White Dwarf - March 2013 Chaos Daemons

This month's White Dwarf review is by Stahly from Tale of Painters. With half a year of the new styled White Dwarf, it appears that they have corrected some of the problems the previous incarnation suffered. This isn't to say there isn't room for improvement. Or that all of the content is great. As some of the Tale of Painter comments pointed out, the absence of 'Eavy Metal tutorials is sorely missed. Hopefully the new approach continues to be upwards... but this is Games Workshop.

This year is passing by quick... my twenty third birthday is almost here, still haven't gotten my license, painted a miniature with a brush OR set a date for the wedding. At least there are ten more months to go...

The Itch of the Butchers Nails by The Damned Artificer from The BnC - These brushes are just brilliant. It would be so awesome if someone like Secret Weapon Miniatures or Masquerade Miniatures actually made a silicone brush of these for us mortals.

Champion of Tzeentch by John Blanche from Spiky Rat Pack - It is by John Blanche... do I need any more reason to include it?
