age of sigmar collectors guide

Come see the amazing brand new Age of Sigmar Getting Started magazine that could just be a preview of the new monthly White Dwarf format!

I’ve read a lot of hobby publications in my day, and I have NEVER been as blown away by one as I have with this new Getting Started guide to the Age of Sigmar!

This magazine is packed with tons of full bleed vivid images, page overlay spreads, multi page immersive battle reports, and almost 20 pages of hobby how-tos.

Plus they have re-worked the AoS rules into a more digestible format over more than just the standard 4 pages as well.

After reading this very engrossing supplement for the game, I surely hope this is also a “pilot” for what will be the format of the new monthly White Dwarf in September.
