Town Cryer 5

Reading the index of the town cryer's articles I found that in the issue n°5 there is an article about the middenheim berserker and the vampire necromancer and I'm very interested in it, but the n°5 is almost the only issue that is unable to download.
Someone have it or have some information about this two "characters"?

No just multiplayer scenarios as per the annual and a battle report in No 5, to create a middenheim berserker just strip one of your heroes of armor and give them mad cap mushrooms, to make a vampire necromancer give your vampire books of the dead or the skill embrace

Can't locate my Town Cryers at the moment, but I do remember a line in the introductory piece for one of the ealry issues - written by Tuomas P. himself - about the Middenheim berserker. Basically, it was just allowing one of your champions to have frenzy when the warband was created. That would be a mixed blessing I would have thought.

Big delusion... how can a player have a vampire necromancer when the book of the dead cost 200+d6x25 gold crowns?! More than 300 pt of item when in the letters of the damned the necrarc vampire. for the same cost of a normal vampire, lose 1 in BS and WS and is a necromancer!

Where I can find the skill embrace?

Yes, its in TC5, Ye Editor Speaks that Tuomas suggests that Middenheimers be allowed the berserker and that a vampire that obtains an Tome of Magic and the Arcane Lore skill be allowed to learn Necromantic Magic instead of Lesser Magic. Not a starting unit or anything, a change to the progression of a vampire.

vampire skills for embrace watch out its slightly OP but after a few hundred games any warband becomes obscene

But this embrace skill is non an official skill... in that site i found a lot of overpowered/stupid rules

No it is not an official skill. You just asked where it could be found. The rulebook and errata on the Games Workshop site covers the official rules. Everything else is negotiable.
