White Dwarf is changing, and the monthly issue is gone for good. Starting February the White Dwarf will be a weekly release, while a new monthly magazine called Visions of Warhammer, or Warhammer Visions starts up.
Things were coming at us fast and furious yesterday, and as new information was found or given, it was posted up. We have had confirmations from many different places around the globe that this is happening, so it was time to consolidate all the details that we received into a single article.
Here are the relevant bits of information.
There will be an announcement this Saturday. The monthly White Dwarf magazine is history. There will be a small weekly white dwarf magazine and a new monthly magazine, called "warhammer: visions", 230 pages strong(!!!). This will start in February.
Also there is a meeting in February for every European "black shirt" in England. Maybe for the new GW website, including FW. :)
As a heads up, you're going to be getting emails about "weekly white dwarf mini magazines."
It's called White Dwarf Visions and it's true.
They will focus on talking about the hobby and community more so than being a sales magazine.
White Dwarf Visions (New White Dwarf), is coming soon, February 1st, and there will be new issues every Saturday.
The prices are as follows, and will only be sold at GW Stores and Independents.... no newstands.
- £2.40, €3.20, US$4, CA$5, Aus$6, NZ$7, 25rmb, 12zl, 500¥, 30dkr, 35skr, 35nkr
Whats being revealed is that the magazine will be 32 pages of whats new and exciting in the hobby this week, new reelases and other news. There will also be new features that will include hobby oriented material, like techniques for painting and modeling, and new rules, and new authors.
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).
The white dwarf subscription page on newsstand for iPad. In the uk site the name for the magazine title now reads as Warhammer: visions and costs £44.99 for the year.
These are the original articles as they came out yesterday.
Here is more of the latest information on the changes to White Dwarf.
