You are absolutely right - I got that Slaughterpriest right here. Don't remember the Stormcast, but would make sense and sounds about right. I still miss this kind of freebie tho.

Considering GW seem to have a process that is cheap enough to churn out free marketing minis it does suprise me WD doesn't get any.  Considering they are used to drive footfall in stores a WD model works well.  Get it free on the mag and a page inside the mag saying pop in to store to learn how to build, paint and play.

Man, not a good choice of miniature to plaster on the cover for the Space Marine special. Cripes that Titus is such a horrible model. A shame, Space Marine 2 almost made me like Primaris. Almost.

the non illustrated covers they now do are rubbish compared to the old ones

I would imagine logistics play a part in that decision. Shipping 10000 magazines costs less than shipping 10000 magazines plus 10000 sprues.

Transfers are in the issue, despite what people were suggesting. Pretty much a miscellaneous greeblies sheet.

Looks like chapter symbols for the Mentors, Celestial Lions, Relictors, and Imperial Talons at least. Anyone recognise any of the other symbols? Some of them look like they can be combined to make a custom symbol.

I think White Dwarf's job should be to cater to people who DON'T play Space Marines.

The job of White Dwarf is to be "Consoom GW Products: The Magazine". There's a relatively large Marines release that's going to happen, and I'm pretty sure next month they'll have more focus on the Squats.

I'm going to get multiple issues for that transfer sheet. I see a lot of things I like.

When does this hit stores

Oh yeah, these will be insanely useful to make composite icons, accentuating, miscellaneous campaign icons. Especially the inclusion of regular skulls and red skulls for standard command and sergeant icons.

Combine this with any of the other chapter sheets and you can construct an insane amount of variation.

Seeing a bunch of swords and wings, pretty useful to me. Red swords especially should be good for 1st Legion.

The Dark Angels Lieutenant symbol is a red sword.
