Inside this month's issue:
New Releases: A host of new plastic kits such as the Tervigon, Hive Tyrant and Thunderwolf Cavalry.
Hobby Essentials - Glue: A look at how to use the range of Citadel glues.
Devourer of Worlds: The Tyranids are an intergalactic swarm, adapted to consume all life-forms their Hive Fleets encounter. In this article we take a look at some of these Hive Fleets such as Leviathan, Jormungandr & Ouroboros, getting painting insights from 'Eavy Metal and talking to hobbyists about their own armies.
Painting Workshop: Tervigon: Steve Bowerman gets his claws (all four of them) into the new Tervigon kit, and demonstrates how to paint this mighty monster in Hive Fleet Behemoth colours. There is also a look at the rules and tactics of the new Tervigon and Tyrannofex.
The Swarmlord: Codex: Tyranids author Robin Cruddace presents the latest sightings and reported whereabouts of the terrifying alien menace know as the Swarmlord. 
A Company of Wolves: The Space Wolves Chapter is made of twelve Great Companies. In this article we feature two of the best known - those of Logan Grimnar and Ragnar Blackmane - as well as present new background from Phil Kelly about a lesser-known Wolf Lord in the form of Harald Deathwolf
Painting Workshop: Thunderwolf Cavalry: Steve Bowerman brings his formidable painting skills to bear on the new Thunderwolf kit, painting three mighty Wolf Guard riding their monstrous mounts. 
Standard Bearer: Jervis answers some frequently asked questions about the release schedule and play testing... it isn't exactly new information. But it does confirm the things we have heard on the interwebz.
Ambush at Amon Sûl: Having evaded the pursuing Nazgûl at Bree, Aragorn and the four intrepid Hobbits seek refuge amid the ruins of Weathertop. Andy Hall and Tom Hutchings join the story to refight the actions as the Ringwraiths launch their ambush by moonlight.

Vampire Counts Showcase: Following on from the Slayer Sword Gallery we get a round-up of great Vampire Counts Golden Demon winners. 
Tale of Four Gamers: Four gamers start to collect a new The Lord of the Rings army... with two forces of good and two forces of evil. I'm looking forward to the possibility on getting some tutorials on how the guys manage to paint their table top forces quickly.
