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 off this week with a lil’ bit of stop motion. We’ve seriously fallen in love with JoyToy’s line of Warhammer 40k figures and it’s seriously cool to see them utilized this way, no small amount of effort was put into this and it shows with how smooth the action is. Well worth a watch.

A horrifying prospect for our next entry. We dread the day that Tyranids absorb the average Summer wasp and no picnic is ever safe again. Until then we can admire this lushly vibrantly yellow Norn Emissary from a safe distance behind a glass door.

Man, this is one seriously rad Jedi Master. Not just the gorgeous OSL from the lightsaber, but the subtle crosshatching on his robes and the slick but understated NMM for his armour. Just… look at it.
At the Clash of Kings tournament last weekend I got randomly drawn against my friend Tim from the Plymouth Kings of War scene and he had such a belter of an army I want to share it with you. First, behold this: Hieronymous Bosch's 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' (panel 3) pic.twitter.com/TlMDz2znUC

A real special CWL for you to finish off this week’s community entries as CWL favourite @realironhand showcases their friend Tim’s utterly delightful Kings of War Nightstalker army, a recreation of many of the bizarre denizens of hell from Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights. Seriously just click through and read it, can’t stress how much we want to see this menagerie of madness in person.
