White Dwarf December

Good evening, sports fans – December’s White Dwarf is here to kick off a new season of Blood Bowl, the game of fantasy football! We’ve got a great feature introducing the game, a Paint Splatter for the Skavenblight Scramblers and Editor Matt Keefe takes on the game’s designer, Jervis Johnson, in our exclusive Match Report! On top of all that Blood Bowl madness, Magnus is back! That’s right – Magnus the Red becomes the first Daemon Primarch to appear as a Citadel Miniature, and alongside him come a great new range of Thousand Sons. We’ve got a first look, a stage-by-stage Painting Guide for the Thousand Sons and a great background feature on Magnus. All that and there’s still room for a giant Stormcast Eternals Army of the Month, Blanchitsu, Golden Demon, A Tale of Four Warlords, a grab bag of new rules and much, much more.
