Don’t miss out, the new Necrons are coming, and will be here ready to ship on Friday 5/4!
I will also be feverishly working all weekend doing unboxing videos, assembling models, and getting new bits items to market.
But for now you can satiate your Necron hunger by checking out my review of the new content rich White Dwarf with the advance order Necrons!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I just finished up reading the new White Dwarf and I have to admit I’m pretty impressed with the “new” format.
I like the revised painting guides using the new citadel paints, and am so glad they have done away with the 50/50 and 80/20 -ish type mixes that they used to recommend for painting. While the results look great, it seemed like it discouraged most painters before they even started!
So I think that may be one of the reasons Games Workshop really needed something to grasp onto beginning hobbyists to keep them firmly entrenched.
Enter the new range of paints, for the win! If you haven’t already, check out my review of the New Citadel Paint Guide. I think this book is a must have for every level of painter.
Together both the new paint guide and range of paints really, really, work well together. They seem to make painting just right for any skill level!
Back to the White Dwarf though, the battle reports in this issue seemed to be really stepped up, and apparently will continue on with the next issue as well (per the “ad” in the back). They also added a little “friendly” content feature for multiple player games.
Best of all are the new Necron Models. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing! It’s been said that I may be easy to impress, but these new models really, really, really set Games Workshop apart from the pack IMHO.
Check out the video below for more on the new Necrons and White Dwarf awesomeness. If you happen to fancy more, you can checkout my other “unboxings” here. Enjoy.– MBG
