Town Cryer excerpt: In Memoriam

We have just received the news that the two brothers leading the Witch hunter warband in the south of our city have both been killed in a cataclysmic battle against greenskins. Lucas Grimm, captain of the band of Templars, got his face burned off by evil chaos acid rain. Apparently the brothers Grimm did not read the previous Town Cryer's magic weather report by Erwin Khorne, specifically warning everyone to bring trollskin umbrella's...
Lucas' brother Matthew, who had lost his right arm in a previous battle, was apparently unable to defend himself and was turned into an orc shish kebab. The brothers had been surprised by the orc invasion into the common neighbourhood and were trying to protect the innocent citizens of this part of Mordheim. After the untimely death of their leaders, however, the Templars were forced to flee. The Town Cryer managed to interview Father Arnold, warrior priest: "The brothers Grimm fought bravely and were always kind to puppies, but still Sigmar chose to take them into his arms. In their honour, our band will henceforth be called The Grimm Martyrs. We will continue their quest to purge Mordheim of all evil, especially those who are mean to kittens." according to the priest.
On the positive side, the Brothers Grimm were avenged shortly after their demise by Father Arnold himself, who managed to take of the head of the Irontusk warboss with his greatsword just before making a tactical retreat. On the negative side, the remaining orcs and goblins are probably taking the loss of their leader out on the remaining citizens in the common quarter where the greenskins now reign supreme...
