Hambrook, who had been a contributer since issue 21 chanced the philosophy of ''The Citadel Journal''. More room was given to the readers and the tagline "by gamers for gamers!" was added. Studio miniatures and terrain were banished from the magazine as the Journal was tasked with "keeping it real": Games were represented the way hobbyists actually experienced them, as opposed to the glossy and inspirational approach of ''White Dwarf'' and the studio. Room was given to games clubs with contact addresses as well as the (rather unsuccessful) "Trading Post" column in which gamers could adverise, sell and buy second-hand miniatures and games.
With issue 38 the newly formed [[Specialist Games|Fanatic Games]] took over. Since Fanatic Press had begun to cover games other than ''Warhammer'' and ''Warhammer 40,000'' in their own magazines (such as the ''[[Epic 40,000 Magazine]]'' and ''[[Battlefleet Gothic Magazine]]''), ''The Citadel Journal'' was now focusing on ''Warhammer'' and ''Warhammer 40,000''the two main games. Articles were now geared towards "veteran" gamers, and now frequently featured updates for older miniatures that were not included in newer codices and armybooks, as well as variants for regular army lists.
