WHITE DWARF
DECEMBER 2013
OPENING
SALVO
Jes Bickham
Editor
December’s an exciting
month for fans of
Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, as
three new supplements for the games
have arrived to offer new ways to expand
and use your collections of Citadel
Miniatures. Stronghold Assault and
Escalation allow you to, respectively, add
more big guns and fortifications to your
Warhammer 40,000 armies, and use Lord of
War units such as the Necron Tesseract
Vault in ‘regular’ games of Warhammer
40,000. All of these have sent the White
Dwarf team and friends into a frenzy of
brushwork as they add Wall of Martyrs
Imperial Defence Lines, Baneblades and
other Super-heavy units to their
collections; check out page 52 for more.
Hopefully you’ll be inspired to do the
same – we’d love to see pictures of your
miniatures if so.
Sigmar’s Blood, meanwhile, is a narrative
campaign book for Warhammer that has
had Dan and Matt captivated; you can
WHITE DWARF

read about them playing their way through
it (and the splendid additions they
painted for their Empire and Vampire
Counts armies) over on page 62.
There’s also a raft of gorgeous new
miniatures for
The Hobbit: The Desolation of
Smaug™
(and a fantastic new expansion
book) out in December.
Legolas Greenleaf™
and
Tauriel™,
in particular, are two of the
most exquisite plastic characters we’ve
seen; you can witness these and more
marvellous
Middle-earth™
new releases
from page four onwards.
All of which leaves me to wish you all
happy reading, and also to manfully stifle
a tear and say goodbye to our deputy
editor Andrew Kenrick, as he leaves White
Dwarf for pastures new this month. Best of
luck for the future, Mr Kenrick!
