As another (forgotten about) update, as I said the fantasy mag has been pushed back due to Real-life complications (damn them!!!), but realized we didnt adjust the contest deadline to keep it in line, so I will…

The new deadline is ONE week later, so Sunday 11th April.

Okay folks?

The Astro Mag: Chronicles update

japehlio — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 03:50:12 +0000

Hey hey everybody, just a little notice here; Issue 1 is all set to go, all articles in and editing done (yay!). There will, however, be a short delay in getting it out and ready for downloading/viewing by you all, the chap responsible for the “assembly” side of the project is a bit bogged down with work at the minute…

It (hopefully) wont be long now tho, w00t!

Contest for Fantasy

Consadine — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:12:57 +0000

The crew running the Chronicles of the Old World has decided on a contest to get more interest going in the Mag.

Interested? Good, read on:

The contest is a fiction one. Now, as the issue has a theme of “Evil”, and so Im asking that entries are kept to a similar theme; Orcs, Goblins, Dark Elves, Vampire Counts, Ogres, Skaven and Tomb Kings are all valid races for use in your stories, and we’re looking for between 1500-2000 words here.

Deadline is April 1st, and all entries must be submitted to our email, “thefantasymag@gmail.com”

And yes, there is a prize! Two for one, in fact, as first place scores a copy of Heldenhammer and Empire, both signed by Graham McNeill!

Get writing!

Another Update: 40k Articles, Fantasy (wait, what?!)

Hello gentlemen and the occasional lady!

The title of this post might be a bit confusing. Why’s that? Well, I mentioned Fantasy because, well… read on, first there’s some Issue 6 to chat about.

We’ve been getting some articles and pictures for Issue 6. The editorial team (only three of us now) is very excited about this uptick in submissions. Yet, it’s never enough! If you have an idea for an article and want to send it in but can’t make the deadline for Issue 6 (December 21st!), email it to theastromag@gmail.com and we can use it in future issues.

On that note, articles aren’t the only thing that we’re looking for! If you have a miniature/miniatures that you want to showcase, send pictures to the email address given in the previous paragraph. Same with artwork and fiction; we’ll review every submission!

Now, onto this Fantasy nonesen– er, I mean, business.

Japehlio from the Astronomican forums is heading up the Fantasy edition of the Astro Mag. It’ll be like the current Mag, but all about Fantasy instead of 40k. The same submission guidelines and the like apply to this project, and you’ve got until January 22nd to submit your article/picture(s)/fiction to thefantasymag@gmail.com. Got questions? Email them to thefantasymag@gmail.com and it’ll get squared away.

Right, I believe that is all there is new to share. I’ll throw up another post when we get closer to the deadline for Issue 6 submissions as a reminder that, well, the deadline is coming up.

As always, if you have anything to say about the Mag, email me at theastromag@gmail.com.

Cheers all,

Consadine
