Jes Bickham
Editor
Happy birthday to us!
Yes, White Dwarf is
a staggering 400 issues young this month,
so we’ve celebrated by bringing you a
bumper-sized issue full of hobby
goodness, not least a wealth of wonderful
new miniatures for the Tau Empire (and
some words of wisdom from notable
ex-White Dwarf editors on page 158). If
you’ve not yet been ensnared by the
charms of this dynamic young race – a
marked contrast to the gothic nature of the
Imperium and the darkness enshrined in
many of their foes – then one look at the
Riptide and new Broadside Battlesuits
should have you picking up your bonding
knife and pledging yourself to the Greater
Good immediately.
mastermind Matt Holland. We also wanted
to make our very own battlefield on which
to showcase the Tau in their inaugural
battle report (featuring Shadowsun’s
Firestrike Hunter Cadre, painted by Dan,
against my own Tyranids), which you can
see on page 58. The entire White Dwarf
team decamped for two days to the
Warhammer World laboratory to build the
board – dubbed the Agrellan Refinery
– under the guidance of hobby
mastermind Dave Andrews and Forge
World fanatics Mark Bedford and Phil
Stutcinskas. We had a great time making it
– and playing on it – and so the Agrellan
Refinery forms the subject of this issue’s
Battleground, too (page 118).
And with that, I must repair to the White
Dwarf bunker for a rematch against Dan’s
Tau. The Hive Mind hungers...
In fact, so excited are we by the new Tau
miniatures that Adam has penned an
eight-page feature all about the
development of the Tau battlesuit, in
which he talks to such design luminaries as
Jes Goodwin and latter-day Tau
