  • White Dwarf Index
    NOTES ON THIS INDEX This Index lists the most important articles that have been published in White Dwarf from issue 68 to issue 251. There are several points that I would like to make about this Index. • The Index only lists the main articles published in each issue, it does not list the Games Workshop News, Mail Order or What’s Happening at the GW Stores (as features in these articles will be out of date and largely irrelevant). • From Issues 110 onwards all of the articles are categorised according to which game they are relevant to, there is a column for Warhammer 40,000 (commonly referred to as WH40K) articles, a column for Warhammer Fantasy Battle (referred to as WHFB or just Warhammer), one for Various Games (all of the other games WD features), one for Terrain articles (just terrain, not painting guides) and one for Miscellaneous Articles and Battle reports. For issues 102 and earlier there are only three columns. One for Various Games that are featured (including Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle) one for Roleplay Games like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (commonly referred to as WFRP) and lastly, one for Miscellaneous Articles and Battle reports. This is because, back then, there wasn’t always a WH40K and/or WHFB article. There was however, a plethora of other games produced by other companies as well as lots of Roleplay games that are just never seen now. If things carry on as they are, I might have to change the columns from Issues 248 onward to just include just WH40K, WHFB and Miscellaneous Articles, because that’s what White Dwarf seems to be completely dedicating itself to these days… • Since Games Workshop re-releases games every so often (generally Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle), articles about such games are only relevant to the edition of the game that was around at the time when that issue was printed.

Secondly, and this is where I must have gone insane, update the game’s mechanics to modern tabletop wargame design standards in terms of turn structure, activation and morale rules.

No reproduction without written permission other than short passages for the purposes of literary criticism and quotation. HH: My thanks to John Stallard of Warlord Games (JS), previously of Games Workshop, who has very kindly allowed his kitchen in his central Nottingham home to be the venue for this interview with Rick Priestley (RP), author of Black Powder, Warmaster, Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 and himself. The supplies of tea and biscuits are impressive in their own right! Anyway, let’s get started right away with a question directed at Rick. Lots of people know who you are, but let’s start with a few biographical details such as where you were born and where you grew up. RP: I’m actually from Lincoln, just down the road from Nottingham. So I regard myself as part of the East Midlands Wargames Mafia. HH: Yes, I call you lot the Nottingham Mafia. RP: Lincoln is where I was born and grew up and went to school. I went to school with Richard Halliwell, the other original Warhammer author along with me. A long-time Games Workshop designer, he designed Space Hulk. We were part of the same wargames club, we were at school together in the same class and generally grew up together, so that’s where I started out. HH: So what was the first wargame or model soldier influence that you can remember, and when would that have been? RP: The usual story, the 1960s and Britains’ and Airfix obviously, because everybody was doing that.

Made by: PauliusTheMad This falls under: Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) Note: This is conversion of now discontinued Games Workshop’s game Gorkamorka (Also known as mad max with orks) however instead of usual warbands of orks, muties and grots this is focused on Meks traveling in great space hulks and space ships having some off time and enternaiment by constructing various machiens and fighting one another in the pits...as well as other locations in the future... “Travellin' through space is boring. Well, boring unless da hulk yer on is full of dem gene-sneakers, or a base fer da chaos lads wiv da spikes, or already has Boyz on it. Or if humie lootas come callin', that's always good fer a bit a sport. Or unless yer have a mutiny or two to pass da time, or unless strange fings start happenin', which dey usually do when yer out in da warp. One time we had some bloody great ugly fing come straight out of Weird Lugwort's 'ed! It butchered half da lads, that was pretty entertainin'. Come ter fink of it, space is a pretty good larf. And that's before yer find yerself a nice world ta crush!” - Bigmaw, Ork Runtherd. Somewhere out in deep space there are uncountable numbers of big and small ork krafts, ones they call kruizers and roks, as well as multiple space hulk infested with the greenskins, and those who reside here tend to get a bit bored living there, thus various bloody and violent games come into existence, and one of them would be known to the poor imperial schoolars who saw them and managed to transmit the message before being slain of “Dread WARS” Deff dread: 50 Teef (without weapons).
