White Dwarf will be changing from monthly to weekly, meaning releases will be spread across the space of a month rather than all at once. The change will mean army updates will now start with the codex/armybook with a few new releases (kit Re-do's) on the first week and bigger or newer kits the second week. With the hobbit releases on the third week and other releases on the fourth though how pre-orders will work is still yet to be seen. White dwarf will be smaller with about just 34 pages and prices will also drop to about £2.40 in the UK per weekly issue. All hobby related articles except painting guides on the new releases will be removed. The new monthly magazine will focus on just 40k and fantasy hobby like modeling, painting, converting etc.. This will be bigger than the current white dwarf but will also be around £7.50 UK price. This will feature things like army on parade and army of the month style displays aswell as hobby tips, conversions, paint schemes and much more.This means people can just buy the issues that feature products they are interested in rather than a whole white dwarf, and those who prefer the hobby side can buy a magazine just dedicated to hobby rather than advertisements. The anouncement is set to be this saturday, with the new style of magazines starting from the first of February. So what do you think about Games Workshop bringing back proper hobby articles and releasing things weekly again?

There is a thread on this, but I don't think that your information has been covered? You should make this post there

£2.40 for 34 pages that almost exclusively contains marketing material?

My local supermarket gives me a similar document in the local free paper every week for nothing.

I am slightly more intrigued by the monthly thing though, I will at least be interested enough to monitor reactions when the first issue lands and see whether people feel it is worth the investment. (Lol.. ever the optimist me!)

The iPad newsstand thing for WD now reads "warhammer visions, annual subscription £44.99"

Yea its steep, but atleast you dont need to buy a full magazine when you only want pieces of it, note this is not rumours it is official from a source.

Any one with a whitedwarf subscription will instead get the new warhammer visions instead of white dwarf for no extra cost. But white dwarf visions will not be included.
