I had the first two or three years of the magazine in binders, now sadly no longer in my possession.<br /><br />It is a sad end of what was once glorious.I still flicked through it in wHS bemused by content and prices of items shown.<br /><br />I wonder if thee will be a gap in the market which can be filled by a magazine dealing with fantasy wargaming which is not bound to one system/company.I would like to think so but doubt it.There is a plethora of magazines out there on the high street shelves and wonder if there is room for another?<br />tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-87644297654633908322014-01-10T16:19:33.686-08:002014-01-10T16:19:33.686-08:00When practical war gamer disappeared I was sad whe...When practical war gamer disappeared I was sad when wargames soldiers and strategy disappeared (albeit briefly) I was sad and a bit angry, nowadays when a magazine is rumoured to have the plug pulled all I can muster is a "too bad they should have thought about being relevant"<br /><br />I'm sure GW will think of something, at a price of course ;-)Chef du Whiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496146324031190026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-5334608862475911662014-01-10T09:59:25.925-08:002014-01-10T09:59:25.925-08:00While it will be sad to lose a print title from th...While it will be sad to lose a print title from the news stand I am not surprises. The quality of all these magazines has dropped over the last few years and advertising in them is (from experience) pointless.<br /><br />As for White Dwarf I would offer the opinion that it ceased to be a 'gaming magazine' many years ago and is little more than an advert and catalogue now. I have over a hundred older issues from the 1980's and they are well worth reading now.<br /><br />As Mr Peterson says 'not bought one in years', wargamers were not its audience...children were for 'the hobby'.<br /><br />Still a bit sad though.<br /><br />GBS<br />www.alternative-armies.comGavin Syme (GBS)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07820352168938167913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-51455179199988938162014-01-10T08:36:39.335-08:002014-01-10T08:36:39.335-08:00Certainly the end of an era.

It's hard to remember when print magazines like WD or The Dragon or The Courier were the only real source of news for hobbyists. <br />Sadly, WD became a catalogue, but it did have many ideas for painting and modelling. I haven't bought one in years, but will still miss it.<br />Cheers,<br />MPMad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.com
