The Bunker, White Dwarf’s own global gaming club, rolls into its fourth month with a new Warhammer Age of Sigmar narrative campaign and a supernatural painting challenge.

The Blood Angels battle the Death Guard in the inaugural epic-scale Battle Report for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis. This is a huge deal – you’ll get to see exactly how the new game plays, using two large and varied studio armies of Space Marines.
