Checkout more of what’s on the way next week in the form of the new monthly White Dwarf, magazine and an incredible array of new content for existing games!

This image was spotted across the internet late Wednesday evening which seems to indicate a ton of new content is on the way for some of our favorite games!

And Games Workshop is showing off more previews of the new monthly Magazine on their Facebook page:

So, time for another look at the soon-to-be-here first issue of the new monthly White Dwarf… and it’s another old favourite for you all. Witness, the return of A Tale of Four Warlords! And just think, this is only one of the great new features we’ve got for you. Surely you’re excited by now, right?

So, less than two weeks until the new White Dwarf is here! We’ve heard a lot of suggestions on what you want to see in the new magazine and perhaps the most requested feature has been… battle reports. Well, here’s a sneak peek of a little something we think you’ll rather like… Excited?

And if you think that layout looks familiar, compare it to the Collecting Age of Sigmar magazine that came out back in July:

I’ve read a lot of hobby publications in my day, and I have NEVER been as blown away by one as I have with this new Getting Started guide to the Age of Sigmar!

This magazine is packed with tons of full bleed vivid images, page overlay spreads, multi page immersive battle reports, and almost 20 pages of hobby how-tos.

Plus they have re-worked the AoS rules into a more digestible format over more than just the standard 4 pages as well.

After reading this very engrossing supplement for the game, I surely hope this is also a “pilot” for what will be the format of the new monthly White Dwarf in September.

  • 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.
