I have a science fiction horror novel. Tons of body horror and existential alien dread. Think Event Horizon, Dead Space and the Alien series. Who publishes sci-fi horror? Which agents want it? What do I do with this cavalcade of gross fleshy terror on my hard drive?

Are these scaled-up Firstborn dudes? I like the idea of mixing the armour marks without any wonky scaling issues.

Crisis of faith about the current writing project. Thinking about drastically trimming the middle section.

I am scared AI will take my job not necessarily by writing better than me, but by shrinking creative industries to a fraction of their current need for writers. The idea of becoming obsolete is chilling.

Fancy reading about some rich & powerful assholes getting killed in horrible ways? How about as a narrative poem? Well, it just so happens I wrote exactly that and you can find it here... amzn.eu/d/0iy15yDk

Do people Kickstart books? If they do, is it just special editions of existing successful books, or do writers use it as a pre-order/hype system so as to not get lost in the mire of Amazon titles?

For the record I very much enjoy this approach to miniature painting. A key aspect of the hobby, more so the longer I do it, is that we can do whatever we want.

The wargame ‘Labyrinth’, about the War on Terror, covers a similarly contentious subject, and while it does it very well I would understand someone being uncomfortable with it. Similarly, I feel unsure about the many WWII games where one player can control, for instance, the SS.

Wargamers: Paint schemes reflect the lore of the game and should be consistent, repeatable and researched to make a game into a microcosm of the game world.

My favourite Warhammer quote applies here: ‘Camouflage is the colour of fear.’

I want a cooperative miniatures wargame. There are skirmish and dungeon crawler-type games, but I want either a whole army’s worth of cooperating units vs a game-controlled army, or multiple heroes vs big complex bad guys like boss fights in an MMO.

The new model rules although I admit I had a soft spot for his power hammer with a fist on it. I’ve not kept up with a lot of the current background, but remember that 40K has both future tech and magic so nobody has to stay dead.

Literally nothing is more Warhammer than wearing bright red in battle to convey your contempt of the enemy.
