Warhammer Third Edition Ad from White Dwarf 110

Issue 110 of White Dwarf also contained an impressive advert of third edition Warhammer materials. The two page spread reads like an Archaeo Oldhammer gamer's checklist now, with you mentally ticking off items in your head.

Warhammer Siege? Got that!

Skeleton Horde? I have two!

Mighty Fortress? Picked one up for 50p at a car boot sale!

Rick Priestley's '80s jumper? No, not even Alan Partridge would wear that these days!

This ad didn't run in isolation either. Over the coming issues, Rogue Trader, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and Citadel Colour would all get a version.

So, how much of this stuff do you own now, eh readers?

Acceptable in the '80s: White Dwarf 110: Dwarf Fire Throwers and Dwarf Crossbows

As a follow up to this mornings visit to the '80s, I present the Warhammer content from White Dwarf 110. As has now become standard, this issue is packed with articles for all of the 'new' Games Workshop games. Warhammer gets a tiny addition, but it's a gem!

Here we see the standard Warhammer Armies square only the amusing narrative is missing from background. From this point, WD begins to feel more formal. The zany 'homemade' editorial style has been replaced with a more serious attitude to the Warhammer Worlds. Still, there is plenty of background material here. Interestingly, the actual miniature itself for the fire thrower is barely mentioned in the magazine, apart from a black and white shot on the mail order page.

Dwarfs were obviously on the minds of someone at Citadel, as we also see these nice dwarf crossbow  miniatures that make use of the plastic crossbow. I have several of these and I really do prefer these incarnations of the stunty ones. The 'cod Viking' dwarfs of these times are too ostentatious for my taste. Give me these old school 'snow white' versions any day.
