  Among hard X-ray galactic sources detected by INTEGRAL and Swift surveys,
those discovered as accreting white dwarfs have surprisingly boosted in number,
representing 20% of the galactic sample. The majority are identified as
magnetic cataclysmic variabiles of the intermediate polar type suggesting this
subclass as an important constituent of galactic population of X-ray sources.
In this conference-proceeding, we review the X-ray emission properties as
observed with our ongoing XMM-Newton programme of newly discovered INTEGRAL
and/or Swift sources that enlarged almost by a factor of two, identifying
cataclysmic variabiles commonalities and outliers.
