1994-2002

Issue 1

In 1994 the The Citadel Journal was relaunched and ran for eight years until it was cancelled in 2002
after issue 50. The new magazine started as a test and training ground for assistant game developers to
learn their trade before moving to White Dwarf magazine and then to games development.[1]

The first issue launched with Gav Thorpe, Ian Pickstock and Mark Hawkins (who left after issue 5) at the
helm. Their remit was to publish articles for all of Games Workshop's games, which then included
Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, Space Hulk, Space Marine, Mighty Empires, Blood Bowl and Man
O'War. While White Dwarf was focusing more on newer releases, The Citadel Journal was meant to
provide content to long standing hobbyists and their collections.[1]
