It's baaaaaack

[Mr Mystery]

Interesting!

Interesting!

And a victory for common sense.

I might even start buying it again.

Question is....where does this leave me with the sub I had for WD that transferred to WHM?

You may have to inquire, I imagine they're not going to swapped it back automatically, if that's what you'd like, but they may be open to negotiation.

"And if you’re already a subscriber to White Dwarf or Warhammer Visions, check your mail for news of an exclusive subscriber offer."

I'm cautiously optimistic...

[Mr Mystery]

Nice.

Quarterly sub costs me £9.00 at present, new one £12.50, so not a massive jump and I have saved a lot on WHM (nice enough read for the lavvy)

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed on this.

Their marketing speak is already annoying me, though. "Bigger and better than ever!" Okay, it does seem to have higher page count. But "better than ever?" Okay, so they're suddenly going to go back to interesting batreps, varied painting articles, how to make your own terrain, previews in advance of upcoming stuff, tactics talk, modeling ideas, new rules, cardstock inserts, and hardly any unnecessary and largely annoying space-wasting advertising?

I'll believe that when I see it.

It doesn't have to have all of that to be an improvement. But it just annoys me as much as when EA does their BS each year with Madden NFL where they talk up "new features" and, yet again this year, most of them are actually things they just took out of the game from prior editions. It's not a "better" game, it's just tacking on one new thing and bringing back a few of the things stripped out.

Sorry, I'm just tired of corporate buggery speak, and I want to be optimistic here, but they spent way too much time throwing out this weekly sales flyer they had the audacity to charge people for, and it's going to take some time to get over that (even if I got a lot of mine free because I'd just snag them as I was helping the manager take out the trash each week, out of a huge pile being just thrown away).

I'll be happy to have the articles and battle reports back - oh boy did I miss battle reports - but I've got to admit, I'll miss having a weekly hit of hobby, even if it is just lovely pictures.

Well, that's what a web site is for, and social media. They're also hiring an online content manager. If it wasn't for the double-whammy of having to move across the pond and likely being paid less than I am now, I'd totally sign up, since it's pretty much what I'm doing now, only with the added benefit that I actually know more about what I'd be marketing.
