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 Conquest of Empires article despite the gigantic error on p. 62 with the incorrect web link. The correct URL is http://us.games-workshop.com/news/whitedwarf/WD337/WD337.htm. Shame on you GW for this huge gaffe.
Don’t forget to read the complete table of contents for WD #337 from our article Inside White Dwarf #337 Feb. 2008.
Title: White Dwarf 337 Date: Feb. 2008 Cost: $6
- The Serpent Kingdom: Battle Report: Strike of the Serpent! p. 36-55. Nice batrep to showcase the Harad releases. It is nice to see GW bring the focus back to LoTR after all these months of 40k and Apocalypse. Makes me want to see Return of the King again.
- The Horus Heresy/Interview: Dan Abnett p. 56-59. This at a glance of all the Horus Heresy novels is worth the peek. The informational blurbs help to encapsulate each novel. Dan Abnett’s interview provides some wonderful insight into the Black Library and all this fluff.
- Conquest of Empires p. 60-65. I’m a sucker for campaign coverage. I used to love reading the old articles about people’s fantasy campaigns and I also love the Mighty Empires kit. This snapshot of the GW studio campaign ends too soon. I wish they could have spent more time with a monthly installment. But, this is quality. Only downside, and its a big one, is the huge gaffe with the wrong URL.
- Modelling Workshop: Imperial Baneblades p. 88-95. When Apocalypse first came out Baneblade variants were shown across the net. This article shows how treadheads can convert their baneblades to fill the perfect niche. There’s something for everyone regardless of skill. The behind the scenes on Yarrick’s Fortress of Arrogance makes this worth reading all its own.
- Advance Orders p. 118-119. Shiny new product always leaves us with some drool on our mouths. But, this month it is very close to home. In case you couldn’t tell by my last podcast I am a Vampire Counts fanatic! The peeks of the upcoming Vampire Counts releases makes me very happy.

Yesterday something drastic happened that has caused there to be no podcast today. My brand new iMac needs to be in the shop. Somehow, a disc is stuck in the optical drive and requires some love and attention from the kind people at the Apple store.
Only a few weeks ago the podcast had come back from its lengthy hiatus and I promise that today’s absence will not oft be repeated. I’ve searched high and low for another machine to podcast on to no avail. I know missing a week is a pain but to make up for it I have compiled a list of things you can do in the time you would have spent on listening to today’s podcast.
- Play World of Warcraft. I have become addicted to this game as a result of the free trial I got for my Mac. I’ve tried the trial on my XP too but I honestly believe the game plays better, much better, on the Mac. I never thought I’d say a game plays, never mind plays better, on Mac but here it is.
- Read/Re-Read the January ‘08 White Dwarf and the new No Quarter. White Dwarf has great coverage of the new Space Orks, yes I still call them Space Orks, and a kickass batrep. If you’re not sure what parts to read then glance at our Quick Picks and see what’s Inside White Dwarf. That’ll help you find your way.
- Try a new game. There’s loads of new games out there to play. Some are good and some not so much. Give Sitting Ducks a shot, or make a wacky machine with Infernal Contraption. Why not see what board games out there fancy you?
- Visit your FLGS. After the holidays you may still have some extra $$. Head over to your FLGS, pick up that shiny box you’ve been wanting. Or, just get a game in. Maybe some 40k or Warmachine, perhaps a little Fantasy or Hordes. There’s LotR and Confrontation and AT-43 too. Maybe you’d like to do a Yu-gi-oh duel or lay the smack down in Magic.
- Paint your models. This is always on the back burner for me but sometimes finding the time to do this is the hardest part. You now have 30 minutes so get painting.
- Catch up on the articles here at the CWF Game Cast. January has seen lots of vid articles. Sit back, relax, and watch what’s new.
Once again I apologize for not having a podcast for you today. Once my Mac comes home everything will be back to normal. Thank you for your patience and understanding and as always keep on gaming!

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 Design Studio A Year in Review/What the Future Holds.
Don’t forget to read the complete table of contents for WD #336 from our article Inside White Dwarf #336 Jan. 2008.
- Tactica Aeronautica p. 15. Nice expansion for Forgeworld’s Aeronautica Imperialis. Provides a clix atmosphere to 40k air combat and adds a healthy dose of Tau.
- Waaagh! Da Orks: Design Notes p. 22-35. The who, what, when, where, how and why of the new Orks. This is complete with sample list, breakdown or sprues, and painting guide. It is a one stop overview for all Ork Warbosses.
- Design Studio: A Year in Review/What the Future Holds p. 60-65. If you spent 2007 on Mars you missed all the great GW achievements. Improved customer service, Apocalypse, and tons of codices just to name a few. A terrific peek at 2008’s many surprises is included too!
- Lord of the Rings: Movie Moments p. 66-71. This pick is dedicated to scoper22 who reminded us of how kickass LotR is. The game is all about the epic, in value or scope, moments portrayed on screen. You will get loads of ideas for recreating your favorite movie moments in this wonderful article.
- Warhammer Tactica: Flying Creatures p. 84-89. Much ink has been devoted to 40k of late. But, we mustn’t forget Warhammer Fantasy. Flying monsters are terrifying if used properly. Thankfully this article will set you on the straight and narrow.
