 White Dwarf has a long history, having being launched
way back in the 70s by Games Workshop founders Ian
Livingstone and Steve Jackson as a follow up to their
fanzine, Owl and Weasel.
Over the years White Dwarf has covered many different
games, but though its focus has changed over time,
it has always been, and remains, completely dedicated
to gaming.
The main focus of White Dwarf is our three main gaming systems – The
Lord of The Rings, Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. The magazine is divided
into sections, three of which focus on one of these games. Within, we print
numerous additional rules for all three. These include rules for alternative
army lists, scenarios, characters, troop types, battle zones and more. In our
regular columns Warhammer Chronicles and Chapter Approved, we provide new and
exciting ways to play Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, while The Lord of The
Rings section carries a wide variety of new gaming material every month.
Every month we delve deeper into our gaming worlds, revealing the secret histories
of the creatures and peoples of Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000 and Middle-earth.
You’ll find some of the finest miniatures in the world in White Dwarf,
painted and modelled by Golden Demon winners and Games Workshop’s own
highly talented ’Eavy Metal team. Generals, too, of well-modelled armies
grace our pages, while the White Dwarf team also produce special conversions
for games. You’ll also find many articles on terrain building. All of
these features contain a wealth of information on unusual or advanced techniques
so you can get the best from your miniatures.
One of White Dwarf’s most enduringly popular articles is our Battle Report.
Every month you can join us and spectate as mighty armies clash upon the field
of conflict. We have a variety of battles, from tournament-style games fought
by some of the most renowned generals in the community to story-driven battles
featuring interesting scenarios or special rules.
White Dwarf’s remaining two sections, one at the front, one at the back,
contain all you need to know in order to enjoy the hobby to its full. The News
carries details of upcoming armies, new games, miniatures and happenings. White
Dwarf also contains further information, including a full list of all our stores,
components for the conversions and classic models we have featured that month.
White Dwarf also provides all the information you need to find Games Workshop
products, be it at Games Workshop Hobby Centre, Independent Retailer, through
Direct Services mail order or by surfing the Online Store. |
