The Invocation - Issue #1

[Disciple of Nagash]

Well we finally did it!

I am very pleased and proud to announce the release of the first issue of The Invocation.

A lot of hard work and effort has been put into this issue, and I hope you all enjoy it. The issue (if pdf format) can be found at here:

We would of course love feedback - providing it is of a constructive nature of course. Please let it here in this thread.

Looks good DoN! Serious kudos to Zephyr for his work too, as well as the rest of the staff!

I've posted links on Chaos Dwarfs Online, Rites of War, the Wisconsin Warhammer site, and the Illinois Warhammer site.

Looks really good and Professional, I haven't had time to read it all (but i will) but the stuff I have read is really well written, There are some really useful and helpful articals in there.

Also I suggest with the medals you make one for anybody who helped or contributed to the Invocation E-zine as you all deserve one.

I will look forward to reading the rest.

Great work! Huzza for the new E-zine!

I hope that people from other forums check this out as well!

I really liked the articles you've included, they were all really professional and fun to read. My favourites was the painting tutorial by TDS and the monstermash by ergo-sum, good work! Now hurry up and get the next one done!

 

[Onikaigo]

Kudos to all that wrote in this!

Tactica was excellent, I liked the breakdown of the different core units. It highlighted a lot of key points that we've all brought up on occasion, and really brought home the understanding of the corpses we command. Good stuff!

the artwork and layout was amazing, thank you thank you thank you for not going clicheic and predictable with it! ^^ I'm impressed, over all.

The only complaint I have is a few homophones were out of place. "loose' instead of "Lose', etc. That's the only mistake I saw in the entire issue. ^^


Three cheers, huzzah!

Always good to see more ezines out there. I'll be reading it tonight...

 

[Sirbrendan]

I really enjoyed "Invocation". There was a lot of good stuff for a first time VC player, such as myself.

 

[Josef]

Looks good guys but i would like to see more modelig related stuff but you know me all about the modeling =P...

 

[lord marcus]

i am so glad it could get out, i am reading it now, and i am doubly ready to work on the cnext one, and i again apologize for my lack of time.

 

[Bishop]

Haven't read through it all yet, but looks good so far.

Good layout, simple and readable (unlike the 1st issues of some other e-zines, which were virtually unreadable due to PDF size, poor rendering, scrolling issues, etc).

Look forward to reading it all!! Conga rats.

 

[Soren]

"Painting Skeletons" is an awesome article. If mine look half that good, I will be ecstatic.

 

[Arion]

I must say Zephyr, amazing formatting! I love the cover.

 

[Kaladas Harkon]

Can't read it, I get an error message saying: "File does not begin with %PDF-".

 

[Master Vampire]

Indeed, great stuff. Too bad I haven't had time to help out, been very busy!

Looks professional, Zephyr. Great work on that.

Haven't had much time to read it, but I'm very tempted. I didn't expect it to be nearly 60 pages long, though!

Very nice ergo-sum, that monster mash article !

 

[Ergo-Sum]

Cheers MV and Onikaigo, just hope it's what people are looking for

I love the look of it too. Going to try to read it a bit more in depth over the weekend. Most looking forward to the painting and green stuff modelling articles, I really need the help on those!

 

[Marcus Von Drac]

Wow!!! I mean really, Wow. That is just amazing. I had no idea this was here, and now that I've looked at it, it has just blown me away. It is truly amazing. It's awesome that members of CN made this, and I can't wait to see the next one, although I know I'l have to...

 

[The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy]

Argh! Damm you Mac! It won't open The screen just stays grey

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Fluffy - check your PMs

 

[Kaladas Harkon]

I'm trying it on my Mac and it won't open either; it shows the error message I posted above.

 

[Master Vampire]

Isn't Acrobat Reader pro-Windows?

If so, you're doomed

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

No, you can Mac users can download it here:

[SeldoM]

Great job on the new e-zine...I skimmed through it earlier and it looked excellent. Nice work on the layout too!

 

[Kaladas Harkon]

No luck; Adobe's already installed on here. Still getting the error message.

 

[Lord Fear]

Great work guys! It's got everything you could want in an eZine, and I like the way you tie it into the website as well, so it's not just a standalone publication. I'm really impressed by it all, such great efforts!

Battle report was a bit flimsy, shame there were no pictures or maps- though I'm sure we'll manage a more elaborate one next time (setting a high standard for myself there). A final "coming next time" could also be nice to keep people eager for the next issue!

 

[Willmark]

For the mac users simply try downloading it rather then opening it; worked for me on 2 different macs.
