White Dwarf Issue 495

The blast doors of the world’s biggest Warhammer club open once more, and bring the second round of the Slidecrown Sundering campaign to a close with three new narrative battleplans, as well as challenging you to paint your Gods and Monsters, analysing the Charge phase in Age of Sigmar, and introducing jungle warfare rules for Kill Team. All that is on top of a hobby hangout and two new battleplans for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Those who are enthralled by the grotesque adaptations of the Tyranids are in for a treat as a huge designer’s notes feature goes into depth on the history of the hive fleets and what went into the creation of the new miniatures.

Warhammer 40,000 is the focus of this month’s Tale of Four Warlords instalment, and there’s a new mission for Boarding Actions which has players battling over a ship with an active and punishing defence system. 

For fans of gorgeous miniatures, there are several features to get excited about. You can weep over a beautiful army of Lamenters Space Marines, marvel at a heavily converted Necromunda gang, and get a closer look at the detailed dioramas of Rodrigo Lucas Frías.

There are also quests for Cities of Sigmar in Warcry – which tie into their revamped Warcry rules which you can download here. 

You can then read about sorcery in the Mortal Realms and humanity’s technological scepticism in the far future of the 41st Millennium, and wash it all down with a Black Library tale about a fantastic Carnevale coming to the Aqshian city of Eldfell by Alexander Dan Vilhjalmsson.
