White Dwarf 480

 

 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. 

 

Now, this edition looks very promising, as the cover says it's all about skirmish games: Warcry and Kill Team, the former picking my intrest!

 

So after the usual community stuff and an article about the fact if there are uberhaubt good guys in 40k, we dive in at first with the 40k setting articles.  The first is for Flashpoint Nephilim, bringing the Rising Tomb campaign for bringing the battles to dormant Necron cities.  Kill Team engage kicks off a series of five players and their journey into the 40k skirmish games.  More Kill Team is included with articles about scenario's and how to assemble your operatives teams, including a paint guide.

 

And then we move to the Mortal Realms, with Flashpoint Clash as the Stormcasts take on the Orruk Warclans.  Flashpoint Rondhol also begins as a Waagh is setting out, bringing background material.  Rules of Engagement looks into the pitched battle general versus casual commander state of a player.  We then dive into the Gnarlwood as we come to the Warcry articles, and what can be expected. A big painting gallery of Underworlds warbands is also in this magazine, before we get painting tips on Teclis himself.  

The battle report this issue is for Horus Heresy, as a colossal battle between the Dark Angels and the Death Guard is shown, as well as some Black Library material featuring none other then the White Dwarf himself.

 

Surely an intresting issue, and I loved the Warcry and Underworlds contents in this one.
