Hey everyone!

Well I’ve been receiving many emails and such about topics for articles.  It seems most people work better with a more narrow list of things they can do, so why not give out some ideas?

• A collecting guide to Imperial Guard or Renegades.  Where is a good place to start, keeping in mind that a new codex is coming out?  What are some good things to think about with regard to paint schemes and army themes?
• An Imperial Guard/Renegade converting guide.  How can I make my run-of-the-mill Cadians look original?  Easily done for mild, intermediate and expert conversions!
• Painting camo.  What is the easiest and most effective way to give your Guard the camo they deserve (or need!)
• Freehand.  Personally, I love tanks that have freehand on them, a tutorial would certainly be well embraced!
• Terrain.  Build some cool terrain for your armies to fight on!  How do you go about building a bunker or tank traps for cheap?

Tactics, Battle Reports and short stories are far too difficult to pin down to a few ideas.  However, they are very important inclusions because, let’s face it, they’re incredibly fun to read!  Read more... (221 words, estimated 53 secs reading time)

Hello Warhammer fans!

As you can see, The Astro Mag finally has its own web page! We are very excited about this because now it is much easier to update everyone on our progress and, hopefully, get more 40k-nuts involved in every issue! If you want to submit material (remember, anyone can!) just click on the “Submit Content” tab at the top to find out how.

Well, let me tell you a bit about the purpose of this blog first. I will be updating it as each issue progresses letting you know how far we are along with it, how many articles we still need to fill and so on. If there are any supplements being released with an issue (such as the Kill Team rules in issue 3) we will also release them here. I will also post rumors or links to cool tutorials I stumble across to make this blog a mini “breathing” issue as well.  Read more... (500 words, estimated 2:00 mins reading time)
