Hey there, fellow Warhammer enthusiasts! The August issue of White Dwarf is just around the corner, and it’s loaded with goodies that are sure to get you hyped. Here’s a detailed sneak peek at what’s inside, packed with some enthusiastic gamer commentary to boot.
First up, the centerpiece of this issue is nothing short of legendary. We’re talking about an epic 10,000-point battle report featuring the Tale of Four Warlords. Imagine this: two Daemon Primarchs and 25 armored vehicles clashing in a final, apocalyptic battle on Nova Raukus. This showdown is the culmination of a year’s worth of painting and preparing by these dedicated hobbyists, and it’s all laid out in glorious detail. Plus, you get the mission rules they used, so you can recreate this epic conflict on your own table. How cool is that?
The Warhammer 40K coverage is stellar as always. This month dives deep into the Leagues of Votann, exploring the intricate details of kindreds, Guilds, and Leagues. The new Crusade rules are particularly intriguing, offering guidelines for Grudges, Acquisitions, and Assets. If you’re into lore and tactical depth, this section is a goldmine. Also, there’s a feature on the stunning Envoy diorama at Warhammer World. Trust me, the craftsmanship on display is mind-blowing.
For Warhammer Age of Sigmar fans, this issue shines a spotlight on the Astral Templars. These beast-hunting Stormcast Eternals, clad in maroon armor and adorned with pelts and bone talismans, get some serious love. The Flashpoint Moulderhunt segment includes Legends rules for running the Astral Templars in an Army of Renown, alongside the larger-than-life hero Hamilcar Bear-Eater. The lore and new rules make these rough-and-ready champions even more compelling. There’s also a “Rules of Engagement” article that delves into the new approach to universal Manifestations, providing valuable insights for your games.
The Horus Heresy gets an update with news from the battle for the Ollanz Cluster, and there’s a tantalizing look at the upcoming Boarding Actions supplement. For the lore buffs, there’s a treatise on the gaps in the history of Warhammer 40K, offering a fascinating deep dive into the mysteries of the setting.
This issue is packed with extras, including cards with this month’s scenarios, 12 Warhammer Underworlds cards for new shared deck objectives, two paint recipe cards, and two bunker cards. Whether you’re a painter, a gamer, or a lore master, these extras are super handy.
