The long-threatened newsletter of the Sigmarite Inquisitorial something-or-other has at last arrived! Ignore it at your peril...

Those of you that were around for the War of Ostermark Succession campaign will remember the vast quantities of artwork that accompanied our publications, the majority of this was public domain woodcuts and engravings from history. With Crisis in Marienburg we plan on tapping our usual resources for artwork but also would like to incorporate some original pieces, and we thought that there would be no better place to go for such work than to the online community.

The task we set out is to create an original work of visual art based upon the background presented on the Crisis in Marienburg website. The official rules for the contest are posted below, we hope to be very open in the works we accept in both medium and style.

When the contest closes the entries will be judged and the winners recognised for their work. Any entry that we feel is suitable will have a chance to be included in official campaign publications.


Official Contest Rules
The Task:
To create an original work of art based upon the background set for the Crisis in Marienburg Campaign.

The Medium:
Pretty much any sort of 2D art that you can think of; painting, drawing, photography, digital art, etc. are all good for this.

The Submission:
Though work may be created via non-digital means, the submitted version must be a digital copy.

The following formats will be accepted: JPG, PNG, PSD.

Please try to keep your submitted work to under 10MB.

Some of you may remember that quite a wile ago Warhammer-Empire.com had a chat feature. This was an IRC channel hosted by The Warhammer Forum which we were graciously allowed to use on our site as well.

This feature is now back, and can be accessed here:

Just click the link and you will be taken to a java-based chat, often filled with lots of other Warhammer Players.

The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, but be sure to behave, you are representing this site after all!
