The top story of our paper is the horrifying rumors that have been bursting out of Hive Bottom these past few days. It seems that the scavvies are once more rearing their deformed heads and threatening the safety of all who obey law and order. Under the command of a skilled Boss called Daggoth a skilled group of scavvies blockaded a Guilder trade route. Then when a coalition of gangs went in, most notably a new Van Saar gang, they were beaten back by the scavvies and their De admen allies. The only consolation was the capture of a mutant named Mongoose, the Guilders were planning on putting him on trial when once more Daggoth appeared, armed to the teeth and brining friends! A mighty firefight ensued. Daggoth cared not one whi t for any nearby aid the Guilders called upon and seemed to enjoy blasting any newcomers down before they could even help! Daggoth not only freed his man but captured Hern Heraticsmasher of the Heraticsmasher gang, we suspect the mighty gang leader to have already been eaten and his custom boltgun now in the hands of scavvies! Rumor on the street is now Daggoth is planning to execute The Berserk Barbarians, a goliath gang that attacked his caravan blockade and was responsible for the capture of Mongoose. All we can say is they better watch their backs! On the other hand the famous Delaque bounty hunter, Snake, is planning to recruit a gang and go out hunting Daggoth to collect his huge bounty. Good Luck Snake! After the battle a intrepid Interhive reporter went in search of Daggoth, Petoir Jen-engs then conducted his interview, we have it on auto-recorder.
Petoir:"click" Okay now you are DagoaaaAAAAAHHHHhhhh!! YOU RIPPED OFF MY ARM!!!!!!!
Daggoth: Sorry but Mr. Bigglesworth forgets how weak humans are
Petoir: Quick get me some bandages.......Something!
Daggoth: But first you must interview me!
Petoir:............Any...(gasp)..............thing just..............help me!
Daggoth: First I want to send a message ta all scavvies! Unite to Me!!
Petoir: Uhhh Ahhh, I'm beginning to lose a...... lot of........blood!
Daggoth: Join me and we will crush! The Guilders Mwua-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!
Petoir:...............help................
Daggoth: You can quote me on the Mwua-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!
Petoir:................................
The rest of the tape is filled with an argument of who ordered the rat burger with extra worms. We would also like to reassure readers that Petoir has been fitted with a bionic arm and plans to continue his career here in investigative journalism.

Don't underestimate Stub pistols! (from. Stubber Orman)
And finally don't worry much about buying close combat weapons, it's rare in your first battle ta ever get dat close to da enemy.
Next issue Warmonger plans to discuss the tactics of pistols and shotguns!
My name is Hedrar Dral and I am a Guilder. It is to be my boring duty to tell you peons what opportunities we have been kind enough to offer you as of this writing. Our most urgent and profitable offer concerns the scavy Daggoth and his gang. As of today their bounty is officially Tripled! We want them and we want them Now! Think of the opportunity and money to be had. A base scavy with a blunderbuss (a cheap weapon) that was once worth 31 credits would now be worth 93 credits! Even more important is the mutant called Ettin, he is without a doubt responsible for the murder of a unarmed Guilder that was actually trying to help a captured scavvy through our legal system. Because of the depravity of this act we offer a quadruple bounty on the mutant Ettin. Also there is a gang of Deadmen-worshippers of some deranged death god- who because of aiding the scavvies are now worth double their bounty! Finally because of the increased level of outlaws in the area we are always interested in any gangs seeking employment as caravan guards. So any interested bounty hunters or tough gangs should inquire at your local Guilder station. Remember- We get rich for You!
The Bar With No Name is a collecting pool where no fights are allowed, that would set the place on fire, and no hard liquor is served, unless you ask. But there are always some tough gangers who have lost their gang and are seeking employment with a leader with the money to hire them and the will to keep his gang going. The top choice at the moment is Old Yellow a rough and tough Orlock ganger who has actually fought and lived through TWO separate battles with The Warmongers! A known gang champion, he is a skilled gunfighter and enjoys using his two laspistols to cut your enemies apart. His current fee is 166 credits and he is willing to work for any gang except Goliath and Escher, Orlock gangs are of course preferred
The Shot of The Week AwardThe shot of the week award this time is a tie! Our two winners are Slaya of Khaines Inquisitors, and Ettin of Daggoth's scavvy horde. Slaya was in his concealed position for the start of a battle. Glancing ahead he saw that another heavily concealed enemy was, amazingly, totally in the open through an impressive array of buildings and doorways! He lowered his autogun and in one shot took down the foolish Van Saar. Grifter's shot was more destructive than impressive. As the first of two Delaques charging up a ladder towards him came into view Grifter shot at him with his old autogun, and was able to hit! Though he caused only a flesh wound it made the Delaque lose his grip and fall down two stories, hitting his friend on the way down! The second Delaque suffered serious wounds and finally died because of them. The first Delaque has suffered many injuries and was forced to retire from his gang, quite a shot eh?
From The Mad Dog Soldiers: Cawdor Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From The Warmongers: We would love ta beat any scavvies wit enough balls! To come and face us!
From Khaines Inquisitors: Worship Khaine, meet iteresting people, and sacrafice them.
