Hey guys, just letting you know that the Issue 6 article deadline is quickly approaching on October 2nd and the 31st Millennium contest (with $85 in prize support from Miniwargaming) on October 5th. Details for the contest can be found here. Just email articles and/or contest submissions to theastromag@gmail.com.

Here it is, our quarterly issue-themed contest. Seeing as how Issue 6 revolves around a Pre-Heresy theme, we decided why not have a contest in the same vein? However, when most people think “Pre-Heresy” they think Primarchs and the original 18 Legions, but there is so much more…
Rules: Create a model that would be found in the 31st Millennium. This could be a Pre-Heresy Space Marine, an alien race that was expunged during the Great Crusade, or whatever your creative mind can come up with! You must convert, paint and create a short piece of fluff that describes what/who your creation is and their place in the 31st Millennium. This is a very open competition and is only restricted to the Pre-Heresy time-period.
Judging: The competition will be judged as follows:
Conversion (20 points) – Judges will be looking for creativity, posing and originality. This is the most important part of the competition so it is wise to include a picture of the unpainted model as well so it is easier to tell the amount of work you put into it (which a spiffy paint job can cover up).
One month and one day to go until the deadline for articles arrives! Granted, a month is still a long time, and we have had several articles grace the inbox already. You will like what you see come October!
The lineup for editors has changed for this issue and I want to share it with everyone. Expect nothing of the best from these gentlemen!
