nice, I can just see a imperial reading this

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

Don't start yet! Remember folks....Safety First.
I recommend contacting GW before you get way too deep in. Would just break my heart if you fully completed this masterpiece of Nerdy Nudeness, only to have a sheriff show up at your door and hand you a court summons so that GW's Lawyers can proceed to shove Codex: Suing-you-into-oblivion down your throat.

Just thought I should be the voice of reason in this haze of awesome-fog. But...I know we all eagerly await the first edition

I'm happy to contribute letters to the editor, I promise ejaculating bolters, volcano cannons and boarding torpedoes in every one!

And feel free to yoink from the 'Ask Teh Space Emporer' thread in my sig.

Man, this thread is all sorts of win.

I would love to see The Real Women of Cadia like the playboy women of Starbucks and what not.

Great stuff, love the article blurbs on the covers , and the covers of course.

I would be happy to do a Top wargear style articles from a Tau techie perspective (earth caste team kinda like a combo of Top gear and myth busters )

Anyway keep up the fun stuff.

Oh! In the story Gunheads, there is a part that references a porno magazine with what it describes as "hard faced Cadian women stripping out of military uniforms". Might be of some use to know that.

No waiting needed, if they throw a fit we shall make it an underground publication, they will not be able to stop us!

If you need someone to do some writing, I aspire to be a creative type.

I hope the next issue has a safe guide to Power-Fisting.

This has to be one of the best things on Dakka. More please!

This made me literally "lol"

i sense slaanesh being somewhere behind the publication of these magazines

I buy it for the articles.

Honest.


Cain also refers to confiscating girly mags but they're from Valhallans and he can't quite see that they're terribly feminine iirc

I agree!

I think i found my new favorite magazine.

H.B.M.C. wrote:I hope the next issue has a safe guide to Power-Fisting.

LOL - consider it done

I don't think GW will be too concerned - if anything they should approach us and buy the idea so they can replace the waste of paper that is White Dwarf with something worthwhile

Images, and a lack of cash to obtain them, will be the main problem - oh for a big lottery win

If only one had the money and access to their IP - I think a true fictional publication (cosplay photoshoots and all) would be immense and (as far as I'm aware) groudbreaking - I know I'd buy it over WD anyway

In the mean time I've been looking for a lot of cosplay stuff and found this piece of epic win:

I'll update my first post/the thread in due course, with a recruitment poster, and the various editorial positions up for grabs - I see no reason why we shouldn't have a go to get at least 1 issue made

I thought it might be cool to have an underlying story line with the Inquisition pursuing the producers of this licentious & heretical material, I've already got some ideas for regular features and look forward to any and all contributions

Basically it'll follow the Playboy format - not too difficult really...

I'll set up a dedicated email address and start a wordpress site or something when I can

Thanks for all the feedback and interest guys - it means a lot to me

Thats because this is so epic!
Nerdgasm

Agreed. This thread is all kinds of win! Lets make it a reality people!

One question: is this going to be a semi-serious attempt at creating an in-universe magazine, or is it going to be something Kid Kyoto would find funny?

If it's the former, I'll contribute.

I think that kind of heresy needs to be burned...clearly showing foul xenos scum on the cover is against the emperor's wish.

Not if they are hot Dark Eldar it ain't!

this thread gave me a quick idea to doodle. Would this still be considered heretical, I wonder?

I see nothing wrong there.

I'm curious as to why she has no chest.

Never mind, I think she has one, just curves are hidden by the arm

I'd say semi-serious - the actual content is obviously a satirical look at 40k - but would be feasible enough as well - just imagine a very disgruntled, knowledgable staff - ex-guard, perhaps ex-adepts - who knows, perhaps it's even funded by a chaos aligned Governor or the like - it'll be fun to work out a fictional backstory for the editorial staff and drop hints of it within the publication.

I think the general point is that humans are human, even in 40k, and even under the harsh rule of the Imperium. So there's still going to be (and is) political corruption, pornography, general interest in the forbidden (which in the Imperium is a lot of stuff) - so where there's demand there's always going to be supply. Which is where we come in

It's clearly a heretical publication - thus the Heresy stamp on the cover. I had some idea that the producers would be like pirate radio - perhaps travelling around on a space hulk? If you look at the years on the covers you'll notice a significant gap between some of them, several years at least. It would take a long time to get articles together, given the distance between systems and with an Inquisitorial pursuit to boot, not to mention some of the reporters who would get killed. I imagine a lot of subterfuge and con-artists - posing for the local propoganda machine to get interviews with the higher ups of the guard etc...

It's hard to figure out exactly what it'll look like - obviously lots of ads and propoganda and the like - but also lots of odd articles - I like the idea of some Bloodaxe Ork discovering a copy and then writing in and the publishers going "Why not?"

I'm still working on some particulars but all ideas are welcome at this stage.

@marauder6272 - That's not heretical - it's content!

we SHOULD make a dakka webzine guys

Kind of looks like sarah kerrigan/nova

Here are some column ideas for the 'zine :
- Ork article (written the ork way of course!)
- babe of the month (some sexy fan art -dark eldar, sister of battle, whatever- with maybe an interview?)
- "matt ward"-esque fan fictions
- real news turned into w40k news by changing some words (like, some president -> chapter master or something)

There are probably tons of silly stuff we can find
