White Dwarf October 2019

Another month, and while I wasn`t able to attend this year's Parade Day, I did drop by the store to pick up the newest copy of the magazine.

And as always, I`m doing a flickthrough, marking in bold the articles that intrest me and I`ll be having a look at later on.

As always, it starts with the Editorial, Contact and Reader's Models.

And then we go to the Worlds of Warhammer, Phil Kelly's column that tackles forty facts about AoS this time round.

The Age of Sigmar section itself kicks off with Rules of Engagement, Jervis takes a look at the Luck factor in our games this issue.

Two sets of rules this month, one for AoS and one for 40k, and with the Tome Celestial we kick off with the AoS one: The Host of Syll'Esske, a Slaaneshi demon force.  And of course a joining Paint Splatter.

The Duality of Vengeance is a piece of fiction about Slaanesh followers, tying in nicely with the above.

In Fantastical Realms it is time this month to take a look at the Realm of Heaven, Azyr.

Moving on to the 40k section of the magazine, Echoes of the Warp looks at design goals and philosophies behind mass battle games.

In Engage and Slay, a fiction piece, the Sisters of Silence move into action, because...

... the second big piece of rules is for them this month in Index Imperialis and Paint Splatter.

A Tale of Four Warlords returns with it's Vigilus edition, as the armies continue to grow.

Kill team also gets new rules, as one can now use Vanguard marines from the Shadowspear box in the game.

In Kitbash, Battlefield Modifications takes a look at how to tailor these Vanguard for the skirmish scale game and give them each a unique flavour.

Glory Points takes a look at the newest season of Underworlds, as Beatsgrave has arrived.

More Specialist rules are presented with Big Dakka for Hire, allowing you to use Orks in Blackstone Fortress as a retinue character, as well as a new scenario.

The Golden Demon Winner's Challenge continues with another heap of mindboggling pieces of art.

In the Black Library section, we get a first look at the new Warhammer Horror series, with the short piece Six Doors to Darkness.

This months Battle Report is one for Aeronautica Imperialis, and why the hell did they scale up from 6mm (epic) to the unfitting 8mm scale... I would have bought the kits like badshit crazy had they been the old scale (same for Titanicus btw).

More Imperialis with the Judgement Squadron campaign this month as well.

Necromunda also gets his share, as the Enforcers are attacked in their own headquarters in a newly presented scenario series.

And we round out with the Inside the Studio column.

Not really that interesting for me personally, as none of the new rules apply to a game or force I play myself, but it is not a bad issue in itself, with not only both main systems getting new rules, but a nice palette for the specialist games as well.

And next month, the Inquisition arrives... yup, AGAIN Imperials for 40k *sigh*
