Content We Liked: 15 September, 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 of this week we have a gorgeously verdant Green Knight from gshowitt on instagram. The use of one of the new Stormcast characters as the base for this conversion really gives a sense of menacing height and demeaure to the final piece, a take on the Green Knight that’s a little more true to the original tale and worryingly tangible. Awesome.

 

Remember when “Concept Armies” were all the rage a few years ago? Well this Spearhead from BWDStudios makes a good argument for them coming back. Not only do these push beyond the lazy “drybrush with a bit of airbrushing” that most of that genre tended to devolve to with the careful monochrome highlights and the wonderfully lurid greens, but these rats glow in the dark as well. Hell yeah that kicks ass!

 

Its week two of Space Marine 2’s release and boy howdy we’re struggling to tear ourselves away from it as well. Look at this fanart of Titus while we slip out the back and mush a few thousand more space bugs.
