White Dwarf 526 (July 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 July issue:

WARHAMMER 40,000

• A New Dawn – Load your bolters, sharpen your chainswords, and polish your mouse as we take a look at Dawn of War IV.
• Paint Splatter: Blood Ravens – Knowledge is power! Which is why we've created a stage-by-stage painting guide for the Blood Ravens. Use that knowledge well.
• Iron and Fire – Treadheads unite – we take a closer look at some of the famous (well, infamous) tank battles of the far future.
• Insidious Industry – Incredible constructions in this Genestealer Cults & Tyranids army converted by master artificer (and Neophyte Hybrid) Mark Kilburn.
• Escalating Combat: Gathering of Might – From tiny acorns to mighty oaks – in the final article in the series, the Warhammer 40,000 team looks at escalating an army to 2,000 points.

WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR

• A Generals' Overview – Tournament organisers Gareth Thomas and Anthony Magro discuss the features and benefits of the General's Handbook 2026-2027.
• Har Kuron: Seized by Shadow – Blood on the streets, gladiatorial battles, death in the shadows, and a giant snake-lady in charge. Anvilgard has really gone downhill…
• The Kraken Awakens – A mini campaign pitching the Cities of Sigmar against the Daughters of Khaine in a guerrilla war to retake Anvilgard.
