Custodes take point in a White Dwarf featuring Ancestor Gods, space pirates and titanic, duelling walkers. Join us as we take a look inside.

Issue 530 kicks off with a lore article exploring Custodian titles and some of the heroic deeds they perform to earn them. Basically, if you ever meet a Custodian, don’t worry about not being able to remember their name!

Once that’s whetted your appetite, you get to see the forces of the Adeptus Custodes in action in a battle report pitting them against an insidious uprising of Genestealer cultists, whose very existence threatens the security of an entire subsector. Or it would if they could shoot straight with their mining lasers.

Worried your kill teams have had it too easy lately? The Tyrant’s Claim introduces a new Joint Ops mission for Kill Team, which finds your forces attempting to hold the line against Huron Blackheart and a cast of his closest ne’er-do-wells. Can you stop them as they venture forth from the Maelstrom to raid your supply lines in the finest piratical tradition?

The White Dwarf team heads over to the Mortal Realms to dig up lots of information about the newest Warhammer Age of Sigmar faction – the Khazalite Holds. There’s background and lore, plus interviews with the team behind the art in the new battletome, and a step-by-step painting guide from the ’Eavy Metal team for the colours of Karak Angaraz.

And what would an issue of White Dwarf be without its namesake? 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.

White Dwarf 530 also features your usual favourites including The Bunker, scenarios of the month for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and handy tearout rules for the Stormsurge and Wraithknight in Titanic Duel.*
