The next issue of White Dwarf is stepping out in style—Issue 511 is a full-on celebration of decadence, destruction, and daemons, all under the silk-slicked banner of the Emperor’s Children.
Available for pre-order this Saturday, this issue might just be the most Slaaneshi installment yet.
Fulgrim Ascends
At the heart of the issue lies a 10-page feature on Fulgrim, the Daemon Primarch of the Emperor’s Children. It dives deep into his fall from grace and his transformation into a serpentine horror worthy of Slaanesh. For painters, there’s a huge bonus: a full hobby breakdown of the new Fulgrim model, including detailed paint recipes direct from the ‘Eavy Metal team—glaze ratios and all.
The broader Emperor’s Children content is equally indulgent. There’s an exploration of Slaanesh as a god—themes of perfection, obsession, and sensation—followed by lore-rich coverage of the Emperor’s Children’s most iconic units, characters, and daemonic allies.
Rules, Battle Reports & Combat Patrol Content
This issue also drops a new Combat Patrol list that blends Slaaneshi daemons with power-armored followers of Fulgrim—providing a unique, fast-paced spin on the Codex list. Add to that a Boarding Patrol ruleset for close-quarters chaos, and you’re ready to play tight, brutal missions worthy of the Prince of Pleasure.
There’s even a Battle Report showcasing these new Boarding Patrol rules, where Fulgrim’s elite go toe-to-toe with Jain Zar and the Aeldari. Expect elegance, bloodshed, and absolutely no subtlety.
Eldar Design Insights & Missions
For fans of the Aeldari, the second part of the behind-the-scenes Aspect Warrior retrospective continues. Jes Goodwin—architect of Eldar elegance—is joined by modern designers to talk through the evolution of miniatures like the Warp Spiders, Fire Dragons, and Swooping Hawks.
Meanwhile, the White Dwarf Bunker brings a new Joint Ops mission, where players must disrupt a sacred Imperial delivery tied to the Massif Ballistus. The twist? Random NPO activations using a custom deck of cards included in the issue, adding an unpredictable edge to your missions.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a long-time Chaos collector, a hobbyist looking to master Fulgrim’s paint scheme, or just a White Dwarf subscriber who loves a packed issue, this month’s magazine offers style, substance, and a whole lot of flair. The full-art subscriber cover option is available again with the 12-month plan—and this might be the issue to start with.
White Dwarf 511 goes up for pre-order this Saturday. Fulgrim wouldn’t settle for less.
