 | You know its going to be a random White Dwraf issue when they have a long list on the front telling you what is in the issue, it's pretty easy to decode though: - Brand-New Warscrolls (Like every week...) - A Mighty Seraphon Army (A very cool fan army) - Demons of Khorne (Out of place so must be an ad) - Corvus Corax (There's a page of Forge World stuff) - Raven Guard Dark Fury Assault Squad (maybe 2 pages) It's not exactly earth shattering now is it, and really if that's the best they can offer, then you kind of get the feeling of this issue. No talk of conversions or tutorials, no exciting new fluff, or even a short story - all of these used to be regular parts of White Dwarf. Admittedly it was monthly, but it would be really nice to have some of those things back, especially on a week when we're only getting two little ginger dudes. + + More After The Jump + + |
The Ginger Fury continues, this time with two of the biggest helmets you've seen... said the actress to the Bishop! These two characters provide some hitting power to an already pretty heavy army.
The Grimwrath Berzerker, apart from having amazing eyeliner, is the deadliest of their kind. He's a tough veteran with possibly the coolest helmet so far!
The Battlesmith is not only the standard bearer, but also a skilled artisan who has forged before having the honour of carrying it into battle.

Now this is meant to be quite the tome! Grand Alliance: Chaos is supposed to be all the forces Chaos can take to war. I would be very curious to see what is in this book! Surely releasing these 158 Warscrolls and over 300 pages of material means we won't be seeing any new Chaos miniatures anytime soon. This must be it as far as releases go, unless we see more factions like the Fyreslayers who are independent but can be used by all the factions. Oh - and it's comparatively cheap too, surprisingly!
This is also the first time we have seen the new faction name for the Beastmen - Brayherds - and the Dragon Ogres as Thunderscorn!

Khorne Demons!
You sneaky red bastards - they get everywhere when you least expect it, but with an ad/ article later in this issue for the New Year New Army that focuses on the Khorne Demons, are we surprised to see this here?
In the world of books, the 544-page hard cover collecting 11 stories from the Horus Heresy is here in the form of War Without End.

These Raven Guard Dark Fury Assault Squads are awesome! Featuring the more bulked up MKVI legs that also rolled out this week when the Heresy Armour was re-released, these are very very cool and completely deadly looking. The close ups here are very clear and certainly enticing.
The interwebs seem to be going nuts over this Corax miniature right now. For me it's okay, very finely done but a bit of a yawn frankly. There is some amazing Corax artwork on the cover of Deliverance Lost which personally I prefer, but whatever floats your boat.

Twitter friend @AmySnuggs has her Seraphon army featured this week - and it's a beauty! The Seraphon models can be amazing, and even though the infantry models are well over due for an update (Hello GW are you listening?) Amy has made them look awesome. Go and check out her Twitter for more (and frankly better) photos. An excellent looking army!
Hey hey!! It's New Year New Army "spotlight" time - and as mentioned previously... it's Khorne being all red and spiky!! Grrrr. I'm still suffering from Khorne overload, so pardon my cynicism.
It's the Grimwrath Berzerker time and if nothing else, this article is great for looking at the details on this very intricate model. There is also a look at non-metallic gold runes.
Warscrolls a-go-go!!
Verdict
Frankly this issue didn't excite me. Amy's army is way cool, and the Raven Guard are nice, but overall a pretty boring issue. I will say that the tutorial for lava bases in the back is quite good and really should have been more prominent with bigger photos earlier in the issue.
