Isn't the reason microbeads are banned because they pollute the environment? You wouldn't flush this down the drain so I don't see it as a problem.

What about the water you used to rinse the brush in (the fact that it can be used with a brush is listed as a plus.)

It's not going to be a lot, but I dare say each use of toothpaste with microbeads isn't a lot individually either.

I won't be using it, mostly because I have about a gajillion different basing options already, but the microbeads would give me pause as well.

The microbeads that are banned are only of a certain size too. Basically the stuff in skin care and other products that are too small to get caught by city filtration systems. The ones in the paint image linked on the other page look large enough they'd never enter into the water supply.

I like the comic and seriously consider buying it. The art is nice.

Not sure is this really correct thread but maybe somebody knows answers:

a) is this available only in specific gaming stores or is it more widely available?
b) what requirements it HAS for android app? Says android 4.1 but my 6.0.1 can't install it. What other requirements white dwarf app has?

Unlike september october looks to have enough content I might find interesting so am considering buying one. But obviously I need to be able to buy it. Don't have miniature store nearby, not paying postage fees for sake of one magazine and app seems to be not usable with my current equipment(weird that galaxy s6 is insufficient but there you go...)

Yeah,
Micro beads are tiny tiny bits of plastic used in face scrubs and toothpastes to give them a rough texture to scrub.

All this plastic goes down the drain and into the sea, tons of it every day! these tiny beads are now found in lots of fish bodies...

The UK is making it illegal in products you wash down the drain, because other non plastic grit options are available.

But texture paint is going on miniature bases and not down the drain it should be ok.

Panic...

Indeed, it's all a load of micro-bollox really; at least where the GW paints are concerned.

I liked the new WD this month, the comic was nice but I won't be getting the full thing (not after the recent Deathwatch Graphic novel; that was pants).

Jes article, good.
Tale of 4 wargamers continues.
Genestealer Cult battle report looks nice but not read it yet.
Golden Demon stuff has some nice pictures.
GEnestealer release is quite well covered.

Still happy with the Sub.

a) I don't know if you get in everywhere, but the bigger newsagents should carry it. I have seen last months issue in a newsagent in Vienna airport and I heard is was sold in WHSmith as well.

I disagree. I don't like it at all. The cover is horrible.

Well technically some of it is going down the drain. When you are cleaning the brushes. But still not as much as other products like health care or beauty products that was said before. It's not 100% not going down the drain but still some of it will be going down the drain. I guess what is acceptable going down the drain.

Yeah, issue 0 cover is bad, but the inside is good. Issue 1 cover is good as well I think (not 100% sure which one it will be as they show several)

I don't care for that cover, but then, sometimes comics have dumb covers and are still a good read. There is a rule about not judging a comic by something, i dunno what, but I think my post covers it.

Also, being much larger, they will probably get caught in the filtration of your local water treatment plant and not get into the rivers and streams like the cosmetic micro beads.

So, perhaps nothing to worry about? Move on?

Weird, has GW released a new product called "The Environment"? It seems to be taking up a lot of space on this hobby rumors thread.

Maybe I will give it a shot then. Been ages since I read a comic. I think I quit in the early or mid 90s when I stopped collecting then.

Those tiny beads that are in hygiene products do, but these are probably bigger.

It'll be all of them. This isn't a new thing, most comics these days have4 variants: 2 retail covers, a retailer incentive cover, and a subscription cover.

The new Power Rangers comic had 7 cover variants alone for issue #1.

Deleted. Saw contents summary in another thread.

Is this the first time that a release from Gw proper has not been covered in a white dwarf. There is no mention of the mat or the space marine bundle.

WD is not going to be previewing everything now, at least some of it is going to be stuff that came out in the previous month, so I bet we'll see it in the November issue

Disappointed by the map, but the White Dwarf looks like it'll be good. Picking my copy up shortly!

It's a cloth mat? Else why would you need to iron it?

Are the ironing additional features on to the map?

The box top right looks like it doesn't have any buildings roads?

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.

My now ex-wife used to subscribe to Gardener's World magazine. Each month it would give seasonally appropriate tips "Now is the time to be planting your lettuces", etc. I always wondered why she would ever need more than 12 issues!

Well, I got my copy today. I liked it. Lots of re-readability and some lovely pictures.

Terrible and egregious error though - they labelled an Arvus Lighter as an Aquila Lander! FOOLS!

Is it expected that if you sub to the Magazine you get it on or before release? Or is that just if your lucky? Still no magazine, US resident...

Unfortunately it rather depends on your local postal service. They send them out early. I live in Japan and I have got both of mine on the Thursday.

Got my first one several days early, still waiting for this one.

Our PO is generally pretty reliable, so I'm guessing there's a certain degree of variation on when they're sent.

I live in the US and received mine today. I hope that becomes the standard. Obviously I would want it even earlier but so long as I get it before it hits the shelves at my local GW I will be appeased.

I noticed this, school boy error! Although it has rocket launcher which the lighter version doesn't have, maybe they are making a distinction, although I doubt it! Loving the new WD though, super Mag

Mine arrived at my parent's house a few days ago. Germany. Doesn't help the fact that I not living there anymore, but I have to move soon and don't know if you can change addresses, so i thought better safe than sorry At least my 4 and 6 y/o nephews who suddenly took an interest in my minis this summer will be able toenjoy it at the family meet-up tomorrow.

It's definitely better than the weeklies. Not a patch on some of the earlier issues during 4th/6th 40K/WFB, but hey.

Is there anywhere in the U.S. to order a copy of White Dwarf so that I don't have to pay exorbitant shipping? If I order from GW it's a $9 magazine with $10 shipping (scandalous.)
