Yes, it’s that time of year again, which can only mean one thing… that’s right, folks – it’s almost time for December’s issue of White Dwarf! Let’s take a quick peek inside:
But even before you get to open the magazine, you’ll find a bounty of free stuff included in the card sleeve. Here’s what you’ll get:
- An 8-page booklet with all the rules for the Necromunda Delaque Gang – incidentally, you can pre-order your Delaques from tomorrow!
- A special artefact card for Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress – more on that later…
- A super-sized Chaos Gargant card for Warhammer Underworlds – we’ll come back to that in a bit…
- A booster card which you can scan for the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Champions app
- A Gotrek Gurnisson character card for use in games of Warhammer: Doomseeker
- A Grombrindal card for use in the Warhammer 40,000 Dice Masters game
And that’s just the free stuff! Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, let’s see what the magazine itself has to offer:
First Blood – Blackstone Fortress
This beginner-friendly article introduces the rules for Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress in manageable, bite-sized chunks as Martyn, Jonathan, Simon and Ben have their first game. Read how the four brave Dwarfers got on and pick up the basics of the game as you go!
Warhammer Age of Sigmar Battle Report – To Catch a Realmgate
It’s a two vs. two internecine battle as White Dwarf writers Simon and Dan team up to take on designer Matt and photographer Jonathan. They decided to play the Relocation Orb battleplan from the General’s Handbook 2018, but with a twist… that twist being the fact that they used a giant Chaos-tainted monster carrying a Realmgate on its back instead of an objective marker!
New Rules – Light in the Dark
A new and exclusive mission for Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress, called Traitor’s Fane. It sees Taddeus the Purifier and Pious Vorne ambushed by the forces of Chaos in an ill-fated exploration into the fortress’ interior. Success in this optional side quest will earn the explorers the Blessed Aquila artefact included with the magazine.
New Rules – The Glass-mad Gargant
A fun multiplayer game variant for Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault that pits 2-4 players against a formidable Chaos Gargant. Be sure to check out In the Bunker later in the issue, where you can see how Matt, Dan and Jonathan did when they took on the crazed behemoth!
But that’s far from all – here are a few other highlights from the issue:
- The Gamesmaster: An in-depth interview with games design legend Jervis Johnson
- Golden Demon Classic 2018: Two more categories from this year’s event at Warhammer Fest
- Illuminations: A special end-of-year edition in which studio guests pick pieces of art that inspired their own work
- Magic of Middle-earth: Honorary Istari Jay Clare discusses the effective use of magical powers in the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game
- Paint Splatter: Stage-by-stage painting guides for a Delaque ganger and Gandalf the White
- New Rules – Scions of Battle: Rules for fielding a Banner of Cerastus Knights in Adeptus Titanicus: The Horus Heresy
That’s a pretty action-packed issue, we’re sure you’ll agree! December’s issue of White Dwarf will be available in stores next Friday.
