[Archive] This Months WD

Hammerhand:

Got this months WD and one of the pages (the painting masterclass) is completely in italian (I think). Is this just mine or is it everybodies?

My shiny senses are also itching with the shiny new pointy ears. They’re so shiny and, well, shiny!

Must…not…give…in…to…shiny…senses…AAAAAAArrrrrrrrrggggh

Dark Haven:

Stand strong!

Let Hashut’s fire engulf these…these…pointyearedpanziesofflowerypinkandnskirtandcheapabilites!

wallacer:

Fortunately I can’t stand Elves, so that should save me some money.

God help me when the VC are released though…

The last issue was a disgrace, and as well as a letter to the editor, I cancelled my subscription and got a re-fund as a result.

I don't have the issue anymore but if I remember correctly, 52% of the page count was adverts, the rest was apocalypse barring a snidey LotR painting guide and the quite frankly boring Tactica article for warhammer.

Kera foehunter:

hammerhand your my hero!!! Thats putting it to the man.

Willmark:

I’m with you HH I don’t have a subscription either. The reason same as yours, its all advertisments. So I wait read online whether its a good issue to get then evaluate the content before purchasing.

Tallhat:

WD has gone fro ma very good magazine to utter trash since Paul Sawyer left it. It is merely an advertisment these day. It is such a shame to see waht has happened to it.

Pyro Stick:

Im going to get this months and decembers issue and thats it. December will be my last issue until chaos dwarfs are released or until it completely changes. Last issue made me sick. Apocalype is the biggest piece of crap ever. Hmm lets put loads of tanks in one box, add �100 to the price and call it a new game!!! Yeah!! Sounds like a plan!!! Not!!!

Willmark:

With the demise of Dragon on the D&D side I wonder how long White Dwarf goes on. Its essentially a los-leader for GW. I work in field that does uses large volumes of commercial printing and I have to tell you: full color and that page count, costs a whole lot mor then $6.00 US per issue.

Pyro Stick:

Over in the UK it is $8…

Canix:

I gave up buying that rag about issue120 it went from being an interesting hobby magazine to expensive advert.Although some issues since are worthwhile most is regurgitated trash.

Looks impressive, fails to deliver:mad

Hammerhand:

I had this to say in my letter to the Editor with regards to the last few issues of my subscription before cancelling it and asking for a refund:

“The feeling of excitement I got when seeing the latest issue of White Dwarf in my letter box was only comparable to the feeling of dissapointment I got when I read it.”

“52% of the last issue was adverts. It had the entertainment value of reading the Argos”

Kera foehunter:

i like the part where they put it in plastic wrap so you cant see it before you buy it.

cornixt:

That is the biggest reason I stopped buying way back. They didn’t even say on the front what was inside and if I bought a random issue it usually had very little of interest in it so I didn’t bother.

Yes, I always thought that was monumentally sneaky as well.

I've had a subscription for the last 4 years, this months was the first I've bought from a shop, I thought the plastic was a one off because of the "freebie". I guess they were laughing inwardly at the subscription place when I told them I wanted to have a look at it before I bought it in future.

Uzkul Werit:

Let Hashut’s fire burn White Dwarf altogether. I could play better than the guys in those battle reports and that’s saying something.
