It’s that time again – we’re jumping into another issue of White Dwarf magazine. Issue 470 is on its way, and on the cover is a fancy-dan Freeguild General from the Cities of Sigmar.
November’s issue is packed with new rules, in-depth lore coverage, interviews with studio staff, incredible miniatures, and plenty more.
As it’s the run-up to the Festive season, there are some free gifts with this issue – cards for Adeptus Titanicus, Aeronautica Imperialis, Blood Bowl, and Necromunda – all themed around gifts and having a good time.* Plus, more Tome Keepers transfers – soon you’ll have enough for an entire chapter – as well as Warhammer Christmas cards, and a lovely piece of Speed Freeks art.
Not forgetting, of course, the magazine itself – let’s see those contents in more detail.
Tome Celestial: Cities of Sigmar
Front and centre in this issue’s Tome Celestial are the many and varied Cities of Sigmar. As with previous entries, you’ll get a blast of lore to catch you up on the faction’s place in the setting, plus piping hot new rules for Matched Play, Open Play, and Path to Glory Narrative play.
Expect Mount Traits for your Griffons and Black Dragons, a Grand Strategy, new Battle Tactics, plus a whole mini-campaign set in the hostile and mist-ridden environment of Ulgu.
Flashpoint Octarius: Speed Freeks
Over in Octarius, convoys of raucous, promethium-head Greenskins have raided the sector’s stocks of red paint and daubed their vehicles in go-faster colours, creating the fastest Speed Freeks Waaagh! Ever.
This bumper investigation into everyone’s favourite high-octane boyz contains a new Theatre of War, datasheets for unique HQ units, and a Road Wars Strike Force mission. There’s also an entire section dedicated to the process of building and painting your Speed Waaagh!
Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game
For fans of the Fellowship of the Ring, there’s a vast section dedicated to the Quest of the Ring Bearer. It contains three battle reports leading up to the Fellowship’s split after Amon Hen, plus a whole host of scenery and painting tutorials.
And All the Rest
This isn’t even half of it. This issue also contains a comprehensive overview of the major events of the Horus Heresy, and features by designers and playtesters for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Adeptus Titanicus, and Warhammer Underworlds. Plus there’s a brand new Black Library short story from Guy Haley featuring the soon-to-be famous vagabond Drekki Flynt, and more!
You won’t want to miss out on this White Dwarf, or any future instalments for that matter, so don’t forget to grab an annual subscription over on Games-workshop.com – then you never have to worry about forgetting to pick up an issue.
* Imperial gifts are mostly payloads of explosive death delivered to heretics and xenos – who should quite frankly be thankful that they’re getting even that.
