  • The first four numbers (issues?) of the new White Dwarf miniature come with a gift. The first mini will come with the September, and will be worth around 20 €. The price of the magazine is 8 € .
  • It is almost as thick as the General Manual Age of Sigmar. Including the magazine in its 156 pages :
  • Reports of extensive battle.
  • Painting guides and reports of ‘Eavy Metal.
  • How Citadel miniatures are made. Possibly the first report of this kind will focus on Nagash.
  • Articles and background to campaigns or thematic headings.
  • More warscrolls.
  • No advertising or commercial developments: these will be announced weekly through social networks.
