Title: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: DaBoss on September 11, 2009, 08:32:55 PM
After posting an inquiry over at Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum, I was told that there had been plans to collect the complete Fanatic Online Magazine. I was curious if anyone had any info on this subject or can point me in the direction of someplace they might be. This is probably wishful thinking, but it can't hurt to ask.

You mean these:

I started on this, but got side-tracked. It is something that I will get back to shortly.

Is this project dead, or are more Fanatic articles going to be added?
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: CyberShadow on May 03, 2010, 11:15:53 AM
Sorry. More will be added. This just keeps getting pushed down the priority queue. I will get some more done shortly.

Thanks for what you have done so far.  I have been digging out the ol' Warmaster and the articles to date have been useful.

Here's to hoping you'll find the time to do some more.   ;)

Will the remaining articles EVER get posted up?
It has been a long time in coming with no updates for a very long time.

They are a valuable resource to new players who weren't playing when they were initially released.

Post by: CyberShadow on August 19, 2010, 05:15:39 PM
You are correct, this has been delayed for long enough, and I sincerely apologise. I have added issues 75-79 to the resource section, and will try to get this restarted and get a more regular upload going.

All the best.

Much appreciated. Linking people to these whenever they ask now. There are still some crucial necromunda ones missing, like Treacherous Conditions. Keep up the good work, hopefully see more soon!

In the mean time, a lot of the missing Necromunda stuff can be found in a link from this thread:

I forgot about that. I grabbed most of those before to fill out what I was missing, and I just double checked, all the links to the pdfs still work.

Thanks for that link - downloaded all I could, as there were a few I was missing.

If you've got access to the forum (I've applied, but my account doesn't have posting rights yet) there were two links that didn't work:
You’d Better do something!

and

D'Oh. Sorry. I have let this slip again. I will get on this and throw some more issues online very shortly.

Merry Christmas, all. I have now added issues 66 - 71 (inclusive) to the Fanatic Magazine resource page.

Likewise, is there any place to get the Old ones? One to fifty something?
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: CyberShadow on February 07, 2011, 01:52:47 PM
I will continue to put these up as regularly as I can, and I will be working backwards from the current point.

Give us more fanatics!
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: CyberShadow on April 20, 2011, 12:49:31 PM

 :D Fair enough. I will add a few more, but I want to get the colours sorted out once and for all as well. (I think that the theme simply doesnt work with the latest forum updates and so I will need to find a new theme and recolour it.)
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: horizon on April 20, 2011, 01:11:35 PM
With all respect I think the fanatic pdf's should be priority and forum theme something at the end of the ladder. :)

This soft blue and white is pleasing and good(!) to the eye.
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: CyberShadow on April 27, 2011, 05:02:31 PM

Issues 55 to 37 (inclusive) are now available to download!

Happy Easter everyone.

And.... 21-30 inclusive are now available. You can tell my mood by the increasingly incoherent descriptions!  :D

I really appreciate your work in gathering this together CyberShadow- thanks
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: CyberShadow on July 03, 2011, 06:51:14 PM
No problem. I am just sorry that all of this has taken so long. We are getting there, and I want to start really building this place and as much support for the games as possible.

Issues 16-20 inclusive are now available. Only 15 more to go. I wont be able to get these done for a couple of days, but they are number one priority right now.
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: CyberShadow on July 06, 2011, 06:51:55 PM
So close now! Issues 11-15 are now online.

And lo, did a lone trumpet sound an extended blast....

I am very pleased to announce that all SG Fanatic Mag articles are now available online, here:

My apologies that this has taken so long, but I hope that this will prove to a valuable resource for players of all of the Specialist Games.

Doh,  and now what can we badger you about?   :P

Hey thanks for your time CyberShadow, nice one.

Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: zedmeister on July 09, 2011, 10:54:09 PM
Indeed - thanks for it all.

Though I do have to bare bad news. Two articles are missing:

Revenge Is Eternal: (Rules) Vampire characters.
(62ris.pdf)

Lectures On The Witch [part 2]: (Rules) Rogue psykers in Inquisitor.
(58lotw2.pdf)
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: CyberShadow on July 10, 2011, 11:06:54 AM
You are entirely correct, and I have both of these articles. I will upload them very shortly. I also noticed that the title for the BFG scenario Port Maw Blockade is wrong, and I will change this too. Many thanks for double checking... its easy to miss things like this and I want it to be totally complete and correct.
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: CyberShadow on July 10, 2011, 11:41:51 AM
OK. Fixed. Please let me know if you find any more, and thanks.

Just a note - #11 The 2004 Albion Coast Cup: (Discussion) Tournament report from France.
While there are many great BB tourneys in France, the Albion Coast Cup is actually in Southampton, England. ;)
(I know, as it's my only tournament win.)

Looking through the list it appears we're missing the Storm over Gehenna part 1&2 content which AFAIK was in issue #2.
I actually hav a PDF of part 1 on my skydrive which is free to get snagged and posted for everyone's benefit though it'd be awesome if someone has part 2 laying around.

I think that this article was a part of the printed Epic Firepower or Fanatic magazine. These are seperate from the Fanatic Online Mag that was on the old SG web site.
Title: Re: Fanatic Online Magazine?
Post by: Jimmy Zimms on August 12, 2011, 06:49:08 PM
Well explains that  ;D

well if anyone has part 2 feel free to PM regarding it. Anyone else is welcome to raid any of my content for your own benefit.
