This month’s issue also is full of hobby content, features, and extras. Now, we have already covered the Death Guard content from this issue in a previous article, so be sure to check that out.

The Septemeber issue comes in a card-stock slip cover to protect the new issue and two posters that come inside. The first is a larger version of the cover art with Ork Stompas in the background. The second poster is for Total War: Warhammer 2. Now, this issue is full of hobby features and makes up for the poor showing that was last month’s White Dwarf. There is the final installment of the ‘Tale of Four Warlords’; new Hobbit rules in preparation for the upcoming Lake Town releases from Forge World; a feature that goes in-depth on Allies from the new General’s Handbook 2017; and much more.
This month’s battle report is Crimson Fist themed, featuring Kantor’s Last Command with a 206 power level facing Ripfist Hakmaw’s Yella Waaagh! with a 211 power level. There is also another battle report included which pits Ultramarines and Imperial Fists with a power level of 199 vs. the Chaos Revenants of Umidia with a power level of 214.
Aside from a great Splatter Report on ways to paint up the limited edition Intercessor Sergeant, there are also several pages worth of hobby tips in the Realms of Battle section on how to utilize the new Citadel Basing Terrain Kits that were just released.
