It's almost October, and that means just one thing at the Warhammer Studio – it's time to think about Orks, Orruks, and Orcs. Issue 505 of White Dwarf is devoted to all things brutal and kunnin' – and full of features for fans of these fungal thugs.
The centrepiece attraction is a massive mega battle report, with a brand new mission: Squig Rustlin'. The hook is simple: two warring clans of Orks are fighting over a delicious horde of bounding Squigs. Whoever gets the most Squig meat by the end of the game wins – with bonus points if you duff up an enemy warboss. Six players from the Warhammer Studio take part in this rambunctious roundup, and mission rules are included so you can play it at home.
We get a look at Jack Masters' Da Great Waaagh!, a mighty 6,500-point collection amassed over many years, and featuring two amazing looted Imperial Knights – Da Gorkaknights. It's an amazing thing to behold and a true inspiration for fans of all things mean and green.
Elsewhere there's a bundle of new Hymns of Battle Crusade rules for your Adepta Sororitas which can be used as standalone rules, or in combination with the existing rules in their Codex, and they're accompanied by details of what the Order of the Argent Shroud are up to in the Chalnath Expanse.
In the Mortal Realms, Flashpoint Moulderhunt finishes in a typically brash assault into the depths of Moulderport, and there's a battleplan where the Stormcast Eternals attempt to destroy one of the Skaven’s infernal Warpshatter Bells. There’s an extensive article on the design of the new Skaven miniatures, which also explores their 39 year history as miniatures in Warhammer.
The Bunker has all the regular features you know and love, including new scenarios of the month, and the rules behind the team's upcoming foray – a Warhammer 40,000 Crusade campaign. New Zone Mortalis rules and missions for the Horus Heresy let you relieve the Fall of Nyrcon City, and Pete Fehevari has a gruesome short horror story to curdle your blood just in time for Halloween.
