Editing White Dwarf (section)

== Back to monthly ==

In late 2016, WD went back to the monthly model. Warhammer Visions died, but now we got a new magazine with batreps, painting tutorials, news, joke segments, and most oddly, FREE SHIT. Issue one came with a fucking SLAUGHTERPRIEST for FREE. A model that costs £7 more then the goddammed mag.

In 2019 the magazine got a soft reboot, becoming more like the older times: it contains new short stories for both 40k and Age of Sigmar, the return of [[Index Astartes]] (plus Index Imperialis/Xenos/Whatever) featuring stuff like additional rules and stratagems for lesser Space Marine Chapters or updated Index profiles for smaller armies like Ynnari, Assassins and Inquisition, an equivalent for Age of Sigmar called The Tome Celestial which gives additional stuff for some subfactions of various armies like some new Warscroll Battalions or new named character variations of generic heroes, more new rules for games (such as new battleplans for both 40k and AoS, new Kill Team armies and models, additional quests for Blackstone Fortress and side game variants of Warhammer Underworlds), more columns and articles about modelling or game strategy and stuff. And, most important, no direct promotion of new models whatsoever, the most you may see are some articles tying in to recent releases or casually mentioning/showing new books or models in a "You should already know that this exists" way.

In 2020, due to the Covid-19 lockdown, White Dwarf issues got the kinda hilarious penchant to keep promoting stuff that isn't out yet as if they were out, such as the May issue (which ended up being released in late June) saying "Hey, want to try the new [[Lumineth Realm-Lords]] in [[Warcry]]? Go and buy a box of the basic troop guys!" except that the basic troop guys aren't going to be released outside of the limited release big box before September.

2022 had another reboot, with the content now being more focused on narrative and campaign content that expands on whatever new campaign books are coming out at the time.
