White Dwarf: Shipping Update & Previews

Games Workshop is making some adjustments to the White Dwarf Shipping schedule and previewing the May 2020 magazine.

White Dwarf is still coming out but due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the monthly magazine has gotten some shifted shipping dates. GW also disabled the option to subscribe to White Dwarf but that will be returning soon. Here is a quick breakdown of how the shipping is going to work out:

via Warhammer Community

• White Dwarf 453 will go on sale on games-workshop.com this weekend.
• White Dwarf 454 (the one we’re previewing below) is 160 pages and will go on sale in the last week of June.
• White Dwarf 455 will be coming out on 21 August, so 2020 will have 10 issues, instead of 12.
• If you’re a subscriber, we’ll add two months to your current subscription (so you’ll still get 12 issues even though there are only 10 coming out this year).
• You can now start subscriptions again, starting with issue 455, to get White Dwarf delivered straight to your door.

Now that we’re all on the same page let’s check out what’s between the covers of White Dwarf 454!

In this 160 page issue you’ll find a ton of content for both 40k, AoS and tons of games inbetween.

Warhammer 40K Previews – The Big Ones

Index Xenos: Goff Orks – Get a new look at the “biggest and ‘ardest Orks around” in this issue. You’ll find tons of lore, new datasheets for narrative play, painting guides and more.

There’s loads more in the White Dwarf including articles for Blood Bowl, Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, Underworlds, and more. There’s something for everyone in the May White Dwarf!

Again, this issue will be on sale in the last week of June so it’s a ways off – but it’s going to pack a lot in there.
