The Astro Mag

Hello folks,

As much as I wish I were announcing the release of Issue 6 of the Astro Mag, such is not the case.  Fret not, it really is on the way… to be fair, I do feel like the boy that cried wolf.  The irony being that one of the sneak peeks is an editorial on Space Wolves.

Wait, sneak peeks?  Why, yes citizen!  It’s the least I can do for making you all wait this long.  Just two quick screenshots in between editing proofs…

Here we’ve got the Space Wolves editorial as well as one of the pieces of artwork I hope will find its way into the Mag.  Fingers crossed!

This is something I’m excited about.  It’s a shame these images are in a portrait style, which doesn’t fit too well into the landscape format of the Mag.  It’s still fun to see what we can do… perhaps even mesh two of these together?  That would feel like cheating, but it might work… if you are an artist or know someone who is, or can point us to someone who has posted a gallery of Warhammer pictures, please email us at theastromag@gmail.com!  We’ll be glad to hear from you.

There’s a quick update for the Fantasy edition of the Mag, now with a fancy sounding title: Chronicles of the Old World.  The deadline for articles has been pushed back through the end of the first day of February.  The email address has not changed: thefantasymag@gmail.com. Ideas are already being tossed around the Astronomican boards; one in particular about a campaign map sounds like it could be fun.  Don’t let that intimidate you from sending something in, though!  We really want to kick this project off with a bang.

Also, we’ve got another addition to our “List o’ Links”: a 40k podcast titled Imperial Vox Cast.  A biweekly show, the IVC crew pick an army for the episode and go at it.  The discussion is pretty solid; at the end of every show I know about more ways to run armies out of whatever codex was the subject of the show.  It’s free and makes for a good listen while you’re painting/gluing/sculpting/hobbying.  Check it out!

As always, please send all feedback (good and bad), articles, artwork, inquiries and issues to theastromag@gmail.com.  Is there something we shouldn’t do anymore?  Do you have an idea for an article or an addition to the Mag but aren’t sure on the specifics?  Is there anything blatantly obvious that we could be doing better?  What would you like to see in the Mag?  Do email your thoughts in; I check the Mag’s inbox at least once a day and I do read every email that floats on in.

With that, I bid thee well,

-Mr C
