The big five-oh gets the full White Dwarf treatment this month.
Issue 518 lands as a love letter to Warhammer’s past, present, and immediate future. You get a sweeping company history plus rules and hobby content that beg to be tried. Moreover, the nostalgia factor is high without skipping modern goodies. Consequently, veterans and newcomers both have plenty to dig into.
A Golden Anniversary Tour From Hammersmith to Here
The headline feature charts 50 years of Games Workshop and Warhammer. It starts at the first Hammersmith store and sprints to today. You hear from people across the business as they recount miniatures, art, and game design shifts. Additionally, it touches video games, animations, and Warhammer Community. The piece reads like a guided museum tour that still feels alive.
Warhammer 40,000 Nostalgia With New Toys on the Table
White Dwarf dives into Battle Through the Ages for classic 40K vibes. It presents rules for second, third, and fourth edition Space Marines and their classic foes. There are three missions that echo the iconic starter boxes.
Meanwhile, a huge battle report revisits Kasr Kraf from the Thirteenth Black Crusade. Two Warhound Titans crash the party, so the spectacle is real.
Mortal Realms Mayhem: Chariots, Death Racing, and Fiery Duardin
Age of Sigmar content zooms in on chariots with pages of coverage. You also get Wasteland Death Race rules to build a rig and skill a racer. Furthermore, the Helsmiths of Hashut stride in as the newest Chaos army. A design notes feature explains their infernal engines and duardin culture. Paint Splatter then shows practical recipes for your first Zharrdron units.
Deep Dives, Inserts, and Hobby Fuel
The bolter gets an exhaustive lore and tech breakdown for the 41st Millennium. Black Library staff highlight standout Warhammer fiction to queue on your shelf. Additionally, studio classic minis get the spotlight with fresh photos. The issue packs useful inserts like a Talisman board overlay and story card.

Final Thoughts
This is a celebration issue that still pushes you to play something tonight. The history feature grounds the hobby while the rules and reports spark ideas. Moreover, the Helsmiths reveal and chariot racing add creative projects for the winter. You can pre-order on Saturday or lock in a 12-month subscription. Either way, this is a keeper for the bookshelf and the gaming bag.
