White Dwarf 385 January 2012 - Vampire Counts

Inside this month's issue:
New Releases: The latest releases from the citadel forges. Or should that be grave yards?
News: All the goings on in the hobby world. This is really just some advertising for Black Library, Codex Pictures and Fantasy Flight Games.
Born of Blood: The Vampire Counts muster their armies of the dead and march to wage war on the living. Simon Grant takes a look at some of these denizens of Sylvania including background, rules and army lists.
The Dark Arts: Simon Grant examines the dark magicks of the Necromancers that plague the lands of the living with shambling hordes of the Undead.
'Eavy Metal Showcase: The 'Eavy Metal team showcase some of the awesome Vampire Counts miniatures that they've painted. Lots of eye candy but little in terms of painting advice.
War in the Border Princes: We present the background, scenario and even a battle report based on Mannfred von Carstein's evil plan.
Standard Bearer: This month Jervis talks about never winning games. Or possibly an excuse on poor rule writing. 
Tactica: Necrons: Freshly awakened from his hibernation, Mat Ward shares his tactics and grand strategies for how to (re)conquer the galaxy in the name of the Necrons. Remember boys and girls, this is White Dwarf, so tactics are more like a summary of the unique rules available to Necrons.
Painting Workshop: Ghorgon: In this painting guide, Chad Mierzwa puts his monster painting skills into practice with the Ghorgon. End result is a table top standard that the average painter can achieve with the right paints.
Warhammer: Civil War: Jervis Johnson presents a brand-new set of rules for fighting civil wars, pitching brother against brother on the battlefields of the Warhammer world. What looks like an interesting expansion for Warhammer Fantasy which includes both rules and background.
Sorcerous Pacts: The dread counts of Sylvania are not the only generals to command the restless dead - when a Storm of Magic howls even mortal Wizards can summon the dead.
Games Day: It's the start of a new year and a new season of awesomely fun Games Days! We present the complete calendar of upcoming dates, as well as the new Games Day model. I may attend this years Games Day... have to wait and see if the missus is interested in going along.
Armies on Parade: Dan Harden's from What's New Today army of Haradrim.
Battlefield Terrain: A look at some of the terrain available from Games Workshop. 
Painting Workshop: Mortis Engine: Steve Bowerman shows us how to paint the Mortis Engine, and offer tips for painting the legions of the Undead. A step-by-step tutorial that will produce a great looking Mortis Engine.
