Its first issue, June/July 1977, introduces its subject to the va rious types of roleplaying companies and different companies that produce miniat ures. Its editor, Ian Livingstone begins the magazine by describing the creation of roleplaying games and how there are over fifty games, with ten miniature pro duction companies, spanning many different ideas and concepts at the time. The original publisher was the Pentagon Printing Group and they produced the mag azine for Games Workshop. It was later, when Games Workshop started producing mi niatures for their own game and branched off completely from the Dungeons & Drag ons format, that White Dwarf became a monthly magazine devoted just to Games Wor kshop products. When Games Workshop's products took over, White Dwarf was turned into a magazine and a "catalog". The "catalog" section featured new miniatures that were releas ed by Games Workshop/Citadel Miniatures and even had a place where they could be ordered. It was with this incarnation that White Dwarf became a true Games Work shop-only magazine. This was fully expanded beyond miniatures in the 90s to incl ude the new releases of Black Library, the literary publisher for Games Workshop . From then on, short stories and other literary works played an important role in articles. Later, when Games Workshop bought the license to produce miniatures for the Lord of the Rings series, White Dwarf expanded. It was the first time in over 200 is sues that a non-Games Workshop concept would be featured in the magazine. Articles There are many standard feature articles for Warhammer 40,000: "Chapter Approved": These articles introduced new rules and units for play. They are collected into books called Chapter Approved. "Index Astartes": These articles describe the founding of the Space Marines.
