  • Guts & Glory: Ogre Kingdoms Designers notes: They're big, they're not too bright, and they want to eat your babies: The Ogres are here and they're very, very hungry. Guy Haley talks to Warhammer Armies: Ogre Kingdoms Games Developer Phil Kelly and delves into the Ogres' lives, from their disgusting eating habits to their sneaky Gnoblar slave-pets, and the wild land they inhabit deep in the Mountains of Mourn.

Warhammer 40,000
  • Space Marine Heroes: How Space Marines are created: The Space Marines are the greatest warriors ever created, blessed with enhanced strength, speed and endurance from millennia-old technology that has its origins in the flesh of the Emperor himself. Graham McNeill explains.

  • Heavy Support: Painting Space Marine Tanks: Unlike the camouflaged tanks of the Imperial Guard, Space Marine tanks proudly display their Chapters colours and iconography. However, the techniques for painting them are the same. Taking a Rhino as an example, Mark Jones shows us how to paint a Space Marine vehicle and even adds a stencil to make things easier.

  • Plague Lords: Modelling and painting Death Guard: Mark Jones finds that the Death Guard offer plenty of opportunities for quick paint jobs and conversions. Steve Cumiskey investigates.

  • The Iron Hammer: Heavy Support for Christian Byrnes Iron Warriors: White Dwarf's very own Australian, Christian Byrne, is a keen fan of all things Chaotic. A few months ago he started a new Iron Warriors army to use in a Conflict event. The army was lovely, but after a sound drubbing at the tournament, he decided his men needed some bigger guns...

  • Devine Retribution: A Warhammer 40,000 battle report: In this clash, Witch Hunters co-authors Graham McNeill and Andy Hoare pit their giant tactical cerebellums against one another. Graham commands the forces of Inquisitor Karamazov, who is hunting Andy's heretic 13th Company Rune Priests.
