Is it not time to bring back "The word of Hashut"

Remember back in 2008, we had our own digital magazine?

With the new army here, and the possibilities for terrain, displays, kitbashing and conversions, not to mention fanfics, fan stories cooking in the community, I say we need to bring it back again.

We have 3D sculptures, 3rd party makers who still updating their Chaos Dwarfs stuff for WFB, Old World and AoS, so we are not left out in anyway shape or form.

I say let us bring it back! In two years we will collide with 2028, that would be The Word of Hashut 20th years anniversary and I hope we could have this renew digital magazine back up.

It really required the significant input of a small handful of people (mostly one person) and I think it was a labour of love that grew into a massive chore to sustain while having a day-job and a life outside of the hobby. We’ve talked about it off and on for years, but we don’t have critical mass at this point.

All this being said I’d love to step up and put in time… maybe once I step down from the youth sports league board I’m on and get this $300K USD budget international science conference off my to-do list I’ll have time (late 2026, anyone??)

I am up for it. We could even ask members to put up detailed battle report and we could post them as well like we had in classic white dwarfs magazine.

But what we need is a crew of people dedicated. I would totally jump in on it. With all the talents we have now, could easily make more illustrations, fan art, we could even post different color schemes people have picked up. Painting tutorials.

I don’t know if Peter George is still in here, if I remember correctly his account “HashutsBlessing” has been still for some times now.

My old Chaos Dwarf Radio friend… we had both been away for a while, I was back for a bit in 2016/2017 and reached out to him, but I was away again for an extended period when he returned and haven’t heard from him or seen him since! :persevering_face:

Took my free time to make a test for fun. I have saved the template for future use.
A new Logo for the corner with Russian Alternative since they are no loner around.
Bellow I have made a spot for the dates.

Content list will be edited for each issue.

Temporary logo, but everything else is there. The classic “The Unofficial Fan-Magazine” line, and an updated website link.

Inside on the content list I was planning on having a banner where we can credit the artists whom we use the art from for the covers. I will continue later with this.

Oh oh oh!

That would be awesome!

Besides 3D, the CD are back in AoS, so we have new “official” sculpts! And with the wisdom of this community we surely can patch the TOW Dawi-zharr that has been forgoten (once again)!

While I don’t have time to work on the actual publication I would love to contribute with articles and whatnot. I’ll be following this with interest!

Can I make a suggestion.

Have a very strict, and small, page count. Like 12-15 pages max or something.

I will keep that in mind
