White Dwarf November 2025 (518) (GER)

White Dwarf – the Emperor-blessed chronicle of the Warhammer hobby
The official Warhammer magazine, overflowing each month with incredible content: new rules and lore, short fiction, regular expert columns, special guest features, and a treasure hoard of hobby Inspiration.

Here’s what awaits you in the November issue:

Planet Warhammer

Miniatures, reader letters, and hobby questions from across the Imperium — plus an unexpected encounter with Troggoths in the pantry. Standard Tuesday.

WARHAMMER 40,000

The Blessed Boltgun

For 38 years, the boltgun has stood as the sacred icon of the 41st Millennium — a thunderous symbol of righteous annihilation. This issue takes a closer look at its history, craftsmanship, and mythos (don’t worry, not down the barrel).

Battle Through the Ages

Classic Warhammer 40,000 box sets reborn with modern rules. Dust off your blast templates, kids — the battlefield is about to look gloriously old-school. Are we unhinged? Absolutely.

Battle Report: The Battle for Kasr Kraf

Writer Dan and photographer Adam recreate one of the most legendary clashes in the chronicles of 40k. It took forever, required gallons of caffeine, and looks utterly magnificent.

WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR

Wasteland Death Race

Ready your… horses? Beasts? Whatever pulls your chariot fastest. The Mortal Realms celebrate 50 years of Games Workshop with brand-new rules for high-speed chariot carnage.

Death on Wheels

A slab of wood, two wheels, and something (preferably angry) to drag it across the battlefield. A chaotic and charming deep dive into the iconic war chariot.

Legions of Fire

A fiery descent into the Helsmiths of Hashut — with lavish photography, designer insights, and, of course, some very large and very dramatic hats.

Paint Splatter

A handy guide for bringing your Helsmiths to life in molten metal and flame-kissed Colors.
