White Dwarf Issue #121: The Mightiest of Heroes

White Dwarf reviews operate differently than other Blood of Kittens Reviews. The goal with these reviews is to place a value for each issue. The rating system is one to four stars, each star represents $1 in value, to a max of four dollars. The review values are also Warhammer 40k based; Age of Sigmar dedicated issues will still be reviewed, but valued for Warhammer 40k players. It means you could see many low valued issues, where a general Games Workshop hobbyist actually valuing them more. Keep this in mind when deciding if a particular White Dwarf Issue is good for you.

Contents: New Releases

We got us more Warhammer Quest with an expansion for the game called Mighty Heroes. What this ends up being is a random repacking of some existing character models, the good is the great price of $55 bucks for a $100 worth of models. The best release though comes from the Black Library and the second legends book called Cassius. In addition, we get another comic compilation: Ciaphas Cain Trilogy. Black Library is also releasing the new useless Sigmar audio drama Great Red.

The featured models for this Paint Splatter are the Kairic Adept and Excelsior Warpriest. If you ever wanted to try dark skin this is a great tutorial to use. The rest of this giant size Paint Splatter gives you brief recipes on how to paint all the Tzeentch minions from the Silver Tower game.
