High King denies assasination attempt!

In his first public appearance since his unfortunate bout of Kruti, Thorgrim Grudgebearer squashed rumours of an attempt on his life. In a prepared statement he said "Some wazzock forgot to pickle my meat! Now get lost Short Beard!" The Dwarf responsible for the oversight has become a Slayer and wandered off to the Badlands, no forwarding address was left. Several Skaven have tried to claim the ploy of the poisoned meat, all to be denied by the official Dwarf Press Bureau.

The Rats on the run..?

Rumours abound of internal strife within the Skaven. The reason is of yet unknown. Our intrepid reporter was discovered before releasing his homing pigeon with the information enclosed, we will endeavour to find out what is going on and bring it straight to you. In other Skaven related news, several armies are said to be closing in on Skavenblight itself. One is said to be led by Kragg the Grim, now what could he be wanting from Skavenblight?? The mystery continues..

Revolutionary new hops bred!

Waldorf Youngbeard, Chief Agriculture specialist to King Thorgrim Janeksen of Karak Hirn, today announced that the Agriculture department had successfully cross bred a new kind of super hop for use in our respected "Headcracker"(TM) range of ale. Early test samples were said to give 440%ABV and a rich creamy head. King Janeksen, when asked for comment on this development in brewing, started a drunken rendition of "10 Orc Heads sitting on a wall" the popular Dwarf boating song, this reporter was hastened from the King's chambers by his guards at that point... a thumbs up from the King then..

Sporting News..

In the Inter-Hold Bloodbowl Cup Final between the Kazad Grund Grinders and the Ekrund Runts contorversy reigned. It was discovered after the match that the Runt's half time beer cart had been substituted for one containing a non alcholic ale named Caliber. This resulted in a severe lack of coordination in the second half by the Runts who lacked their normal post beer fluidity. The Grinders, who ran out 6-2 winners, have so far denied any knowledge of the incident and have been provisionally awarded the trophy pending an inquiry.
