No score out of 5 yet as I haven't finished reading Dec's Dwarf yet. From what I have read so far it is shaping up to be one of the best I have read this year.
Yet another illustrated front cover is an immediate bonus for me. The back of the back cover which is just a photo of Blood Angels and Orcs just doesn't have the same impact.
Including the front cover and the back side of the back cover this issue contains 172 pages. The page count and percentages don’t include the covers as they don’t fall into any category.
