Content We Liked: 21st January, 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

Happy Old World release week nerds! Lets start this return to the 00’s off with the ittiest, bittiest lil Damsel you’ll ever see. It’s Draconian Minis back at it again painting something the size of a penny better than any of us can paint a regular sized mini. Goddamn the patience it must have took to get the NMM on the grail alone, incredible.

 

Speaking of cool throwbacks, rokksville brings us a homage to one of the early RT era releases with a new spin on the original “Female Space Warriors”, through a slick combination of Stormcast, Horus Heresy and Necromunda parts, all wrapped up in a Blanchian rendition of the Lamentors heraldry. Insanely cool piece.

 

Sometimes Lenoon dumps something into our CWL folder and we have no idea what we’re looking at. It’s a tank? Skeleton? A skeletank? It’s certainly something that’s for sure, a cool something that looks like it trundled off of Phil Tippett’s workbench, groaning and creeking, cackling as it fires its gun. And you can invite it into your home through the magic of 3d printing!

 

Oh hell yeah. What’s more rad than a Squigosaur? A Squigosaur mashed together with a three wheel chopper. Just hell yeah, HELL YEAH.
