Come see the issue that set  the hobby internet on fire last week; White Dwarf issue 109 is here, and it’s a good ‘un!

The new White Dwarf is here chock full of all the new previews and showcases for Deathwatch: Overkill. The WD team did an excellent job this go around from their showcases to demo game play and for even including exclusive rules for the Space Marine models themselves.
