The hotly anticipated fourth entry in the Dawn of War series is the star of July’s White Dwarf, so let’s have a look at what's between the pages of issue 526.
Dawn of War is one of the most beloved video games in the Warhammer canon, and after a nine year hiatus, it’s coming back in style. If you’re anything like us, you’re hunting down every last scrap of info on the new game, so White Dwarf Issue 526 is a must-read for its exclusive interview with Creative Director Jan Theysen.
If you’re one of the many who painted a bunch of Blood Ravens after playing the series, there’s more good news for you – the issue comes with a free transfer sheet sporting over 350 decals for Gabriel Angelos and his crimson-clad battle brothers, along with a step-by-step painting guide for their iconic colour scheme.
Staying with the 41st Millennium, we also have an astonishingly beautiful Genestealer Cults collection to cast our keen eyes over. Master artificer and secret cult infiltrator Mark Kilburn has custom-built an immense industrial collective from all sorts of Warhammer kits. It’s so good, you might even consider getting an extra clawed arm of your own.
In the eastern reaches of the World of Legend, Chaos forces have smashed through the Great Bastion of Grand Cathay and are poised to ravage the civilised lands beyond. Little do they know that their advance has been pre-planned by Miao Ying – the Storm Dragon – and their doom awaits outside the city of Nan-Li in a new Battle Report. The two armies use the contents of the new core set as a starting point, and it’s your first chance to see the new Warriors of Chaos miniatures in action.
Black Library legend Ciaphas Cain has been in the headlines recently thanks to his new miniature hitting the shelves – order one now while stocks last – but those unfamiliar with the Hero of the Imperium may be asking themselves who this illustrious Commissar actually is. We may never really be able to pick Cain’s own admissions apart from the masses of Imperial propaganda, but what we do know is yours to read.
