white dwarf #131

It’s all down to this issue folks. Come see the new Ogors for Age of Sigmar and the sneak peak of what’s on the way for next month’s new White Dwarf format!

Another great White Dwarf is here, and while it is again sans a Paint Splatter article, there is all sorts of new products to oogle for this week.

Come see the latest on the new AoS Beastclaw Raiders battletome, and all the new model options in this week’s issue as we countdown to the new monthly format in September.

White Dwarf 131 $4 (The Last Weekly Issue)

1ENGXL (1)

White Dwarf 131 sweeps down from the mountains, and brings with it the Beastclaw Raiders! There’s a full guide to the week’s releases – the miniatures, the Battletome, the painting guide and more! There’s also some grim Chaos making its presence felt in the Hall of Fame, the start of Armies on Parade 2016, and a beautiful Space Marines army for you to look upon in awe. Of course, there’s all the usual comment, news and reaction from the Week in White Dwarf.

This is a very special issue of White Dwarf, too – it’s the last issue in the current weekly format. As of Saturday the 27th of August, it moves to a monthly format. Still the same fantastic combination of news, features and imagery, but now there’ll be more of it! Check out our blog from 20th June for more details.

The Last Weekly White Dwarf #131 Review 

What to expect from the first issue of the new Monthly Format?

  • The first four numbers (issues?) of the new White Dwarf miniature come with a gift. The first mini will come with the September, and will be worth around 20 €. The price of the magazine is 8 € .
  • It is almost as thick as the General Manual Age of Sigmar. Including the magazine in its 156 pages :
  • Reports of extensive battle.
  • Painting guides and reports of ‘Eavy Metal.
  • How Citadel miniatures are made. Possibly the first report of this kind will focus on Nagash.
  • Articles and background to campaigns or thematic headings.
  • More warscrolls.
  • No advertising or commercial developments: these will be announced weekly through social networks.
