White Dwarf 355 Review
My latest copy of White Dwarf magazine came through the door the other day and I’ve just realised I didn’t do a review of last month’s 354! Well, here’s this month’s offering…
White Dwarf 355
This month we have the long awaited release of Planetstrike, and with it a bunch of really nice scenery pieces. Up there with the 40 ruined buildings released with Apocalypse, these new pieces have to be some of the best things Games Workshop have produced in a long time.
Games Workshop’s brush range is being revamped too, and there is 4 pages telling us all about them. It’s all well and good, but all I can see is that they’ve made them black and added 2 brush types. The beginning of the article states that this isn’t the case, but they don’t go on to justify it. They are made by hand as they always have, by the same people they always have, and they’ve changed the drybrush bristle type to make it better. What I really want to know is whether the other brushes have been improved? I suppose if I want to find out I’ll have to shell out some pennies…
It’s also time for another ‘Eavy Metal painting competition and as per usual with some really great results! Each painting an Empire wizard from a different school of magic there are some really nice paint jobs on show. The winner yet again is Darren Latham, however looking through myself Joe Tomaszewski’s Gold Wizard wins it for me, the NMM and light sourcing make it stand out from the rest. A close second for me would be Martin Footit’s Amethyst Wizard as the freehand on the book is amazing.
As for the rest of the issue, there’s the usual battle report, this time showing off Planetstrike. Also an article on Empire tactics. My interests are all in the hobby side though as you can probably guess ;).
