The devs of Ace Combat 8 forgot to put in a bunch of carrier capable planes. They can't stop me.

Oh so there IS a bug with the last mission/last enemy of Ace Combat 8 that prevent you from beating it. No wonder i couldn't complete it until restarting the game and the mission.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Looked into the "Games Workshop generates more revenue than the UK fishing industry" and alas, it is not true (and especially not if including seafood trade). There's been variants of that floating for a year, like more profitable or worth more (as a company on the stonk market).

My no spoilers review of Ace Combat 8 after playing all missions: Get Project Wingman instead

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Day 124 as Wings, callsign "Buffalo". No one ever asked me my name, or what I was doing here. Now I'm just, chicken tender, dipped in sauce every day. One hundred and twenty-four days since the Cylons attacked in really sick huge motorcycle fortresses. Now we're all eating caviar. War is hell.

The big hat and skulls society cordially invites you to a snowy, bone chilling wonderland. When? Oh, its comin', real soon. If you live in the right kind of place. Otherwise? Mushland. Or summer I suppose, if its far south enough. Lucky bastards.

October be upon us, but for me every month is october. Hmm.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Cool, like the imperial bastion then. Makes for easier transportation + flexibility in setting it up.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

An adjacent tower/bunker piece that shows up in a few places during 2nd edition, this one in the Imperial Guard Codex in the big spread (right next to the ruined chapel+the 2 extra arches). The battle damage makes it easy to spot in other pictures/places.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Some detail shots/other angles of it in the same WD. And familiar battle bunkers/bastions. One or two might be a bit different in configuration from yours. Also featuring that flat-paper shrine, but it does have some detailing inspiration.

110

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

White Dwarf 212 does have this not-ruined Shrine, and some sort of bunker-tower in the background. Same paint job as the ruins, and the supporting structures look a match too.

110

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Alright, will figure out something to go with that main ruin piece for company! Its funny when one notices these terrain pieces pop up for like 10 years in all the WDs, Codex and promo photos, even if its just a little corner or backside.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

A 40K Sister of Battle piece I did before the recent temporal displacement.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Came across your excellent terrain pieces, and the ruined Chapel recently. Did notice some adjacent pieces/arches while trawling old White Dwarfs, not sure if you've re-made them? I think they ended up being converted into some Mordheim gateway in the late 90ies by the studio.

130

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

White Dwarf 95 for most of these, but all the WDs in the 90-100 range is worth a look at. Lots of good articles. Rogue Trader is teased in WD92 and then get its big intro in WD93. Warhammer Fantasy 2nd edition+the TTRPG gets a lot of room too.

White Dwarf 92 teaser for the upcoming 40K. Autumn of 1987.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Anyhow, here's the origin photo of Blanche on his Suzuku LS650 for the illustration in the first post of this thread. Blanches stated age in this article appear to be a lie, if he was born in 1948 (and the article is from 1987/88). Or this replicant Blanche may still be out there.

110

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Did come across the famous Hover Tank Shampoo article (not long after Rogue Traders release, in terms of issues), but hadn't seen the follow on pages featuring... Zoids?

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

John Blanche is quite the hobby goblin in these articles. Or maybe a gremlin. There's a few full spreads of his converted minis of the (actual) metal minis from the 80ies, quite impressive.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I compiled this from some articles featuring John Blanche in his late 30ies.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

This weekend I went through issue 50 to 100 of White Dwarf, forgetting that it was mainly a DnD/RPG zine between 1977-1986 or so. Even Warhammer Fantasy was a bit scarce until right before the big Rogue Trader push. Fun to see the evolution over the years.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Findkng a bunch of lovely hobby terrain designs and then realizing I dont have anywhere to store that kind of stuff. Curse you, physical reality.

The city of Ord. I may have been overambitious in drawing this one in a day.

Cover art trials round up with some older ones too.

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Chinas CXMT (outside the RAM cartel trio) is doubling production every year lately, gunning for 20% of global RAM market within a year or so funded entirely by current bubble money. Add the other bubble bursting and things should get a lot better for us peasants eventually.

Alt Cover H, right behind you.

Alt Cover G, switching things up again

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

The trio image layout aint ideal for cover format

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Been spending some time drafting more cover designs for Fencer Slain. I should settle on one and spend more time on the chosen one, but choice paralysis got me in its firm grip. (there's a lot more than these three)

Leflair @leflair.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Got one out of 6 mech designs to do for my latest commission batch. For now they shall remain a ~secret~ until its all done. You can see one of my older green/teal themed batches.

Sometimes I go as far as peak in my big folder of stuff to watch "Have I watched this? When did I get this..." *file date: 2018* "...well that wasn't that long ago"
