White Dwarf 485

 

 Time to have another look at an issue of the Games Workshop in home magazine, White Dwarf.

 

At the beginning of the year, at the Aalst Underworlds tournament, I obtained a nice stack of older magazines for nought, and been flicking through them on and off.

 

Now, let's have a look through it after reading them, and have some opinions.  I do say, I am not into the whole 40k universe thing for years, so those won't be getting to much attention on my part for the reading, but the things that caught my intrest I read of course. 

 

A Khorne Berzerker graces the cover, as they star in a battle report to liberate Kharn himself.   

 

And so we first kick of with the community articles as usual, before World of Warhammer tells about setting scenery in your games.

 

And then we go to the Mortal Realms at first, with Flashpoint Rondhol and more rules for this campaign.  We then get a look at Gods and Monsters in a showcase.  Rules of Engagement takes a look at playing two player campaigns and the charms this brings along, before we get a fun article of Warcry to bring Gloomspite Gitz to the system, including Bladeborn rules for Grinkrank's Looncourt from Underworlds into the fold and with all their needed cards included.  Glory Points look at the formats in Underworlds (well, still the first edition back then), as we get then a look at a Tale of 4 Warlords over the years. 

Moving on to the 40k setting, more material is included for the Arks of Omen setting and the Herald of Misery flashpoint as such.  This includes a big lot of scenario's, and thoughts on playing Boarding Patrol games.  This leads to the battle report from the cover as Imperial forces try to hold off the crazed followers of Khorne.  The magazine also includes the first part of a new Necromunda campaign, the Aranthian Succession, together with a painting gallery of the models in the range.

 

So no, not really a magazine down my alley, even though the Warcry stuff was fun, but not my army that I'm playing.
