Gaming/Miniature magazines news?

So what magazines are out now?

I know that Pizao just came out with a new miniature style magazine. Anyone look it over? Any comments? What it is, Undefeated or something?

I think I saw a (new?) magazine that covered I-Kore, Celtos, Confronation and some other stuff like Privateer Press but can't remember the name of it.

Is Games Unplugged still coming out? I know that Campaign quietly folded.

White Dwarf is going up soon (may have to sub as I love the painting tips.)

In the small town I live in, here in the UK, only one shop stocks games magazines (Dungeon, Dragon and White Dwarf). When I went in today, to pick up Dungeon 105, the shopkeeper pointed out a new title to me. It was called 'Harbinger'. A larger format than the aforementioned publications, it was full colour, glossy and saddle stitched. It seemed to concentrate on miniatures. I can't remember the name of the publisher; I'd never heard of the company before but I do remember it being a UK publication. I didn't give it much of a scan, because minis aren't my thing (any more) but I thought I'd mention it, in case you're interested.

I'm not sure if it's an Australian publication or not, but I have seen a magazine called Broadsword on the shelves. It seems to be focused on miniatures and wargames.

There is a French magazine called Ravage that covers the miniature gaming industry. Of course it is in French, so if you don't speak Francais, it still is quite eye pleasing with plenty of photos of painted minis and beautifully crafted terrain.

Another caveat is that I have only been able to find it at a disreputable online miniature retailer, and I would feel a great burden of guilt and irresponsibility if I sent you to them.

I haven't read over Harbinger quite yet, but I've read a lot of criticism that they are heavy on advertising and light on true material.

Yep, it looks like Broadsword is an Oz and New Zealand mag.

Harbringer website?

Does Harbringer have a website or anything?

Yes, it's called Undefeated, and Paizo started releasing it about 5 months ago or so. Issue #3 just hit the newstands, although I've been unable to find it in any bookstore, game store or hobby shop in the greater Philadelphia area, and I've looked for months. Dungeon and Dragon have good market penetration, but Undefeated doesn't. It's a bi-monthly. I ended up buying back issues directly from Paizo and subscribing.

They cover 'games you can win', including the Clix games and other miniature games, primarlily. There are supposedly painting mini articles contained within, which I'm looking forward to.
