CWF Game Cast

We scoured the new WD and have chosen 5 Quick Picks for your perusal. If you hate reading the entire mag, have a short attention span, or just want the best here’s 5 sections you can’t miss. Our top pick is the Middle Earth in Flames.

Don’t forget to read the complete table of contents for WD #335 from our article Inside White Dwarf #335 Dec. 2007.

1. New Releases - The Blood Bowl Omnibus p. 8. Blood Bowl is a great game and being able to read three great novels combined into one for $11.99 is a great buy.
2. Apocalypse Battle Report - Valley of Blood p. 18-37. The Apocalypse batreps are incredibly reading. This one shows a game played at a level most players can mimic. I want some Area Denial Nodes.
3. Middle-Earth in Flames p. 40-49. Campaign rules are always fun reading. Roughly 26% of you guys love to play in leagues. There’s something about a league that breathes life into a game. Map campaigns are really good at this and this is a great introduction to LoTR campaign play.
4. Golden Demon 2007 p. 66-75. Some of the nicest painted models I have ever seen. I love the France, Italy, and Gamesday LA winners.
5. Ordering Direct p. 130-135. There are some great gift ideas for all price ranges. Now is to buy what your favorite gamer wants.

We scoured the new WD and have chosen 5 Quick Picks for your perusal. If you hate reading the entire mag, have a short attention span, or just want the best here’s 5 sections you can’t miss.

Our top pick is the Modelling Workshop: Building the Baneblade (Part One).

1. New Releases - High Elf Lord on Dragon p. 4-5. This is such a great plastic model and you have a ton of options for just $45. It is truly a highlight of the new HE range.
2. Battle Report - Invasion of Yvresse p. 46-65. Batreps make great reading while on break at work or trying to discover new tactics. This one is quite exciting.
3. Lord of the Rings Tactica: Monsters p. 80-85. There’s some great suggestions for using LoTR monsters, which carry over to other systems too. Remember the Monster ABCs!
4. Modelling Workshop: Building the Baneblade (Part One) p. 86-93. This step by step assembly walk through is a gem. Many players will be fielding the new plastic Baneblade in Apocalypse battles. Now, they can learn the best way to put it together.
5. Chicago Golden Demon Honorable Mentions p. 113-114. The plethora of primarchs is truly impressive. Lionel Johnson, Khan, and many more. They all look incredible!
