I managed to pick up a copy of last week's issue from my friendly local GW shop today. The manager had taken delivery of the lastest issue but had kept a few copies back behind the counter for late comers like myself. Here is a brief summary of what is inside that may be of interest to One Ringers (not including WH and WH40K)...

Product Review of new tool set - (5 1/2 pages)
Battle Report - An Unexpected Journey (4)
Figure Prep Article (4)
Painting Tips Article (2)
The Hobbit Trivia Articles (approx 2/3 page)
Staff Armies Display Page (1)
Back page quality photo of Azog and wargs (1)

~19/36 pages of The Hobbit/hobby article goodness. Not quite as good value as #8 but the 15-20 mins of reading time means it was a justified £2.40 IMHO. Anyway, the more of us who buy The Hobbit related issues, the more the sales will spike and hopefully GW will see The Hobbit SBG as a viable 3rd system to support further in the near future at least, and we may get more articles that suit us.

Gamesworkshop reviews its own products? Let me guess...

11/10 ?

"We here at Games Workshop positively think we have done a marvelous job with these new hobby equipment".

I see a hole in reviewing yourself I think.
