Good afternoon/evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I wanted to throw up another sneek peek which shows how the battle report looks (hint: it’s awesome).  The maps were made with Battle Chronicler software, and the armies are two fully painted armies: Chaos Space Marines and Space Marines.   I’m very excited about this, as the format means battle reports will be something that can be done and look good!

Also included is some tinkering I did while waiting for Dow: Dark Crusade to load for Issue 7’s cover… or what I wish it could be!  The portrait style doesn’t mesh well with the landscape format of the Mag.  It’s hard to find good Warhammer art in a landscape format; if you know anyone who is an artist, see if they’ll do something for us.  With our ever growing readership, it’s a good way to get their name out if they’re interested in commissions and the like.

Oh, those Land Raiders with lights?  They’re part of the miniature showcase (another segment that will hopefully become a regular feature), and there’s more where that came from

Excited yet?

I need to mention the Fantasy edition of the Mag.  japhelio has told me he hasn’t gotten but one or two complete articles in.  I highly encourage any of you who dabble in Fantasy to any degree to write an article for Chronicles of the Old World.  If you have any questions about writing an article and the like, email me at theastromag@gmail.com or japhelio at thefantasymag@gmail.com.  Remember, the deadline is February 1st, which is fast approaching!

I am working on gather several Apocalypse Datasheets from the Astronomican community to provide another bundle o’ datasheets.  Send me an email with what you want to see in that bundle!  If we don’t have it, there are some folks who are capable of punching out rules with relative ease.

I think that covers all the new news.

Thank you for your continued patience,

Consadine
