White Dwarf 507 – The Genestealer Cults are taking over

 

With the new edition of Warhammer Underworlds now available, there’s no better time to start a league with your friends, and this month’s Bunker has advice on how to do so, with free cards that introduce twists to your games. There’s also commentary from the designers on what went into the new edition.

Working tirelessly to emancipate themselves in preparation for the Star Children, the Genestealer Cults are this month’s cover stars. An in-depth investigation into their movements in Warzone Chalnath accompanies a profile on the Quarry Rats, an expansive revolutionary army created by one of the Warhammer 40,000 team, and new rules for Genestealer Cults Crusade campaigns that expand on the offering in their Codex.

We’re travelling to the Realm of Death in Warhammer Age of Sigmar with Flashpoint Lethis, which finds Sigmar’s premiere stronghold in Shyish under siege from the Ossiarch Bonereapers. Nagash’s enforcers simply want to top up their Bone Tithe, and it’s not really their fault that the process involves people losing their lives. You can fight out the battle yourself over a three-game campaign.

There’s plenty of other great stuff to check out too, with the first battle report from the new edition of Kill Team pitting the swarming Vespid Stingwings against the Tempestus Aquilons, and an accompanying Paint Splatter article on how to paint your own oversized orange insects.

On top of that, there’s a continuation of Armies of the Old World, a classic take on the Tale of Four Warlords format featuring a quartet of gorgeous armies on square bases, a rousing screed on why Skaven are the best, and the second episode of Tatters of Hope, a short story by William Crowe.
