Content We Liked: 19th May, 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

A Marine two-pack to start us off this week, starting with a take on the Space Sharks’ impractically equipped leader Tyberos. This model kicks ass, particularly with the slashed up Mantis Warrior he’s hero-rocking atop of, and the sterile cleanness of the Space Shark grey against allll that blood. Fantastic.

 

We’re always gonna feature custom chapters with neat looks here, and Pete the Wargamer provides with this cool Celtic inspired Bladeguard. The combination of Votann, Dwarfs and Wood Elf bitz really nails the theme in a subtle, understates sort of way, as does the clever use of the Vanguard Librarian body as the base for the kitbash. Slick.

 

We were already set on featuring the most recent of Natman’s space lizards on this week’s article. I mean look at it, its a raptor covered in armour and guns! Its so Dino Riders cool. And then we saw they were holding a pistol in their dinky lil raptor arm and we couldn’t slam that share button fast enough.
