Bear in mind that all my information is a few years old - this is pre-Mongoose days so perhaps around 15 years ago. Maybe a bit more. It was in the Paul Sawyer as Editor of White Dwarf days. To give my credentials, I started off by doing bits and pieces for the Journal, moved onto the Battlefleet Gothic magazines, and then on to White Dwarf. I was also drafted to do work on the Armageddon 3 background (not completely unfair for me to claim that possibly the majority of the background text and scenarios on the Armageddon web site was mine). I can put a claim in for the background behind the Flesh Tearers, the original Death Company Dreadnought (you are welcome ), what happened at Gaius Point, the annihilation of a Titan Legion (I forget which one), the Apocalypse and Armageddon class ships... a bunch of other stuff....

Ohm, and got my rear end handed to me by Andy Chambers in a WD battle report once, Black Templars versus his Orks. And the result of that battle is the reason Ghazghkull is still a thing

Thank you for your great insight mate, I genuinely appreciate your post and it has made me reconsider being churlish about it as it seems a lot of other folks are getting different feedback, so they must be actually reading something.

Can you explain more about the offers of product? Do you know what I would do for plasticrack? DO YOU?


In the old days (and it would make sense if this still happened), you got a certain amount per page in White Dwarf - think it was £50, if I recall right. However, they offered you double that in product - which is kinda a no-brainer if you are in to their games (incidentally, I took that idea and now do the same with writing for Mongoose!).

You did not get anything for Journal or BFG magazine, that was for the honour of doing it. However, it did lead directly to my White Dwarf writing, and that led to the Armageddon work - mainly because, and I quote Mr Sawyer, I delivered the text I said I was going to deliver, when I said I was going to deliver it. That is kinda important.

They did the customary 'you can resubmit' offer but I won't be as I can't figure out what they're after.


Number One Rule of Freelance Writing: Do not give up.

Ultimately, it comes down to what you want. Do you want to write for GW? In which case, keep plugging away at it. If you were just doing it for a bit of fun, step aside for someone else - competition for this will be _fierce_, and it will take time, and it will take effort.

Remember, and this is a really crass way of putting it but it gets the point across - right now, they are doing you the favour just by reading your entry. If you are successful and jump through all the hoops (there will be more to come after this), you might just be able to turn that around in the other direction. That is just the reality of freelance writing, especially when so many people want to get involved.

I told them I want to write anything: 40K, Warhammer and the Heresy, and why I wanted to write for them. I also said I'd do comic book dialogue. I did not give specific story ideas.

Therefore, according to the email, writing about Games Workshop products is not what the Games Workshop is looking for.


Yeah...

I think I know what they are saying here,

Okay, this is not something I am sure I can adequately put into words (a failing as a writer, I acknowledge). There is a _very_ specific tone/theme/style to Warhammer writing and that, just as much as correct grammar, pacing, etc, is what they are looking for. People who 'get' it.

Now you will ask 'what is that style?' And I am not sure I can put it into meaningful words beyond what they have already said in their writing direction (perhaps it is worth taking a gander at the description of Warhammer novels on the Black Library submission page as well).

I can tell you that on a visit to the Studio they explained their philosophy for writing Warhammer based on real world archetypes - you cannot just take an archetype and translate it into Warhammer. You need to do it through a Warhammer-tinted lens. The example they used was the Space Wolves. They are not just Vikings in space, they have been twisted/altered by the Warhammer 40k lens into what they are now, so you can see the Viking in them, but they have been developed into something far 'more'.

Not sure if any of that will help anyone (!), but I will say that if you really, really, _really_ want this, keep cracking at it. Keep sending stuff in. Perhaps keep sending stuff in without a mandate from them (unless they tell you to stop!). When you get rejected, figure out where you went wrong, revise your text, then send it back in. Get involved in the Black Library open calls. See if Forge World want anything written. If you can, visit Nottingham and Warhammer World, and make yourself known. Don't be a nuisance, but make it clear you a) have talent and b) want your foot in the door.

The first thing I ever submitted to GW was an article on Aero-Titans for Epic, when I was 14 or 15 years old. It was crap. I then submitted rules for helicopters in Dark Future. They were probably worse. But when I came back in my twenties, Jervis remembered me, and it all helped getting material in the Journal (probably helped that my writing then sucked a whole lot less). But sometimes it works out - I got to define what I humbly think (!) is the very coolest successor chapter of the lot.

Who knows what you might end up doing in ten years time?

Hogtown

Welp, if my situation is typical, it looks like you get three shots. Here's the final set I sent in. If anyone wants a look at the others, lemme know.

I:

Sergeant Carodar’s blade shone in the burning sky as the Assault Marines burst from the Stormraven Gunship. The squad swept onto the wreckage of the Munitorum structure, jump packs screaming. A blistering torrent of Ork shoota fire answered their attack, knocking three of their number from the air. Carodar roared an oath of vengeance and barrelled into the Orks. His power sword chewed through the first of them, colouring the ornate heraldry of the Blood Angel’s armour with viscera.

Carodar ducked an incoming barrage of fire as a wave of Stormboyz counterattacked. Their black-checkered Rokkit-Packs howled, filling the sky with Orks. Carodar kicked a body off the end of his blade and launched himself to meet them. He slammed into the largest of the Goffs in mid-air, cracking its bones against his pauldron. The Stormboy bellowed in rage and hacked its choppa at weak points in Carodar’s armour. Both combatants hit the ground.

They rolled in bitter struggle. The Ork bashed its head against Carodar’s helm, blackening his vision. It kicked him away savagely. Carodar’s hearts skipped as he felt himself plummet over the edge of the structure. The Ork lunged for the kill. It gunned its Rokkit-Pack, chasing him into freefall. Carodar struggled for his bolt pistol, drawing it as his enemy struck. The weapon blasted through the open air, rending the Stormboy in a hail of bolterfire.

Engaging his jump pack, Carodar let the dead Ork fall past him as he ascended back into the carnage of battle.

II:

The launch bay of the Ultramar’s Gift was mad with activity. Servitors made last minute adjustments to Drop Pods in deadpan automation while Tactical Squads of the Ultramarines chapter fitted themselves for war. The howling of hydraulic machinery echoed through the cathedral-like space as chapter serfs prepped Predator Tanks for transport. Amongst the disciplined efficiency of the assault preparations were five scouts of the Tenth Company. They knelt on the cold deck, cleaning their sniper rifles one last time before drop. The liberation of Charachus IV was to be their first mission and the chapter demanded nothing less than victory.

“Squad to attention!” shouted Sergeant Marius. The five scouts snapped up expertly, sniper rifles pressed against their chests. “Forget everything you know about our previous objectives.”

The untested scouts exchanged curious glances.

“Do not be surprised,” Marius continued, “War changes. To adapt despite uncertainty, that is your duty. Hours ago, the Cadian 388th reported sighting Ticheron, Lord of the Iron Warriors assaulting Hive Almserstadt.” He paused, letting the gravity of the words sink in. “Our mission has changed from reconnaissance to extermination. We will locate the enemy commander and visit upon him the Primarch’s wrath.”

The scouts barked their martial approval. Marius could see the fire in their eyes, their longing to prove themselves against the chapter’s greatest enemies. Yet he was pensive, for he knew that many of his men would not live to don the black carapace.

“Ultramarines,” he bellowed as worlds burned below them “Prepare for drop!”

Mongoose, you don't have to answer this, but who actually are you? I'm keen to know, and I thank you for the insight you gave us. I would certainly be taking the payment in models if that's what they still do, price is literally the only thing stopping me from playing Warhammer/40K.

Here are some points I've picked up from the stories I've read so far:

I didn't feel any emotions when reading many of them. The use of language was not particularly emotive and many of the battle scenes in particular were just going through the motions.

The battle scenes in particular tend to lack focus. It's meant to be about one space marine and one ork. People are placing their struggle into a wider context, but the GW does not want to read the assault phase of a game of Epic, they want two characters in a life or death struggle. People are spending way too long setting the scene when this could be done in just a few words or a sentence. 250 words is NOT enough to tell a whole story in the way people are trying to do.

As for the scout segment, sometimes I was a bit "Meh" - I was thinking, "If this appeared as colour text in the Space Marine codex would it inspire me or tell me anything about how Scouts operate or behave?"

It is possible to have mission briefings which show character, humour, emotion or whatever, even with Space Marines. I'm currently reading the codex from cover to cover to find all the stories, quotes and colour text I can before finalising my story, but I'm not sure other people have done the same.

This in no way implies criticism of other people and their styles, this is just feedback based on what I've read/heard so far, and I WILL be submitting my own work in this thread at some point for other people to critique.

Upcoming work for 2022:
* Calgar's Barmy Pandemic Special
* Battle Sisters story (untitled)
* T'au story: Full Metal Fury
* 20K: On Eagles' Wings
* 20K: Gods and Daemons

Heh, whoops, I just couldn't help myself

No doubt I'll be posting them here in a month or so when I get the standard "Sorry it was crap, here's the next Ben Counter novel" response (not that I'm pre-emptively bitter or anything heh)

Seriously, I never knew I could tell a story in 250 words, and I've been told in the past I should stick to writing Guard stories rather than Marines. This exercise has been incredibly valuable for me and even if they reject me, I feel grateful that they've shown me I can do what I didn't think I could do.

Liverpool!

I submitted the same two briefs (battle scene and Scout speech) back at the end of March - haven't had a response one way or the other, not sure if that means they've not been reviewed or that I failed haha.

Here they are anyway for anyone who's interested:

“Too close”, thought Nerva, casting his gaze around him for an advantage in the gloom of the destroyed building. The only light came from the fires burning around the Ork and the Ultramarine Sergeant.

The Ork came again at Nerva, its knife and axe swinging wildly in an uncoordinated flurry of blows. Nerva parried the frenzied attacks with his sword and heard the low rumble of an approaching transport, recognising the familiar engine thrum of a Rhino. The greenskin’s crude knife scraped hard against the ceramite plating of Nerva’s arm guard, leaving a deep cut in the blue paintwork. Nerva, saw an opening and brought his gauntletclad fist around and delivered a furious blow to the Ork’s face, sending teeth, spittle and foul green blood spraying across the broken floor.

Nerva aimed a thunderous kick to the dazed Ork’s midriff, sending a cruelfanged Sun token clattering to the ground. The Ork stumbled back, just as the approaching Rhino crested the rise behind Nerva, its headlights casting brilliant beams of light directly into the eyes of the greenskin.

The Ork roared in agony and raised its hands to try and block the blinding light. Nerva didn’t hesitate and thrust his sword through the Ork’s exposed throat ending the life of the greenskin. Nerva withdrew his blade and watched the Ork’s body fall to the floor, the green blood from the savage wound in its neck had already started to pool around the body. “Another one down,” muttered Nerva, sheathing his sword.


Nerva surveys the assembled scouts in front of him. Their faces were cast in a green hue from the hololith table showing a three dimensional map rendering of Quandel City. Four Scouts, armed with sniper rifles, met his gaze.

Bright eyes, young faces, armour unblemished by combat. Such was the nature of the 10th Company.

“The Orks have overrun Quandel City. Our target,” he sweeps his hand over the hololith, watching as the image swoops in on a non-descript building in the industrial zone, “is this facility.” The building revolves on the table in front of him.

“It looks like nothing, doesn’t it? However; inside that facility is a biological weapon that could lay waste to the entire continent and we will not allow the enemy the chance to get their hands on it.

We’re going to clear a path from the insertion point right to the door of the facility, so that the 3rd Company can approach and remove the payload.” He pauses and gives a grim, tight smile.

“Between us and the entrance are over a thousand Greenskins, it falls to us to lead the cull. We enter on foot, stealth is of the essence. Only engage the enemy directly if absolutely necessary. Securing the bio-weapon is the primary objective of this assault; once it’s contained we will aid our brothers in destroying the enemy and retaking the city.”

Nerva nods to the scouts and clatters his gauntlet against the Aquila on his chest.

“We march for Macragge!”


Only just read it back from the first time I submitted it, dialogue is clunky as anything in that second one, still was a bit of fun

Hawaii

I got a reply to my second set of briefs. And in no uncertain terms, I've been told my application will go no further. At the very least, I can say I gave it a shot. And my second set of briefs are as follows...

Throughout the enginarium, bolter fire punctuated the tocsins’ clang. At the base of the multi-story fusion reactor circling one another were Iron Hands Sergeant Haarken, clad in black and silver power armor, and an Ork boss mek, its green skin daubed blue.

In his left, Haarken wielded a chainsword. His right was a cauterized ruin, the result of his plasma pistol malfunctioning. With great show, the Ork had stowed its slugga, wielding just a massive spanner. However, it did not deactivate its personal forcefield.

Haarken dodged a double-handed backswing. Another control podium crumpled into scrap. The Ork smirked, confident it could fix it. Haarken cursed. He would end this humiliation before it caused more damage.

As the Ork parried Haarken’s chainsword, Haarken leaned into the locked weapons. Servos in Haarken’s iron black gauntlet whined. For long seconds, neither yielded, until the deckplates buckled.

Off-balance, the Ork stumbled back. Exploiting the opening, Haarken lunged. His chainsword slid through the forcefield that had dissipated his earlier shots. As he forced its whirring teeth into the Ork’s neck, blood sprayed.

Turning from the decapitated corpse, Haarken contacted his clave. One by one, nine tactical marines throughout the maze of companionways and staircases reported in. “Iron Father? Enginarium secured.” Gazing at his iron black gauntlet, Haarken thought, soon my right hand will be as strong.

An hour later, the Iron Hands had catalogued the Orks and set the ship’s course for Mu-X23, the nearest star. The quarantine cordon around forgeworld Caldecott Delta remained inviolate.


Beyond the armorglass canopy, a fraction of the kilometers-long Jericho-class pilgrimage vessel Tempest of Tribulations blotted out the stars. Scout Sergeant Cyprian slid into the co-pilot’s seat of the Thunderhawk. He folded his arms rather than rest them next to the auxiliary controls. “Still no answer?”

“None, brother-sergeant.” The pilot had eyes only for the auspex-slates and avionics panel. “We’ll be boarding in three minutes on my mark.”

Cyprian gazed at pristine crenellations and vaulted arches sheltering statuary and gun batteries.

“Mark.”

“Time to ready them then.” Cyprian rose from the co-pilot’s seat.

The scouts, secured in their grav-harnesses, turned their heads to watch Cyprian pace along the center of the transport compartment.

“A century ago, twenty-thousand souls bound in pilgrimage to Holy Terra left Talassar on the Tempest of Tribulations. We are the first to have laid eyes upon it since. Perhaps the Emperor’s light has finally shown them the way home.”

Cyprian paused at the door to the pilot’s compartment. “However, we know not its travails within the void. Understand that the knowledge you gain about this vessel and its passengers secures victory for your brother-marines who follow.”

“If those poor souls have succumbed to the Dark Powers, then render unto them the Emperor’s judgment. We march for Macragge!” The assault ramp descended. As grav-harnesses released, the scouts racked their combat shotguns. Cyprian strode down the assault ramp, his camo cloak flaring out. From either bench, the scouts slipped past stanchions in silence and blended into the darkness.

No, I'd say that your big mistake was lack of focus. It's easy to say that you'll do anything, and I bet a lot of people said the same thing, which gives you nothing to distinguish yourself from the crowd. You need to present yourself in a way that makes you stand out, be memorable, and get them to say, 'yeah, they've got what we're looking for.'

Anyway. The reason I'm posting is I just got a rejection. Straight to the point, 'did not meet standards/won't be going any further. ' With the timing, and lack of guidelines met, I wonder if this meansI made it far, or vot overlooked in the reject bin til now?
