Jan White Dwarf Contents

This White Dwarf has a lot of great features including one on Malign Portents, which we can expect to see more on later this month. Now, this issue is all about death and decay with several Nurgle specials and Nurgle releases outlined in this issue. Ork players will have two features set aside for them, including a feature on how to start up your own Ork army. There is also a great feature ‘The Ultimate Guide To…’ and this month it focuses on Death and dread legions of Lord Nagash.

january White Dwarf Hobbying

On the hobbying side of things, this White Dwarf’s Paint Splatter is aimed at those who are new to the hobby and have come in due to holiday specials and events. It consists of a run down of techniques, brushes, paints, and more. Further in, tips and techniques for painting the sickly hosts of Nurgle are given. There are also other features that display and discuss assembling and painting new armies and a conversion corner of sorts for making Tau terrain.
