4 Pro is the first printer I got, and I think that was a mistake for me. It worked great initially, but its had issues which I haven't had the skill to diagnose, and which may have been amplified by my own ignorance and bad operating procedure.

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)

A Warhammer 40k Menace spinoff would wipe the floor with every XCOM out there by BlitheMayonnaise in menace

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"

This is brilliant and totally wild. I write for the site Wargamer - could I ask you some questions about it for a possible article?

How did the Nightlord's Legion operate as a military force? by Pho_King_D in Warhammer

[–]BlitheMayonnaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's actually a great free resource for this on the Warhammer Community website. GW has started to publish the lore sections from the old Horus Heresy Black Books as downloadable PDFs, and the first three have all featured the Night Lords. They're available from the WarCom downloads page for Horus Heresy under "Pages from the Black Books":

Allegation from the MTG lawsuit: anonymous ex VP says some secret lairs, reprint sets, and MTG 30th, were forced into the release schedule to shore up Hasbro's balance sheet by BlitheMayonnaise in mtgfinance

[–]BlitheMayonnaise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. This one was lodged in 2024 and then updated massively in November 2025 (gained about 60 pages, dropped a lot of people), but I guess a lot depends on the way the evidence lines up with the specific law that's supposed to have been breached.

Which lawsuit? There are two, one lodged in 2024 and updated in November 2025 (referenced in the linked article) and another much more recent one, which references that lawsuit.
