So we now have a weekly White Dwarf to coax us into the Hobby Centres and hopefully trigger that part of the brain that initiates impulse purchases. The weekly is hard copy only - not digital.

What this may mean is that we could see more splash releases of models away from the main monthly release as GW has 4 weeks to fill. This would clear some of the backlog of releases that the Studio is likely to have generated. It also immediately monetises this backlog which is something I suspect GW is keen on.

We had the fanfare or a White Dwarf re-launch 15 months ago. I hope that the delivered product offers more this time.
