White Dwarf Issue 530, available for pre-order from Saturday, delivers a diverse range of content across Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. The issue opens with a lore article exploring Custodian titles and the heroic deeds undertaken to earn them, ensuring readers are prepared should they ever encounter a Custodian in person.
The lead feature is a battle report pitting Adeptus Custodes against an insidious uprising of Genestealer cultists. The cultists' existence threatens the security of an entire subsector, though the Custodes struggle to shoot straight with their mining lasers in the engagement.
For Kill Team players, the issue introduces Tyrant's Claim, a new Joint Ops mission tasking forces with holding the line against Huron Blackheart and his cast of ne'er-do-wells. The mission sees Blackheart and his allies venture forth from the Maelstrom to raid supply lines in the finest piratical tradition.
The publication turns to the Mortal Realms for coverage of the newest Warhammer Age of Sigmar faction, the Khazalite Holds. The feature includes background and lore on the faction, interviews with the art team behind the new battletome, and a step-by-step painting guide from the 'Eavy Metal team for the colours of Karak Angaraz.
Grombrindal returns with a new Legends warscroll for the main duardin himself, as well as rules for a new Army of Renown – Grombrindal's Expedition. This army focuses on Old Whitebeard leading a force of like-minded duardin who are able to harness their pioneering spirit into potent tactical advantages.
The issue also includes its regular features, with scenarios of the month for both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and handy tearout rules for the Stormsurge and Wraithknight in Titanic Duel.
