Content We Liked: 14th July, 2024

Although it’s a big internet out there, the Tabletop digital universe is pretty small and spread out. In Content We Liked, we take a look at the articles, videos, podcasts, and products that caught our eyes or were noteworthy during the prior week you might have missed.

 

On the Internet at Large

Starting this week off we’ve got an absolutely delightfully cool Chaos Warhound from hedhogswingsm wired up with lights and sounds like all the best toys are. This really kicks ass, exactly the extra mile worth going for such a centrepiece model.

 

Keeping the Chaos train rolling, we’ve got this excellent Daemon Prince from @VoiceOfKosh. Take Krethusa, give her a few Prosperan accessories and a snazzy new paintjob and bam, you’ve got a striking Aspect of Magnus. What makes this one stand out is her being so… understated from the usual Daemon Prince mini, we’d love to see people take similar approaches.

On that thread of how a paintjob and a simple bitz swap can completely change the tone of a mini. Take this Gellarpox weirdo from @mousanbani, a Chaos Warrior head and some fiery tones and this servant of Nurgle looks so much more a servant of Undivided, Khorne or even Tzeentch. This kicks ass, especially for the awesome blends on the fire.

 

Surfs up-up my dudes.
