Here’s what you can look forward to in the May issue:
WARHAMMER 40,000
Armageddon: A Planet at War
Get your coat (and your gas mask), we're heading for Armageddon to take a look around.
Temporal Distort: Commissar Yarrick
We shine our temporal light on Commissar Yarrick, also known as Ol’ Bale Eye.
Galactic War Hosts: Knights (Part 2)
Remember all those wonderful Knights from April's issue? Well, we've got more of them!
Escalating Conflict: Incursion Underway
Escalate your army to new heights with this army-building article.
Waaagh! Wazdakka
The coolest Ork in all of Orkdom races in, pulls a wheelie, makes some doughnuts, and gets his very own biography.
Battle Report: Armoured Breakthrough
Ork Speed Freeks have a head-on collision with a column of armoured infantry. This can only end in absolute carnage.
Da Baddest Bikeboss
A Designers’ Notes/’Eavy Metal mash-up where we look at the new Wazdakka model.
Paint Splatter: Boomdakka Snazzwagon
Not the first ‘snazz’ in this contents page, but definitely the snazziest stage-by-stage painting guide in this issue.
Joint Ops: Escape The Submersible
A new Kill Team mission set in a sinking Ork sub. What could possibly go wrong?
WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR
Arcane Inferno
Do you know the colours of magic? Of course not, you can't see magic! But the Battlemages of the Collegiate Arcane can.
Anvil of Apotheosis: Collegiate Battlemages
Build a wizard, complete with spells, staffs, and snazzy robes. No squeaker, though.
Arcane Duel
Walk ten paces. Draw your wands. Turn to face your opponent. And… start zapping! It’s a magical mini-game.
