Check out the Adeptus Tech Squat style White Dwarf model from this post on the GW website. This will drive Squat conspiracy theorists nuts. I think I'll have to get this one for my Adeptus themed Space Marine army.

I want but I already have a two year subscription. Is there anyway to get one without the subscription?

At first I had my hopes up because I thought they were gonna remodel white dwarf magazine because of all the complaints... remember how it was awsome... but alas I was wrong.

I'm moving next month, so I'm getting rid of a lot of the stuff I don't need. I went through my white dwarves and scanned all of the pages of the important information I gave a crap about into my computer.

It was six pages. In a year, they have produced six pages of important information. The rest was crap.

Redo Index Astartes 6 times a year, except with new chapters. I know they don't want to do new rules, but just new background. Better yet, accept submissions for them and feature Index Astartes and armies of people that play, that would be nice.

But instead, we get one huge advertisement articles, filled with advertisement adversements. blahhh. when my subscription is done, so am I. If they can't be bothered to put articles in there that are worth reading, I can't be bothered to buy.

I can basically agree with everyone here! I mean this months WD was a huge "SEE SPACE WOLVES" and painting tutorials... that was it. BORING! I want more battle reps, army reports, photos of players armys, things of that sort! and more game info!

For all the stick WD gets I'd still prefer to read a new WD than any other Magazine on the shelf.

Well, even though you're doing the right thing for it's best use, I'll stick to andrex, it's softer and cheaper. The rest I wont say

Meh, WD gets alot of gak, but its not allways bad.
Ill still buy it from time to time, but i just think they spend far too much of the mag advertising.
Maybe if they threw ni some new sections, like maybe a fans armie section.

Just a 2 page spread of a randomly chosen army sent in by people.
Maybe if they have the room then they could do more.

Maybe a full konvershun klinik again

atleast 1 decent batrep, maybe 2?

also, they could start throwing new release gak in a small booklet with the mag, that way it doesent fill alot of space on something we know exists allready.

However, this is a limited edition halloween white D and black gobbo
Speaks for its self really by the looks of em, so no, squats aint back yet.

If it follows the current "subscription" model's pricing, you can purchase one if you are a current subscriber or when you start subscribing. It is not a freebie, it must be purchased. I might get this one.

If GW is high on their own BS, they might have too many on their hands and they'll start giving them away as prizes for in-stre tourneys or painting comps....I hope. There is no way I'm dropping 10,000 yen for this figure.
