Fanatic Online
Fanatic Online was a free online-magazine devoted to the miniature games of Games Workshop's Specialist Games division. It was launched in 2004 by Fanatic Press in printed form as Fanatic Magazine before being distributed digitally for the rest of its run. It replaced the numerous game specific hobby magazines (such as Town Cryer and the Battlefleet Gothic Magazine) that were published at the time.
Fanatic Online was cancelled in 2008 after all content related to Specialist Games was relocated to Games Workshop's official website.
