New Magazines Review

[quindia]

Dropped this the 'WD stopping' thread, but I thought it could use its own thread...



Warhammer Visions seems worse than I imagined. Yes, I like the photos, but I don't need 200 pages of the things every month... Maybe I can learn some French and German along the way. White Dwarf might be worth picking up when it features one of the armies I collect, but I can't see racing to the store to buy every issue.

Seems like GW rolled a '1'...

Also got "visions" tonight...

Pro's
Lots of pictures...

Cons
£7.50!!
A5 (same size as the Small 40 rule book, about twice as think)
Just lots of pictures..... not much reading material...

Won't be buying this again......

GW are doomed if they really think this will help save them...

That has really put me off. I'll be canceling. Very disappointed.

The weekly looks "ok" but visions is a big miss from what I see in the review. It just looks like lots of pictures of painted models, some repeated as well. To be fair the models and the paint schemes are cool and great for inspiration but I can find pictures of very cool painted models for free on the internet.

Yep. I like the Golden Demon coverage because it's great to see what other gamers come up with. Armies on Parade is also a good feature. I also like Blanchitsu because I just love all of the gothic inquisitor stuff.

However, there were over 60 pages of Tyranid photos! Many are simply pics we've seen before (or near enough they seem familiar) of the same studio models we've seen on the website.

Not sure what GW is thinking...

One 4 letter word staring with F. Yes it's fail!

He's absolutely right about the graphic design layout of the "Visions", I think someone ought to get the axe or go back to design school. If these are sold at my local game store I might pick up a "weekly" just for kicks but pass on "Visions". I have my own visions for my armies. "FOR THE LION!"
