White Dwarf Oktober 2018

Oktober, or Orktober as it is called in all the Warhammer community, is upon us, and as such past friday the new White Dwarf was released.

Surely, this means an issue packed full of Greenskins right?  With that new Speed Freaks game et all underway?

Other "big" releases this month are the Shadespire: Nightvault expansion, a new Eldar vs Ultramarines box and the army book for Beasts of Chaos.

So let`s have a look at what is in the magazine this month...

So, an issue that leaves me with very mixed feelings.  While it has some decent articles, nothing this month really caught my attention or had a certain "waw-ness" to it.  Perhaps the Kill team battle report is the best read on first sight.

And for Orktober, there wasn`t a single ork in that issue...
