A new preview for November’s White Dwarf is here, and it looks to be jam packed full of rules and previews for BOTH 40k and Age of Sigmar!
Games Workshop dropped a surprise teaser today for the upcoming White Dwarf that looks to be ever better than before!
Plus looks like we’ll be getting rules for the gold contemptor you can see in the background of the custodes datasheet download as well.
So, November’s White Dwarf is just around the corner and the guys at the Web team have been kind enough to once again ask me to talk a little bit about what’s in store. We’re sure most of you have seen the cover by now, so you’ll know that this issue of White Dwarf features none other than the White Dwarf himself, Grombrindal. That’s right – this month readers are treated to a free download allowing them to use Grombrindal in Total War: Warhammer (and if you haven’t got the game yet, the card will get you 20% off). To mark the occasion, we invited Andy Hall and Al Bickham from Creative Assembly, who made the game, up to GW HQ for a day of gaming and you can read the results in this month’s issue.
Of course, this issue’s big new release is the new Horus Heresy game, Burning of Prospero, and we’ve got it covered with a first look in Planet Warhammer, an in-depth examination in our special feature, and more…
…So, what else have we got for you? Here’s the rundown. Enjoy!Planet Warhammer – All the news

Remember there is a three month lag time on each issue, so this is the first issue that the WD staff realized that Age of Sigmar was finally a hit based off June/July sales! Here’s to hoping there will be more AoS coverage in future issues.
