The format of Cry Havoc is slightly larger than A4, perfect bound on great quality paper with spot varnishing and the like to create a product that exudes class. Content tends to feature on either a single faction or aspect of the world of Aarklash in each issue with copious amounts of background articles to bring the world to life. This is balanced by plenty of painting and modelling articles (learn to paint the Rackham way! Sort of...), previews of upcoming products, battle reports and strategy guides and so on.
