Changes to White dwarf and new release schedule? - manrogue - 09-01-2014 Spotted this today and thought was worth a share- Quote:http://www.beastsofwar.com/games-workshop/games-workshops-white-dwarf-magazine-changing/ RE: Changes to White dwarf and new release schedule? - manrogue - 09-01-2014 Really interested to see if this means small weekly releases rather than once a month large releases with regards to new product (ie models) RE: Changes to White dwarf and new release schedule? - Simian - 09-01-2014 Could be an interesting change. Wonder how that will work for people with Subscriptions then? and cost of a pot of paint per week, so 2.50 per week? theyre having a laugh. RE: Changes to White dwarf and new release schedule? - manrogue - 09-01-2014 Lol, yep the cost is a bit high for a 28 page weekly magazine! Can't see them getting many pages of articles in that, i wonder if it will still have the 5 pages of every GW store in the world? RE: Changes to White dwarf and new release schedule? - Gareth - 09-01-2014 White Dwarf is dying, and I could understand a change, but this would kill GW. How many times have you bought into an army, then a month later, wishes you had held on, because you prefer the following months releases. Going weekly with 1 week lead up, you will know the following weeks items, at the same time you could buy this weeks. Many people would be waiting for the latest shiney, and not buying the current one. Besides going print heavy for a company trying to drive the digital market forward, is a strange step.

It needs to be a magazine that includes rules, campaign ideas, new short stories as well as painting guides and terrain articles, like the old white dwarf years ago. They have bastardised the magazine so much, making you pay for all those cool new rules etc separately with things like crusade of fire, data slates etc that the magazine is pointless - hence the change, it must be losing money. I don't think the visions magazine will work, the weekly white dwarf might stay, if only to give them a store presence in things like WHSmith for advertising, but I remain to be convinced it'll be worth buying. RE: Changes to White dwarf and new release schedule? - Simian - 10-01-2014 Im still not sure i understand what is going to be in each version of the magazine. guess i'll wait and see RE: Changes to White dwarf and new release schedule? - manrogue - 10-01-2014 Yeah, i am interested to see what is going to happen with the new magazine. As always when a reboot is happening, a lot of people are saying the weekly one will be a catalogue and the monthly one will be a return to the old style, articles, painting guides and features. But that was said on the reboot last year as well! If it returned to the days of past, with decent articles, rules, terrain making etc i would a get a subscrition in a heartbeat. Sadly i don't think it will.
