The Druchii Herald

Post by Lodark »

There hasn't been a new issue since May '07!


Is anyone in the process of writing the next issue or has it been abandoned?

I don't think that there is currently one in the works, but you may wanna double check with Kala on this.

Lack of material, lack of dedicated people working on it.

Linda: Perhaps with the new book coming out we can bring it back? I was never able to work on it before but I always enjoyed reading it and would be happy to help.

I'm also willing to offer up my services in helping. I think bringing it back for the new release would be a good idea.

People need to get involved, so put your name down and be sure to come up with some good ideas ;).

We can't really bring it back without a fair number of people keeping at it for a reasonable period of time.

I'd be more than willing to do tactics articles (hell if the monkey's at WD can do it so can I!) or Battle Reports...

I'd happily write fluff articles, or anything. Could even come up with some House Rules for characters etc.

General Kala is the one handling everything about the Herald. So why dont you write up some stuff and submit to him? I am sure he will be delighted to get cracking again.

First I want to say that it is rewarding to hear that you enjoyed the work we did publish. But here's the low-down on the current situation.

We were going to produce a new issue at the end of last year. The deadline was early November. When that rolled around, we only had three completed articles - two of which were written by me (the last chapter of Flesh and Blood and a Sorceress conversion), and a deployment tactica that heavily referenced another deployment tactica article that didn't get completed.

Realistically, that's not a full magazine. So, in all honesty, I lost my enthusiasm to complete it.

As to whether there will be another one, this is a hard call. Yes, the new Dark Elf release would certainly breathe new life back into the magazine. The new Dark Elf army is going to command respect and will need new tactica, new bat reps, and new creative inspirations that all of you here at d.net are uniquely suited to provide. Sometimes the crew at GW can't see the forest for the trees with their armies (the stupidly overpowered new VC certainly attests to that). We represent the real players on the ground far better than they ever could, because we are the real players on the ground.

But I'm not sure I have the stomach for another round of unfulfilled promises and unconstructive criticism. The stuff that we hand out to the world has to be of the highest quality we can muster. I can't produce everything myself (the layout alone soaks up hours upon hours of my free time). And don't even get me started about the complaining.

Long story short, I don't know whether we'll bring it back. Your enthusiasm is nice to hear. But you'll have to forgive my skepticism when I say that I've heard that story before.

So all I can say is - show me. Present your work to me with the full knowledge that I may have to come back and say "not good enough". If you guys can create something that is worthy then we can have a magazine. If not...

Sorry if I come across as heavy handed, but that's all I'm left with.
Because anyone vicious enough to shoot down her own battlecruiser because there might be a traitor at the helm deserves to have a Druchii namesake.
