The first issue of White Dwarf in 2024 is on its way, and it’s bursting with awesome content for all sorts of Warhammer fans. The Slidecrown Sundering campaign reaches its epic finale, and the Bunker has new missions for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar to bolster your collection of battleplans.
This month’s headline is the debut of a whole new Combat Patrol, with full rules for using a balanced team of Space Marine stealth specialists led by a capable Phobos Lieutenant. This force is designed to be usable alongside all other Combat Patrols, and experienced Space Marine players may already have all of the miniatures they need to use it.
If you’re not already knee-deep in your Chapter’s vanguard, all it takes to build Strike Team Solarien is a Phobos Librarian and the contents of the Vanguard Task Force box – which also gets you extra miniatures on top of the ones you need.
This Combat Patrol has a much greater focus on long-ranged combat than the regular Strike Force Octavius, with plenty of movement tricks to get them scooting around the battlefield and capturing objectives. Without the benefit of Terminator armour, they’re much more vulnerable to enemy attacks, and must make the most of their stealth abilities to avoid a sticky end.
White Dwarf is the first place you’ll be able to get hold of the rules for Strike Team Solarien, so be sure to pick up a copy. They’ll be following in the app and on WarCom in a few months time.
That’s not all from the 41st Millennium in this issue either, as Index Xenos takes a deep look at the Necrons’ mighty Sautekh Dynasty – headed up by the infamous Imotekh the Stormlord. Imotekh is a major player in the upcoming Crusade: Pariah Nexus book, and it pays to know what makes the metal monarch tick – whether you’re serving his rule or resisting it.
Tale of Four Warlords returns to the Mortal Realms as our commanders add new allies to their forces – by building and painting an entire Vanguard box each! A new Warlord even joins the fray halfway through, so the Stormcast Eternals have a lot of catching up to do.
Elsewhere, there’s heaps of hobby and gameplay content for you to enjoy, including shiny new rules for the recent crop of Cities of Sigmar characters to use in Warhammer Quest: Cursed City. Taking a Freeguild Marshal and the members of his Command Corps into Ulfenkarn is sure to put a spanner in Radukar’s plans, and give you all kinds of new scenarios to try out.
