80 pages for £1.50 and 25% adverts again this month. It’s nice and stable at the moment after the rebranding has settled down.
Culture Shock
A new 40k tank is coming, the Predator. Heroquest will also be out for Christmas. The letters page is gone and replaced with Battle Lines, which is a more detailed format that starts this issue with Turning the Tide.
Critical Mass
Books are back. Of note is Beyond lies the Wub, which I have on my shelf because I’m a total Dick Head. Yeah, I mention that just for a cheap laugh but if you don’t like Phillip K. Dick then you’re bored of drug and paranoia fueled sci-fi.
Rough Riders and Whiteshields
Even I’m getting a bit bored of Imperial Guard now! Another 7 pages about them, this time about mounted cavalry (Horse, meet bolter) and poor Whiteshields who are youngsters trying to come of age by not being killed in battle.
Referees
In most sports you aren’t allowed to attack the referee. Blood bowl positively encourages it.
Squats
21 pages of yet another new army, Space Dwarves. We’re not even allowed to mention them nowadays, but they were cool.
Chain Fist!
Advanced close combat rules for Adeptus Titanicus.
Wardancers
Warhammer fantasy roleplay page wastage. 7 pages of it.
Turning the Tide
I’m not sure this is a letter that got out of hand or what, but tactical tips for fighting Chaos that now passes for the letters page
Craters
Much like the crater rules for 40k a while back, but now for Epic.
‘Eavy Metal
Six pages of pictures and descriptions.
New 40k and Epic Releases
- Space Dwarves – 36 plastic models
- Imperial Guard Rough Riders (Two left, two right plastic horse halves, a couple of heads and 11 torsos. Also Jetbike and Motorbike to replace the horses.
- Greater Daemon on Tzeentch (Lots of optional bits to make up a scary number of combinations)
- Greater Daemon of Nurgle. Another pile of bits, this time with added puss and decay.
- Adeptus Mechanicus. Now a range of 7.
- Ratling Snipers. Range of 3
- Sqats. Range of 17 metal bodies with plastic arms.
- Adeptus Mechanicus Squat Tech Priest. Brilliant model.
- Squat Exo-armour. Why Squats should be brought back.
So now we have two new armies for 40k on the go at the same time, and one of them is the fabled Squats. We also have more content for Adeptus Titanicus in the form of rules and the miniature releases for both games are coming thick and fast.
