The Astro Mag

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!

Picture Quality (self explanitory.  Can be artwork, a picture of an unpainted model, a picture of a painted model, whatever)
Apocalyptic (When you think “Apocalypse” will people think of your entry?)

So if you have any questions with regard to that just post up a comment here or email me at theastromag@gmail.com

Now when you are finished with your entry, email it to me at theastromag@gmail.com and just put [datasheet] followed by the name of your sheet (makes organization easier for me) in the subject line.  The deadline for this competition is May 31st so you have a little over one month to complete it.

Prizes:
1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be included in Issue 5 of the Astro Mag due out in July.  On top of that, the top three will receive prizes based on how many donations we get.  We REALLY want to give away a Stormlord or Stompa kit so if you would like this as a prize, just click the Donations tab at the top and throw a dollar or two our way.  Every bit helps (and every cent will be pumped back into prizes for you guys!)  Every little bit helps us get closer to giving you the coolest prizes ever, so any amount goes!

On top of that, EVERY entry will be compiled into a single downloadable .pdf!

Again, if you have any questions just post a comment here or email me at theastromag@gmail.com.

Let the competition begin!
