Our first article is “The Age of Myth” and it talks about what happened between The End Times and the Age of Sigmar. A skeptic could say this is because the whole issue is one big sales pitch for Age of Sigmar but there’s a lot of actual solid content in this issue so I’m very happy with what is here. Interesting enough, the usual soft sell article/advertisements that make up the beginning of a White Dwarf issue are nowhere to be seen this time around. This introduction is very striking looking and it really helps to sell the new set from page one on. It’s pretty obvious as it’s not as poseable as other GW figures, but for newcomers, I'[m sure these are quite helpful. You also get some quick instructions on how to put together your Stormcast Eternal figure. As soon as you open the cover, you get another shot of the same army (in the same exact formation) coming into contact with the Khorne Goretide that opposes it in the same package. Now let’s actually talk about the mag itself.įirst up, the cover gives you a fantastic look at the Sigmar army that comes in the Age of Sigmar boxed set. Okay, so we’ve plugged the free figure and the fact you get the entire Age of Sigmar ruleset in the magazine. Free highly detailed figure! Now the only problem is do I paint my Sig Marine like they show in the magazine, do I paint it up like a Blood Angel (since the army seems really influenced by that Warhammer 40,000 chapter) or do I paint it like my Guardians of the Covenant as a fun in-joke that only I will get. My god, just go to your local GW (or other gaming store) and pick one of these up. You get a free figure so you can see if you like the whole cutting, gluing and painting aspect of these types of games and you get the FULL AGE OF SIGMAR RULES in the magazine in addition to a lot of other helpful information. There has never been a better gateway into a miniatures game. With only a $4 price tag, this issue of White Dwarf practically pays for itself.
Even better, each physical copy of White Dwarf, Issue #75 comes bundled with a Stormcast Eternal (Technically a Liberator) sprue figure to start off your Age of Sigmar collection. Not only is this week’s issue oversized, but every page is devoted to a single topic: The Age of Sigmar aka, Warhammer, Ninth Edition. This week? This has been the absolute best issue of White Dwarf since the beginnings of The End Times and one could easily say it’s the best issue since the relaunch a year and a half ago. It was a third rate send off to the previous eight editions of Warhammer and it really disappointed me.
