Hey guys. This is the first of many “live supplements” for The Astro Mag. Instead of including them in the mag themselves, I will post them up here for immediate enjoyment!
So “Captain Kellen” over on the Astronomican forums finished a project meant for fun games that brings the Dark Angel’s codex “up to snuff” for 5th edition, making them a bit more fun to play. A lot of people don’t agree with this sort of thing, but I suggest giving it a read as it is very professionally laid out and has some cool stories in there as well! If you guys have any input, feel free to post comments and I’ll forward them over to Kellen.

Enjoy! (click the image to download!)

Hello everyone!

Well my top three artists I use for most issues seem to have fallen into a bit of hardship and do not have the time to finish as many pieces as I need for this next issue. To keep it short, it’s a mixture of job loss and heavy coursework that is preventing them from finishing them. As such, I turn to you, people of the interwebs! If you are even a semi-talented artist I would love for you to submit your work! I need quite a bit of guard and renegade artwork; I have the stories and articles they will be included in so if you need inspiration from them feel free to ask!

Now here’s the big one. . .

We don’t have a cover yet. Two of the guys I had lined up for it are two of the three that I mentioned above. So, please, if you have a piece of 40k fan-art that has been collecting dust at the bottom of your closet (shame on you!) then please feel free to send it to me at theastromag@gmail.com! There are a few guidelines for this, however:
1) Needs to be in color
2) Needs to be based on Imperial Guard, Renegades, or have humans in it….somewhere

Issue 4 is shaping up to be our best publication yet, and with your help we can make it even better!

Hey everyone!

Well I have some good news, and two parts to it too!

1) Warseer will be promoting future issues of The Astro Mag on their homepage which, as you could imagine, is an amazing help to increase exposure to the hobby-knowledge that we round up!  I am very happy about this!

2) Steve at Turn Signals on a Land Raider will be doing a few short strips for Issue 4!  This is great news for everyone because, as you may know already, TSOALR will be ending in the near future so this is a way to keep the Emperor’s Pointy Sticks spirit alive!

Well, that’s all I have for now.  For those of you still wishing to submit material, remember the deadline is on the 14th so you better hurry!  Email at theastromag@gmail.com
