May Datasheet Competition

Finally, I can release the details for the Datasheet competition!
To keep it simple, here’s how it breaks down:
Download the .doc or .jpeg (the Word document file will be much easier for you to create the Datasheet, though) available a little further down this post, on the right under “Supplements” or, if you hold your cursor over “Astro Mag Database” you can click the Supplements tab there.  At any rate, they’re all the same file.
Next, you just create your datasheet (limit is three per person)! But Kevin, what does that entail?  Well, my panel of judges will be grading them using this rubric:

Points Effectiveness - is the model/unit overpriced, underpriced or just right?
Rules – Do the rules make the unit overpowered, underpowered, etc?
Fluff – Is the fluff well thought out and interesting (and true to the 40k universe!)?
Originality – Does this look like something we’ve seen before or is it a brand-spanking-new-knock-your-socks-off model/unit?

There will also be bonus points which you DO NOT have to do to qualify, but it may give your entry a little extra boost to the top!

Astro Mag Issue 4 is here!

That’s right, we have finally finished Issue 4! Please leave comments telling us what you thought of this issue or send us an email at theastromag@gmail.com.

Also, make sure you check back here this weekend for info on our datasheet competition where we hope to give away a Stormlord or Stompa as the first place prize (as long as we get enough donations of course!)

Enjoy, and please give us your feedback! We really appreciate it all!

The End is Nigh!

Well, we at the Astro Mag are nearing completion of Issue #4. If all goes as planned, we should be done this week.
Figured I’d give you all a little update on that (and to give us more motivation to get the thing done!)

Also, keep on the lookout for a contest that will be formally announced in the mag with details following in a post on here. We are going to try and give away great prizes for it, but that depends on how much in donations we receive. Hopefully we can get enough to give a shiny new toy away, but I’ll save all the nitty gritty details for later ;)
