I buy it sometimes....if its overrun by Warhammer fantasy articles, I have a tendency to pass. I only buy it when its chalked full of 40k stuff....4-5 years ago, I bought it all the time, because it was only 5$....but now, for some baffling reason, its practically the price of a hardback novel!

Good magazine. I like it. It interests me most when there is material about armies I play (Orks, Wood Elves, Mordor). I also like reading about Apoc and WOTR. I'm not that interested in painting or modelling tutorials, and Battle Reports only sometimes interest me (I'd usually rather play than read about someone else playing).

All in all, it is a GREAT magazine. But because of the cost, I don't buy it every month (skip 3 months and you've saved enough to buy a box of models). Still, I have a keen interest in each month's offerings and consider it a special treat to be able to pick up a copy.

I'm just not interested. I used to buy it when I first started, and look back fondly at some of my old favourite issues - 207, 234, 238. But nowadays, I'm simply not interested in it any more.

I usually only buy it where the is a painting technique tutorial that I'm particularly interested in & want to keep for my files.

It's just trying to cover too many games. I play one GW game... so in any given magazine there is only a small percentage that even has a chance of interesting me.

Instead of a poll we could have an ongoing sweepstake to see how soon the next, "WD waddaya think Dakka?" thread pops up.
With the money raised we could buy WD and write the wrongs ourselves!

Back in the late 90s I frequently picked up copies of White Dwarf,as most issues were filled with interesting/useful articles.
However,IMO,the magazine has simply devolved into a glossy sales catalog,so I don't bother with it anymore.

I have only bought two WD issues at full price and one of those was to obtain the Spearhead rules. The magazine has eye candy in it but it's high cover price and hit and miss content keeps me away. MY LGS often has copies that are a few months old on sale for $0.50-$1.00 each so I have picked up older issues to read while bored at work. Even at the lower price there are a few issues I have only flipped through and then set aside because the focus was on an army or game system that didn't appeal to me.
