>New 40k comics are being made DEFF SKWADRON FOLLOW UP WHEN?

Are there many Warhammer Fantasy/40K comics? The only ones I've seen seem quite old... which now that I think of it seems really strange to me. The settings are bursting with visually neat stuff, and comics are less complicated for them to produce than something like a tv series or a movie.

Are there a bunch I just haven't heard of? If not why do you suppose they don't do them?

There are quite a lot. Rather old, about 10 years old for most of them.

I know that the HH general used to have a mega link with plenty if not all of them, but I think it went kaboom for no reason.

I know that GW has been re-editing the old ones this year, I bought Deff Skwadron in my local GW. Pretty sure you can either find them online to read for free, or you can look on Black Library, they are probably being sold there as well.

Damnation Crusade, Deff Skwadron and the Redeemer are my 3 favorites, and widely recognised as some of the best 40k comics we have if you want to start.

Inferno! and Warhammer Monthly both ran comics. They've also put out a few between and afterwards, including a couple for the Horus Heresy.

>why do you suppose they don't do them?
Paying an artist to do that much work is more expensive than paying an author to write a book, I guess. Or more likely they just forgot about them until now.

>>48616321
Huh, they're returning White Dwarf to monthly? Guess they overestimated interest in their weekly mini-catalogue.

>>48616637
Silly anon, you have to keep up with the news, go and like the official fb pages for 40k, FW, WD, BL and AoS, or at least the ones that interest you.

GW has taken a turn for the much better recently concerning their community.

As to the WD monthly:

So, after yesterday’s announcement, it seems there are a few questions some of of you are asking. Well, here’s the info…

1. What’s the price of the new White Dwarf?
The cover price of the new 156-page White Dwarf will be:

UK £5.99 | Euro €8 | Poland 30zł | Switzerland 14CHF | Sweden 70kr | Norway 65kr | Denmark 60kr

USA $9 | Canada $12 | Australia $15 | New Zealand $18

Japan ¥1,400 | China ¥60 | Hong Kong HK$82 | Malaysia RM37 | Singapore SG$14

(So, as you can see, the early-bird subscriptions really are a great saving. Check them out at: www.games-workshop.com.)

2. Will there be a digital edition?
Yes, absolutely! More news coming soon. (If you have a current digital subscription which ends after the end of July, then at that time please contact your local customer service team by phone or email and we'll see you right.)

3. Will I be able to get White Dwarf in my local newsagents?
White Dwarf will be available from all Games Workshop and Warhammer stores, independent stockists and – as the old saying goes – the better sort of newsagents everywhere. Ask them to order it.

4. What languages will the new White Dwarf be published in?
English, French and German.

Running their own in-house comic publishing was too expensive for little gain, comics have never been super profitable. What they're doing now is a licensing deal, letting a legit comic publisher produce and release Warhammer comics. It takes the cost of production off GW's shoulders while still netting them some profit in royalties and licensing.

>>48616321
it better not suck

>>48616662
>6 quid
> for a mag
Jesus, it better be fucking good

>>48616984
It hadn't been in a while.

>>48616984
Well it's a 156 pages mag.
With all the good stuff there was in the good ole' days apparently.
So.. I guess it'll be worth the price?

Doubt it. These days they can't do anything remotely creative, like all the terrain has to be 100% official Citadel™, even the fucking table.

Bring back the fat bloke.

>>48617492
But they don't sell tables.

I've checked.

Mite b cool.

>>48617987
shit, it actually looks just as good as the 90s comics!

>>48617987
Holy shit, it actually looks alright

Inb4 chaos is a saturday morning cartoon villain again

>>48617987
Chaos Marines have the wrong back packs.

>>48618046
Can you really have a "wrong" backpack?

After so long fighting, all their original MkII backpacks are probably gone

Maybe they found a giant shipment of regular space marine backpacks somewhere?

>>48618046
It's only the guys from the HH who still have the old pack design; no reason chaos marines can't use scavenged gear.

Looks great honestly. I'm optimist now. Good idea anon.

The coloured version is even better, I'm hyped as fuck.

>>48618062
>Can you really have a "wrong" backpack?

Yes.

>After so long fighting, all their original MkII backpacks are probably gone

Then why do all the CSM models come with the anvilus backpacks that were used during the Heresy?

>>48616984
Nigga that's as cheap as it was when it was 150 plus pages long before.

>>48618046
They're Iron Warriors using Iron pattern armor.

Fuck you.

>>48618202
Because the GW has not updated the kits in ages and has given repeated examples of chaos marines scavenging.

Jesus stop being so picky on unimportant details man. Especially wheb you're wrong.

>>48618202
Because the tabletop isn't nearly representative of the fluff, they only have the anvillus backpacks to make them distinct from regular space marines.

You didn't seriously think that a guardsman was the same height as a space marine with a watermelon for a head, and that laspistols were the size of a mans torso did you?

>>48618208
Especially since it'll be the same size as it was before just like explained above

>>48617492
WD has not been good since fat bloke left. I miss the days of short stories and fluff pieces, articles about interesting things that people have done, and quirky scenarios to try out. Rather than the bland painting masterclasses filled catalogue it turned into quite quickly.

>>48618266
It's going to get better after September.
Or so I hope.

>for years WD was almost exclusively about informing people about future releases
>it will no longer do that
It seems like they're forcing themselves to print something of value, almost.
