#GAMES WORKSHOP LATEST WHITE DWARF MAGAZINE MOVIE#

This is all very appropriate for a magazine that covers both SF and fantasy games. Double-Meaning Title: A 'white dwarf' is of course a category of star in astronomy, but from its first issue, the magazine has featured imagery of a (usually white-bearded) fantasy dwarf, who is sometimes acknowledged to be 'the white dwarf'.After it became a Warhammer wargames support mechanism, it simply used art from and for the game, making the covers reliably relevant, in a general way. There was no intent to deceive the covers just hardly ever related directly to any of the contents. Covers Always Lie: In its days as a roleplaying games magazine, White Dwarf evidently used whatever cool SF or fantasy art that the editors could lay hands on.

This includes the Movie Marines list, the premise of which was to show what would happen if you played the Space Marines as depicted in game fluff (it was Purposefully Overpowered and explicitly intended only for friendly games).

All There in the Manual: White Dwarf has occasionally included game rules, such as with a Sisters of Battle Codex released over two issues.

After-Action Report: A regular feature of the modern version of the magazine.

Tropes associated with White Dwarf at one time or another include:

No connection to the movie with the same title. The last Paranoia material appeared in Issue #112 (April 1989) and the last roleplaying material of any kind, for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, was in Issue #140 (August 1991).

By issue #100 (April 1988), though, even these games were being pushed out by a focus on the miniatures-based wargames Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Warhammer 40,000 and their spinoffs. However, while this was a definite switch, general RPG and book reviews continued for a while, and Games Workshop was at the time still publishing Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and held the UK licences for Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu and a few other RPGs, so the magazine still published adventures and other roleplaying material. First, non-Games Workshop material was dropped, with the last AD&D adventure appearing in Issue #93 (September 1987). The shift in White Dwarf's focus from being a wide-ranging roleplaying-focused magazine to being one devoted entirely to Games Workshop miniature gaming happened in two stages from 1987 through 1991.
