Wargames Illustrated Magazine Wi449 May 2025 Edição anterior

In a radical shift away from convention, this month’s cover artwork does not herald the theme of the magazine. Instead, the wonderful illustration of World War II G.I.s (by Marco Capparoni) connects to our articles on page 32 and 48, in which hobby YouTuber Peachy and our pigment pirate James try out The Army Painter’s new Warpaints Historical range; the artwork also features on the cover of the World War Two American Paints box set.

The theme of this magazine is around 2,000 years away from World War Two: The Celts! Their coverage spans three articles that dovetail with the Freebie Frame bagged with this magazine. The sprue of Epic Hail Caesar Celt Warriors is a new release from Warlord Games, and it is currently only available as part of the Celt Army box set. However, you now have your slice of the army – for free! – allowing you to add to your Celtic ranks or ‘try before you buy’.

Whether your preference is for painting World War II or playing Celts, I’m sure you will find plenty to interest and inspire you in this magazine, especially as they comprise just some of the many wargaming topics covered in this issue.
