Content We Liked: 21st July, 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 Age of Sigmar release weekend! Lets start this off with this spectacular Lord Veritant from the new Skaventide/Release Boxes. Supremely smooth Non-Metallic Metals and On Source Lighting? Together? theminiaturista is damn well spoiling us.

 

 

From the other side of this edition’s poster factions, we have this absolutely sick Skaven contraption from RobHawkinsHobby. A gloriously precarious amalgamation of kits, this is exactly the kind of centrepiece that’d grace the pages of White Dwarf battle reports and Codex full page spreads back in the day and it’s waking up all those imagination-sparking feelings.

Oh hell yeah. LEGO mechs are always cool as hell, and its extra cool to see the Battletech designs rendered in a new medium. Annnnd it’s fully articulated and its claws open and its cockpit is fully modelled goddamn its such a cool piece.
