Alright, fellow Warhammer fans, Issue 505 of White Dwarf is about to drop, and this one’s a must-read for anyone who loves Orks, Orruks, or Orcs! October is officially “Orktober,” and the whole issue is packed with brutal, kunnin’, and green-skinned fun.
First up, there’s a brand-new mega battle report featuring a fresh mission called Squig Rustlin’. If you love chaotic, hilarious battles, this one’s got you covered. Two rival Ork clans go head-to-head, duking it out to capture the most Squigs – basically giant, bouncing meatballs of destruction. To make things even spicier, you get bonus points for knocking out an enemy Warboss. The mission’s wild and perfect for group play—six Warhammer Studio players get in on the action here. Best part? You can play it yourself since the mission rules are included!
And let’s talk about Jack Masters’ Da Great Waaagh! – a colossal 6,500-point Ork army that’s taken years to build. It’s the centerpiece of this issue, and the highlight is his custom Gorkaknights—two looted Imperial Knights that look downright nasty. This thing is a total inspiration if you’re into converting your models or just love seeing crazy armies in action.
But that’s not all. The Adepta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle) are getting some love with new Hymns of Battle Crusade rules. You can use these alongside your Codex rules or run them solo. There’s also some lore on the Order of the Argent Shroud’s activities in the Chalnath Expanse, so it’s perfect for fans of the Sisters.
For Warhammer: Age of Sigmar players, there’s a lot to chew on, too. The Flashpoint Moulderhunt storyline wraps up with a wild battle against Skaven deep in the rat-infested Moulderport. The Stormcast Eternals try to take down a massive Skaven Warpshatter Bell. And if you love miniatures, there’s a retrospective on Skaven models, diving into their 39-year history—it’s a cool mix of nostalgia and design insight.
As always, The Bunker delivers with regular features, including a new Warhammer 40,000 Crusade campaign, Zone Mortalis missions for Horus Heresy, and some terrifying Halloween vibes courtesy of Pete Fehevari’s horror short story.
