White Dwarf includes Mighty Empires tiles

Postby IBBoard at 22 Jun 2007, 19:01

To push the release of their new version of 'Mighty Empires' (see here for our previous thread) GW are attaching two special double-sided tiles to the front of July's White Dwarf.

These two tiles are apparently 'bonus tiles' that will be available through Direct Order from September, so they're not available in the main box (which contains forty-two double-sided tiles and six mountain tiles).

The tiles look quite interesting, and I was expecting them to be a touch smaller. Hopefully, since I've got the next week off, I'll be able to post pictures, a review and some painting tutorial or something.

That is assuming Hereford doesn't have more rain for the next week, leaving the place too dark to take reasonable photos in.

I did eventually get round to painting the tiles (possibly about two years after the first post!) and I'm just tidying up the photos now. I'll post them as I do them - I've only done one side so far, but they were an interesting diversion and I liked doing the little Orc monolith.

[edit] All three images now added. The highlights look a bit excessive in the large pictures, but they do work well at a normal viewing distance (something more like the thumbnails).
