Changes

The first run of the magazine was published in the 80s as supplements for the first editions of ''[[lex_en_whfb:Warhammer|Warhammer]]'' and other licensed games.

The original four issues of the '''''The Citadel Journal''''' were released one after another by Games Workshop from 1985 to 1987. They were published as irregular updates to the ''The Citadel Compendium'', an annual series of miniature cataloguesfor ''Warhammer'' and other licensed games. Apart from an overview of new miniatures and other [[Citadel Miniatures|Citadel]] products, the magazines offered hobby -related content such as background articles, painting advice, rules and scenarios. ===1994-2002=== 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. 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.
