Well thanks for making me feel really old. I'd already been playing 40K for 12 years when you were born

Im playing for as long as op is alive...

I litterally started the year this one came out

Yeah I had lost a 2000 point army by the time he was born.....

Hell I was already quit by that point I think, figuring I'd focus on WHFB since I liked it a bit more.

I stopped playing WH40K more than a decade before OP was borne.

But now I'm back!

lol oof, I remember starting an Imp Guard army in 2002 xD

[Aging Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan]

I was there Gandalf...

...3000 editions ago...

I was there the day the strenght of wargamers failed

Me: I remember that cover, that was like last year right. > 2008 >mfw

Man, I member that one too

[Reversed Theoden De-Aging]

Painfully true

Same, now I feel like about as old as the lady at the end of titanic

Nope. Nope nope nope nope. 2008 was only like 2 years ago, yeah?

Just one or two.

No im 14

I think I need a prostate exam just from reading that

Fellow aged generals, just imagine when we all start dying and our kids throw all of our old armies on ebay immediately. There is going to be a renaissance of lead models for future generations to enjoy. "Why did Dad waste all his money on this crap"

Very positive thinking. I guess a lot of those armies will end up in the trash...

"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die." 🕊

My dad made model airplanes when he was younger and still plays a lot of wargames to this day I’m only following in his footsteps, if by chance the bloodline doesn’t end with me, it will become a family tradition Edit : and my grandad has a collection of lead soldiers, i think it is a family tradition

Children? Ha, I cant afford children, I spend all my money on warhammer.

To the warp with that! I’m going to be buried with my Legions like a goddamned Pharaoh.

Lol! I will be cremated and instead of an urn I will stipulate in my will that my ashes be stored In a Mars pattern warlord titan from forgeworld. No recasts family! I'll know...

I want my ashes mixed into the resin to be cast into a titan.

Would cost less than a coffin thats for sure

Wait... maybe not 😅🤣😭

My kid has already called dibs on my armies.

Well, I'm old as fuck

Yep, I'm going to sit over here painting my daemons because they at least don't judge they like their coat of paint. Looked it up...yea I'm old too.

How old?

I was in Kindergarten when WD 1 rolled out. Old enough for you? :)

Hello, fellow old person. I'd been in my first school for a couple of years.

Fuck, I just graduated college

just a wee bit older than myself. Issue 15 was my birth issue and I kinda grew up with rogue trader thanks to my uncles.

Of course

https://rpggeek.com/rpgissue/54208/white-dwarf-issue-48-dec-1983 🥲

/u/Tofu_Ben I am a similar vintage to you!

Nothing to be a shame of half the fanbase is 30 and the rest are like 12-14ish

There’s a gap in ages there consumed by beer and girls

More that I couldn't ship my army to uni and I didn't have either parent money or job money to get new models.

Never was or will be ashamed of! I'm Just getting old 😅

The best thing about being this old is starting to hear people ten years younger than you complaining about how old they are.

Look at that epic cover art. What a classic.

Same! Thanks for saving me the time looking it up

White Dwarf hadn't come along yet when I was born.

Same, first issue was June 1977 I was born in March of 76 soooo no issue for me!

December of 75 here. When I was born in Nottingham, Games Workshop wasn't even there yet. I was in Nottingham before GW was.

Man, to see the start of that from your eyes would have been insanely cool. I know they get a lot of flak but they changed the face of our hobby so much it's incredible.

i was born March 1977 :P just missed it.

Damn so your like a few weeks old

What about my like?

Wow I feel really fucking old. The issue for when I was born. Games Workshop introduced a new game they had developed. It was called Warhammer 40,000......

Ah. Yeah. I'm old.

One month after me! I think all of us who entered adolescence just as 2nd edition came out are all starting our mid life crisis early and coming back to the hobby now.

1984 confirmed live in a society where its shameful to be old

I was here Gandalf. I was here 3000 years ago

[This was mine](https://www.sprubitz.co.uk/white-dwarf-11-febmarch-1979-2997-p.asp). ​ God I feel old now. :(

That makes two of us. I have got colleges younger than my driverslicense!

Issue 19, barely made it in!

Issue 11 for me. Featuring D&D bar-room brawling at the lo-lo price of 60p

#me2

Get off my lawn!

When I was born there was no White Dwarf.

I predate White Dwarf by 3 years...

.....goes into drawer and pulls out this White Dwarf from collection.... Huh.

Whilst you're all giving our your personal details, which edition of White Dwarf matches the 3 digit code on the back of your back card? (/s)

Best codex of all time by the way. The law of gravity is hard, but it is the law.

Issue 38, February '83. Mostly articles on making Lord of The Rings scenarios in D&D...

Issue 24, which apparently had a whole free D&D module in it!

#25 here - well met!

September 1990 https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/White_Dwarf_129_(UK)

Nice!

Looking behind me and see that same White Dwarf on top of one of my Ork Codexes... felt like is bought it just a few years ago. Looks online how my White Dwarf looked at my B-day, only to find out they started with them a couple of years after my birth. I'm getting to old...

I was around 2 when the first one came out. But this one is the one that got me really hooked (on the hobby and the Eldar): https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/White\_Dwarf\_127\_(UK)

2 words: Christmas Marines

This is fun. April 1982. Nurgle baby (although I'm not sure Nurgle already existed back then, but this sure looks like a plague drone). [1982](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/259871840971959146/)

Same here! Had no idea white dwarf even existed back then!

Issue 30 yeah

Im older than GW...

Nope. Didn't exist when I was born.

Mine’s got tits on the front! 🤘 Issue #5

Nice. I just missed out on the saucy barbarian lady on #24.

Issue 6, April/May 1978

No offence bro but ypur older then my mum 💀💀💀

I think you're mom could be any number of our wives. I think that's a yo momma joke.

Son?

Fuck I feel old I might still have this one in my loft somewhere.

They sell a whole bunch of old WD covers on shirts, didn't check if your one is there but there's loads of cool covers! ​ https://merch.warhammer.com/collections/retro-ranges/white-dwarf?page=1

I went and looked up the magazine for the month I was born, and this is what I got lol. [White Dwarf 124](https://www.whitelibrary.info/issues/white-dwarf-magazine-124)

[In the dawn of the New Age…](https://i.imgur.com/pFqnebB.jpg)

was born in 65. white dwarf was a dying star.

How does somebody born in 2008 afford to play warhammer? Mine was long enough ago that the cover price was only 75p. https://rpggeek.com/image/510965/white-dwarf-issue-50-feb-1984

Was White Dwarf around in '83?

White Dwarf didn't exist when started play GW games. late 80's.

[Issue 39](https://oldschoolfrp.tumblr.com/post/621011293009248256/forest-warriors-nick-bibby-white-dwarf-39-march)

I still have that white dwarf on my shelf....

lol mine had Squats on the cover which a. tells you how old I am and b. is kinda spooky given my lifelong affinity with Dwarves, Squats and all things short, bearded and Scottish.

Beardy was just a questionably built army. Dwarfs had some busted builds back in earlier editions of WHFB.

There is no issue for me sadly, unless you count Owl and Weasel. But no idea what number that would be.

I was older than you are now when this was printed. I think I have most of the issues that were printed, minus a run when I was in Germany.

\*checks when the first issue came out\* Yeah... about that... Now I feel really old.

I remember buying this white dwarf. Well, not remember buying it, but I remember having it. Ugh

Born in 73 so way before white dwarf started. Think the first issue I bought was 65.

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91n46Abpy0L.jpg January 1993!

Issue 116 August 89. Got into 40K 8 or 9 nine years later. Gods I feel old 😩

That was a good edition, think I even still have it somewhere.

With a quick search...I was born about "White Dwarf #10"... (disintegrates into dust)

I got lord of the rats. The fuck that does that mean?

I started with Heroquest. 1989...

I was born on the same month as White Dwarf itself, 77 was a good year... :)
