Content We Liked: 20th October, 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 off with a taste of Orktober, with Darcy’s kitbashed Breaka Boy for the upcoming Kill Team Tankbustas faction. We’ll never get tired of people converting the Blood Bowl kits into units for 40k and AoS, and Orks certainly get the best looking results. A real Bully Boy if there ever was one.

 

Draconian Minipainting returns with another tiny scale project, this one combining an Epic Scale marine figure with a regular scaled Ripper for a monumentally awesome diorama. We’d love to see more like this using the various lil’ guys of the Warhammer universe. Giant Grots anyone?
