Content We Liked: 18th Feburary, 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

 

 

Lets start this week’s instalment off LARGE, with fabio_morghot tapping into our collective love of big muscled boyz with this kitbashed Executioner for Mordheim. Using the Untamed Beast leader as a base with a whole bunch of custom sculpting to achieve that awesome “Conan goes Medieval” look, it really nails the sheer weirdness of the average Mordheim citizen. Awesome.

 

A golden double act up next, beginning with this gorgeous rendition of Primaris Dante. Beyond the excellent NMM metals across the armour and weapons, we’re really impress with just how smooth the red parts of the mini are, and how much they POP against the pale gold. Sometimes these NMM projects kinda neglect the rest of the model, but this isn’t the case here. Radiant!

 

Second part of our golden duo… goddamn. A complete repaint and touch up of the JoyToy Rogal Dorn posable figure. We’ll just let this one speak of itself, JoyToy’s sculpts are already impressive as hell, but just that little bit extra and bam, incredible.

 

Speaking of incredible, holy shit. A motorized, remote controlled Warlord Titan. The lights, the movement, the imposing figure. A real labour of love for the 41st Millenium’s coolest godmachine.
