Kite fighters do everything they can to bring down the kites of their opponents — including using strings doused with wax, or sharp materials like glass or quartz, which turn kite lines into razors.
Once a string plummets from the sky, it becomes a hazard for pedestrians, motorcycle riders, and vehicles, with the potential to cause grievous injuries. In February, legislators began discussing a nationwide ban on the sharp kite lines — already outlawed in 15 states and over a dozen municipalities across Brazil in the last few years, in some cases as early as 2001. But content creators have fueled a black market where the kite lines remain readily available.

Some good April Fool's Jokes, including this genuine free RPG supplement, and a SHFiguarts figure I believe is real
This is real, by the way. I keep seeing people go "If this was real..." when the PDF is for download right there.

Want to remind @Criterion that they posted this April Fools Blu-ray cover in 2012 and it was one of the best covers they've ever come up with and they should do it for real. pic.twitter.com/irAulx7ewl

Robert Jackson Bennett's novel "The Tainted Cup" is a fantastic page turner
It's not a Warhammer novel, but feels very much like a police procedural featuring an Inquisitor's new apprentice helping to unravel a murder mystery in a seaside city that's also fearing the imminent arrival of a kaiju. Basically a cozy mystery set in the (old) Warhammer universe. It grabbed me immediately and I tore through it.
Also, I've see it in described as "hugepunk."
Available at Amazon, although I read it via the excellent Libby app.
