Big Gunz & Armoured Fist
The next 3 pages of the Armageddon section are more release pages showing all the entire Steel Legion selection of Imperial Guard a month after the Armageddon campaign has popped - good timing GW make everyone wait a month until they can complete their Steel Legion regiments (only the biggest Imperial Guard force serving on Armageddon). Still I love the Steel Legion Sentinel (very ST-AT or is the AT-ST?) and its no more expensive than the normal plastic kit - so I know what Sentinels I will be buying from now on. The final release page are the big guns for the Ork armies... nice new Rigger Grots.

And They Shall Know No Fear
Two more release pages this time for the Black Templars and Space Marine Scout bikes.

Cometh the Hour...
A nice piece of fiction from the pen of Dan Abnett (famous for the Gaunt Ghost stories) pitching the Imperial forces led by Commissar Yarrick against a recently landed Ork Rok. Its a nice break from the release pages and adds a little excitement to the rather now bland (for this issue) Armageddon look

The Invincible Army - The Quest is Over!
Does anyone remember the little competition run back in WD243 by Alessio trying to find the army that could beat his best ermm competitive army... Well someone did it, its quite entertaining and a nice way to see out Warhammer 5th edition.

Chapter Honour
Not sure what these 2 pages are supposed to be, nice chapters conversions of Land Raiders apart from that its a little bland. Perhaps a more detailed guide on how to convert your tanks? Instead of this pictorial - even more tactics would of been nice.

Index Astartes - Emperors Shield - Space Marine Chapters of the Armageddon War
This excellent series continues by documenting all the Space Marine Chapters that are serving on in the Armageddon War- plenty of scope for colour schemes here. I love this type of background.

Fanatic Catalogue page
Fantic live up to their promise of serving the fans in these two Catalogue pages featuring Citadel Miniatures for Warmaster, Mordheim, Epic 40K!!! and Tyranids for Gothic. Check out the Fanatic website for more details.

Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament 2000

The complete review of the gaming weekend a nice entertaining read and full results - round by round!. Brings a little character to these seldom reported on but important gaming events.

Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament 2000 - Unlimited

Just when you think the reporting is over Nick Davis (ermm me.. oops) bring us the report of the tournament he ran at the weekend. A much more personel report than the Grand overview and a couple of nice quotes. I still smile at the fate of Liam Dawson's Khorne Berzerkers. 80 attack dice and no dead Orks.. Oh dear...

Index Astartes - The Black Templars
Another Index Astartes this time the Black Templars - are these guys cool are what! I am going to put my neck our and say that the Templars are going to be the most sort after Space Marine Chapter ever! I love all their background. I hope there is going to be a compliation book coming out soon for all these fantastic Index Astartes what a great sourcebook that would be (:

Historical Actions of the Imperial Guard - Regiments of Armageddon
Nice piece of background on 4 regiments from Armageddon - problem is now I want to have the miniatures of them. Again adds more colour to Armageddon and I love the illustrations particular favourate is the Death Korp Trooper..Achtung baby...

Warhammer - the Preview
A preview and quick overview on the new Warhammer from the prospective of the its Chief developer Tuomas Pirinen. A nice taster and its got my mouth watering for the new miniatures. Looks like the its gone WH40K where its more important to have troops than rock hard characters.

Warhammer 40,000 Battle Report - Warzone Tempestora
Its huge! The second part of the first Armageddon battle report... I wont reveal the ending but I loved the concept of this battle report and as I mentioned last month it goes to show what you can do when you get all your mates around and just play a huge game. Loved the prospective of the way the report was written... It would of been great to see more pictures of the other tables... big thumbs up to Phil Kelly the guy who had to collate the information for this battle report. Well done old Chap.

Summing up

Yet another good good issue of White Dwarf from the team. I would not say though that this was any better than last months in terms of content and the Armageddon articles seem to be a little luke warm considering that this was the month after the campaign. The White Dwarf was very background heavy again - perhaps this time a little too much. With the two Index Astartes, Imperial Guard and Ork bits. I would still like to see a few more hobby orientated articles alongside couple of exclusive rule articles. Don't let the Fanatic boys steal all the thunder lads, this magazine should be the first point of contact of the hobby and it is still sadly lacking in the hobby areas. Again not an essential buy for Warhammer fans the preview text should keep their mouths watering for the new game. Well until next month this is the score on the doors...
