahem, ‘Royal Visit’ bit..

Also von carsteins are pretty much fitting charachters for that

**Eldarain**

Praise be to Tzeentch

**VBS**

Whoever wrote that knows something...

Town Cryer were very cool.

**ZergSmasher**

But did the magical scrying orbs in the dungeon mysteriously stop working?

**Ouze**

I assume all the Bretonnian Gaolers were sound asleep.

Nothing strange about accidently stabbing yourself 27 times in the back. it happens all the time. Nothing to see.

Obviously one of those wacky Slaanesh worshipers with their silly tentacles and pain obsession

**Da Boss**

Hahaha, amazing. I loved all that Mordheim stuff. Best Fantasy game for flavour and background.

**Ratius**

Haha great stuff.

**NinthMusketeer**

That's hysterical

**Desubot**

Thats tragically hilarious.

**Excommunicatus**

What are the chances of that name and those circumstances being put together way before an event.

it has to be some sort of lottery chances.

**Valkyrie**

This surely can't be real? Anyone by chance have the original magazine?

**Ratius**

The OP does.....

**ikeulhu**

Wow, Tzeentch really is always watching!

I actually don't, I saw this in a digital copy. I have all the Town Cryers downloaded as PDFs, and I checked out another copy online just to make sure it was legit.

If anyone has an original print, I'd love to see it.

Edit: Town Cryer 3 was printed in White Dwarf 240. Just checked an online copy of that, it's still in it. If anyone has a copy of White Dwarf 240, it should be in there.

Physical copy checks out. Either that or the conspiracy goes real deep and they’ve messed with my shelves.

"Authorities found that when Epstein tragically stabbed himself in the kidneys 7 times, what he used was not an ordinary prison shiv but in fact a high-quality Citadel Fine Detail Brush, sharpened to a point. Furthermore the substance with which Epstein wrote "Two thin coats" on his own ass after stabbing himself was found to not be blood, but Citadel "Blood for the blood god" paint from the Citadel Technical range.

Experts suggest that the use of these tools provides further evidence that the embattled billionaire killed himself, as no ordinary criminal could have afforded such expensive tools. When questioned about why their tools may have been involved and why their resident painting tutorial expert Duncan Rhodes had to quote "go off the grid for a while", representatives from Games Workshop corporation had no comment."
