White Dwarf shakes the earth this month with Cogforts and Dominus Knights proving bigger is better. Check out what’s in the upcoming issue before it goes up for pre-order on Saturday.
The new Cogforts of the Ironweld Armouries are the focus of Issue 525, as their arrival turns heads across the Mortal Realms as part of the new Cities of Sigmar range. Lethis and Greywater Fastness get special attention in this issue, with Cities of Renown rules to represent their specialities – including two new Legends units each – and an in-depth look at their histories.
Their new units use several of the new Cities of Sigmar kits, like the Freeguild Grenadiers, and you can learn all about how these dapper debutantes were created – including the Cogforts themselves – in a detailed 14-page designer’s commentary.
Why is Erasmus Zonn’s mount so weird? Did we really need to see under the helmet of the Knellmage? How significant is a 45° angle to the Cities of Sigmar? Can the followers of Sigmar overcome the Maggotkin of Nurgle in a battle report? All these questions will be answered.
Later in the issue, the Titanic Duel minigame* returns with new rules for three heavily armed Dominus-class Knights – the Castellan, Valiant, and warp-ravaged Tyrant. This quick, yet surprisingly tactical game pits two Knights against each other in a head-to-head clash where you’ll carefully plan orders and aim to knock out critical systems on the opposing machine, until one finally collapses under the weight of accumulated damage.
A new short story brings the horrors of Armageddon to the page as a squad of Steel Legion Guardsmen hunker down in their stricken Chimera, with vicious Orks all around them. Their outlook is bleak – the transport crippled by one of their own mines – and even though the story is titled Answered Prayers, we’re not convinced they’re coming out the other side intact.
On top of all that, you’ll get your usual complement of hobby guides and monthly missions for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar. You even get an additional Warhammer 40,000 mission designed to test the flexibility and versatility of your campaign armies, with elements of your force slowly trickling in every turn.
