White Dwarf Magazine is definitely changing, and the confirmations are coming from all over this morning. I am still wanting to get more information about the new formats of both magazines and what they will entail, so of course I will keep you up to date on what we can learn.
These are still considered rumors until something official is announced. Here are three more confirmations from the community.
Just in case you missed the breaking news these confirmations are about. here is the link.

Games Workshop have today informed its dealers about upcoming changes in innovations and hobby magazines.
The White Dwarf is set in its current form and replaced by two new magazines.
On the one hand there will be a weekly magazine with the new developments that will in future also presented and published again weekly. The magazine will be significantly thinner than the previous WD and probably cost 3.20 euros.
Also included in this new WD through the monthly " Visions of Warhammer " , which will be much more expensive (about 10,00 Euro per issue) from the periphery rather appears to correspond to the old WD and exclusively intended to include Hobby products.

I can also confirm that the rumor of White Dwarf Magazine changing is true.
A source from GW informed me that there would be a weekly magazine around
50 pages the price of a citadel paint and a monthly magazine that will be
around 250 pages (unknown price).

I was at a GW store today and the manager told me to come to the store (or check GW webpage etc) on the 11th of January due to what he called unexpected but big news
He said it would affect all people in the hobby
I also managed to catch a very short glimpse while he was reading something about this off a monitor (nothing but "Breaking News")

... our favorite magazine disappears, and is replaced by two new formats, one weekly, and one monthly. weekly and introduces new rules, the monthly check look back to what happened in the last month. Both will be in English. RIP White Dwarf
