Look to the skies! White Dwarf 118 screams down from the scorched clouds with the lowdown on two fantastic new flyers for Warhammer 40,000. The Stormhawk Interceptor and the Wazbom Blastajet – one of them is an expression of Space Marine supremacy, and the other is a load of bits of metal bolted together in the shape of an aeroplane. Which one will win? Well, with Death From the Skies, the new supplement featuring new rules for flyers, you’ll be able to find out for yourself soon. For those who can’t wait, there’s a battle report in this issue! We’ve got a Paint Splatter featuring the Stormhawk Interceptor, a chat with the painter of this month’s Warhammer Visions Army of the Month, and the usual comment, opinion and reaction from The Week In White Dwarf.
