There was also an excerpt of The Light Fantastic. Over the next few years, the magazine would carry loads of stuff about the game, and I collected it all. It commemorated the publication of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, a game I would play avidly for years to come. Issue 82: This issue marked the beginning of my real enjoyment of the magazine. Fun Fact: I had no idea that this article had been written by the great Joe Dever until starting to write this paragraph. Instead, I substituted my dad’s Napoleonic cavalry. I remember, I needed 60 Rohirrim models, of which I owned about three. Later I would convert it for third edition, and play the game with six friends over two days.
I was Tolkien-obsessed at the time, and I spent hours poring over this. Why? Joe Dever’s “Minas Tirith,” A Warhammer 1st edition scenario for playing the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Issue 53: This is comfortably, easily, by far and away the best issue of White Dwarf I ever owned. At the time, I think I’d played D&D, and owned Traveller. Whilst this was the first issue I bought, the earliest I ever tracked down was issue 40.
Issue 60: I must confess, I remember very little about this issue apart from the cover. To celebrate, and liberate the nostalgia running through my veins, here are few of what I consider to be the greatest White Dwarfs in history. The magazine will cost $9 (£6), and subscriptions are available. I have my preorder in already, as I’m going through something of re-ignition of my love affair with Games Workshop.
Columns include battle reports, army of the month, and the slightly worrying “Reader’s models.” The front cover promises rules and support for a whole host of GW products and looks to be harking back to the halcyon days of the magazine.

Once again the numbers are to be reset, so for the third time in 39 years, gamers can pick up White Dwarf issue 1.īranded as “The Ultimate Warhammer Magazine, ” this debut issue come with a free miniature (a Slaughterpriest) and comes in at a whopping 156 pages. Now, however, White Dwarf is to return to a monthly release schedule. In recent years, it’s been a weekly periodical, and one I’ve had zero interest in. First released in 1977, it’s been the lifeblood Games Workshop-related news for nearly 40 years. This Friday (September 2nd) will see the relaunch of White Dwarf magazine.
