soots Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So i went to a independant store that sells gw products for cheap like min 20% off and they had the new april white dwarf with the grey knights looks pretty good, just skimmed through it ton of pages about the new models, codex battle was grey knights vs ...daemons (didnt see that coming), i didnt read the entire report but it sort of annilation on model count, like last man standing the modelling section was based just on the terminator and strike squad kits, nothing on the dreadknight if you guys have any questions let me know, like pictures etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225598-new-white-dwarf/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashe Darke Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah they did a mission from the Battle Missions book. Apparently the Daemons list is just crap and it's them bending over to make the GKs look awesome. Really unsubtle from what I heard.

biglou666 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, they don't need to bother promoting models that look that good! :lol: i don't know why they even bothered with a gk issue of White dwarf, i was going to buy the models anyway lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225598-new-white-dwarf/#findComment-2700465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah they did a mission from the Battle Missions book. Apparently the Daemons list is just crap and it's them bending over to make the GKs look awesome. Really unsubtle from what I heard. They tend to do this with all the battle reports. The only recent one that I remember not doing this was the one with the new Orcs and Goblins. The Orcs lost by a fair mount, while the new models did average or nothing. It was actually quite enjoyable, even though I don't play, just paint, Fantasy.

hmk17 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 They didn't do it with Space Wolves, either. They lost to Daemons. If they had really wanted to give GK's an easy match-up it would have been Tyranids.

Vindicatus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Soots- Going to give you a little advice to not openly advertise the availability of specifics, and your willingness to post them here. Not trying to be harsh, but several people have drawn the anger of the almighty =][= in the last few days, and one in particular said that things like this would end poorly for the next person seen offending. Just trying to save you some skin. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225598-new-white-dwarf/#findComment-2700696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 They use Battle Reports to showcase aspect of the army versus having a "fair fight" You'd be better off coming to the community for an objective battle review.

boreas Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 How the modeling section? Worth buying the whole magazine? Any conversions, step-by-step, etc? Phil Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225598-new-white-dwarf/#findComment-2701033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to save you some skin. sure not a problem, thanks for the warning, ill keep my head up as to the modeling section they did more of a painting step by step, instead of building. They showed some poses on how to make them look cooler i personally bought it mainly for modeling section i dont want to spoil anything, but its up too you if you want to buy the magazine :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225598-new-white-dwarf/#findComment-2701040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicatus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Not a problem. :P Just trying to save people from inadvertantly getting their faces nuked off. As for the magazine...if it's out, I might have to take a little bike ride up to the LGS to snag a copy. I always find it interesting on how different people paint things, and in what steps. I know earlier on someone had a step-by-step on how to paint lavabases (in the GK basing thread laying around someplace), talking about going from dark to light, where another I saw when the other way around from light to dark. Semantics. Should be a good read, nonetheless. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225598-new-white-dwarf/#findComment-2701044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soots Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 thanks vindicatus i was surprised that the store i usually go to had it on sale, so i picked it up it looked nice and i enjoyed it :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225598-new-white-dwarf/#findComment-2701048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvinus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'm looking forward to picking up this issue as well. I don't buy many of them anymore unless they look enticing. I'm sure the battle report will be extremely one-sided but maybe it'll have some insights into the army, or at least be engaging. I've generally been impressed with what White Dwarf has to offer, I just don't have the time & cash to get it every month.

Inquisitor Fox Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I bought my copy at one of the local GWs yesterday. The spreads of exact pictures of the sprues are useful (as it gives a good idea of what is contained exactly in each box, which bits are intended for termies vs paladins, etc), and I always find painting guides and examples useful as it gives me another reference of an "official" example in terms of paint jobs or ideas. The battle report was a good read and answered a couple of questions as to how things would pan out. Korne is gonna stink for us to combat in hand to hand, but what can ya do? Shoot them :) I do have to say it's a pretty good buy if just from the slew of examples and photos of models they have in there.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I was looking through the Golden Daemon thing at my LFGS, and that hologram on the scout squad is just awesome!
