WHITE DWARF 520 (JAN-26)
White Dwarf 520 is the January 2026 issue of White Dwarf, the official magazine of the Warhammer hobby. This issue is packed with new rules, background lore, hobby inspiration, painting guides, scenarios, and studio showcases for fans of both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
Warhammer 40,000 content takes centre stage with an in-depth look at the explosive new 500 Worlds: Titus supplement, alongside detailed coverage of the Wardens of Ultramar and the heroes of the Ultramarian Reclamation. The designers also pull back the curtain on the Warriors of the Vespator Front, including the terrifying Nightbringer, while Silver Skulls fans are treated to portents of an incoming force. The issue rounds out its 41st Millennium content with a suite of new missions and enemies for the Space Marine Operations mini-game inspired by Space Marine 2.
For Warhammer Age of Sigmar players, the issue delves into the tragic history of the Jade Abbey and follows four Flesh-eater Courts champions on their deranged quest in Madness in a Good Cause. Hobbyists will appreciate Emily’s Paint Splatter guide focused on painting the bloated warriors of the Maggotkin of Nurgle, as well as a lush terrain showcase set in the Blighted Wilds of Ghyran. The gallery continues with a striking feature on two Shyishan armies painted by spouses Martin and Claire Waller.
Beyond the battlefields, White Dwarf 520 introduces a brand-new serial with The Chronicles of Bain: Skullchewa, follows the ongoing studio campaign in The Vanishing of the Emberwing, and celebrates creativity with reader submissions, painting challenges, chariot showcases, and the latest Bunker news, including a new dwarf joining the team.
Each copy also includes a generous set of physical extras. Inside you’ll find a double-sided Scenarios of the Month card for both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, four Flesh-eater Courts character cards, eight double-sided Initiative tokens, four Equipment and Upgraded Equipment cards for Warhammer Quest: Darkwater, and a double-sided Bunker rank tracker. The magazine also includes scan-and-print cards for the Space Marine Operations game, covering all threat levels from Minoris through Terminus.
White Dwarf 520 is an essential pickup for Warhammer players and hobbyists looking for fresh rules, rich lore, and plenty of inspiration to kick off 2026 at the hobby desk.
