Anyone know more about this?

I noticed that they hadn't updated it in months, so they probably just gak-canned the whole thing.

Worth noting that their webteam is currently hiring, so it's probably just on hold until they can get some more staff to deal with it.

This, plus probably there will be somekind of redesign in the near future once they get staffed.

Call me a noob, but what exactly was the Astronomican (not in the 40k universe, but on the website) and what did it do again?

It's their online catalog of articles that they've put up on the site for the past year or so. Painting guides, scenarios, etc. A few good articles on there. Glad I downloaded all of the ones I want from there a while ago.

It also featured 'up & coming' things but as we aren't allowed to know what's coming next any more they've probably just divided to shut it down.
The last thing on there was some nonsense about fantasy orcs.
