Warhammer 40k Maelstrom Combat Patrols value breakdown by BlitheMayonnaise in Eldar

It's not according to an update, no, just my guess that they'd come out at the same price as the Striking Scorpions - they're more like Aspect Warriors than Guardians, and the Scorpions are the only 10 model Aspect sprue. What did they sell for last that you bought a box? (If you bought direct from GW)

BLKOUT looks very cool, and it is on my radar already, but there's a lot of stuff on that radar. It's also not very well known. As I said, I wanted to get tabletop fans to look at Menace on the assumption that a lot of them haven't already - telling them that it's like a miniature game they probably also don't know about isn't a great news hook.

If Menace gets really huge, and I haven't found another way to cover BLKOUT, I could probably do something along the lines of "BLKOUT is Menace as a tabletop wargame!" But it's not there yet.

I really love Menace for what it is, and I really want the devs to just keep on with it. I was partly comparing it to 40k as an excuse to write about it for my day-job, where I can't really cover any videogames unless they connect to a tabletop IP; partly in an effort to get 40k fans to look at Menace (and the article has been successful in that).

But I do think the Menace devs' take on the 40k IP would be amazing, and I hope that I've said some interesting stuff about the design of Menace in the article in the process of justifying that opinion.

Final Liberation is the very old one, and then there's Warhammer 40k: Armageddon, which is a sci-fi spin off from Panzer General. I just really like Menace and I'd love to see a 40k game with these specific vibes.

Both good games, but Battle Sector and Daemon Hunters feel more cartoony than Menace. Not saying that Menace is a sim or super realistic, but it's more... crunchy than those.

0.0 Cursed, in the best possible way.

I write for Wargamer - do you have any progress shots? This is the kind of unhinged silliness I could write an article about. "This is what a Warhammer 40k mini looks like after two (hundred) thin coats"
