I doubt the studio painters follow this, or any other hobbyist-level guides.

Oh, and what do they do then? Mist the paint on in perfect layers using their fine telekinesis, honed by years of eating boiled rice one grain at a time with no hands?

More layers, more blending, more details.

Because the magazine is a reboot as with the article, this means we have to go through all the run of the mill how to paint articles that have been done in the not so distant past.

Hope this doesn't take away from Duncan

I think most hobby magazines are cyclic in nature to reflect new blood joining.

I remember comments being made previously that if someone start seeing the same kind of articles in WD or other hobby magazine, they may not need the mag anymore.

**Ragnar69**

They have probably revamped the paint range since WD350, so now we get at least the current paint names without looking in conversion charts

**MaxT**

White Dwarf 350 was released over 7 years ago as well, it's reasonable to think the player base has changed a fair bit in that time !

**Gen.Steiner**

Ooooooh. This bodes well!

**Ghaz**

Another tidbit from the new White Dwarf:

**Mymearan**

Oh man an interview with Jes! My hero

**em_en_oh_pee**

For reference, Aiden is on Instagram and is pretty great to follow!

**BrookM**

Jes Goodwin interview? Oh yes!

**Lord Damocles**

Painting Faces has been done numerous times before.

To be fair, though, you can hardly expect people to say, 'Gee willikers; I sure do want to learn how to paint faces. I'll just go find an out of print White Dwarf from [insert large number of years here] ago!'

It's not like it's the first time they've interviewed Jes, either.

**BrookM**

Don't ruin the moment you sourpuss.

**Gen.Steiner**

But each interview will reveal different things, and reflect his opinion and thoughts at that time.

I am looking forwards to reading that interview, and am keen to see how the Genestealer Cult is covered.

**Knockagh**

I'm just crossing my fingers for another drawn cover, I reckon if we get two past we are on a home straight.

You should be happy then. (Next month is a photo)

**Knockagh**

That's awesome

**silverstu**

Looking forward to the Jes Goodwin interview!

**Gen.Steiner**

I really wish that November was a painting. But October's Magus looks badass.

**Jehan-reznor**

Is that Magus air guitaring with hi staff?

We've had 8 editions of fantasy and around 6-7 of 40k and hundreds of white dwarfs. Clearly there is going to be an element of recycling.

That said, the painting article style is different and there are those that don't have older versions, would enjoy a refresher or are new to the hobby. Its all a huge welcomed change frpm the pointlessness that was WD weekly.

**xttz**

Will the new WD list all releases for October, or just the first week's worth?

edit - yes it apparently does list them all

**Motograter**

Anything about the new battlemat in here?

**Mymearan**

Battlemat?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

On the upcoming pricing list for stores along with the genestealer stuff (but no images from anybody, or conformation of what material it is yet)

Battle Mat: City Ruins - 50GBP

**Mymearan**

Didn't see anything about it, no.

**Motograter**

Its supposedly a 4' x 4 cityfight mat. I assume neoprene but that's just a guess

**Thraxas Of Turai**

New textured paints, sadly with microbeads in them:

Why sadly? Microbeads are awesome.

This stuff is the absolute easiest way to do loads of bases and the texture is fantastic. I assume these new Citadel paints will be very, very similar.

All GW has done lately is repack a lot of those "secret-not-secret" technical paints that people used. Like the crackle medium, clear red, and now these.

**Motograter**

After this year microbeads are illegal in the UK at least that's what was on the news. Stuff like toothpaste that has them will need to reformulate as will these paints surely

**Davor**

What is this microbeads, and why do some people not like them and why would they be illegal in the UK?

As I understand it, the UK ban is only for cosmetics and cleaning products, so GW won't have to reformulate.
