White Dwarf 523 - April 2026

White Dwarf is the official Warhammer magazine, packed with amazing monthly content – including new rules and background, short stories, regular columns, special guests, and more.

Here’s what you can look forward to in the April issue:

WARHAMMER 40,000

• Tapestry of Honour - Knightly heraldry can be a complex topic, but luckily for you, we've prepared an in-depth primer! Yes, this will all be on the exam.
• Galactic War Hosts: Knightly Crusade - Part 1 A cavalcade of Knights, both Chaotic and Imperial, brought to you by hard-working Sacristans from across the Warhammer Studio.
• Titanic Duel - Get ready for a super-heavyweight bout, as our new mini-game sees Knight pitted against Knight in a one-on-one battle for supremacy!
• Daemon Forged - The Defiler is reborn! Showing off the all-new infernal engine and chatting with the evil geniuses (or 'designers') who made it.
• Iron Within - Not a fan of kitbashing? We reckon you'll be converted (heh) after you see this incredible army of Iron Warriors. 

WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR

• Tower of Blades - Learn all about the deadly trials of Draichi Ganeth – and then face them yourself in yet another mini-game! Don't we spoil you?
