Content We Liked: 22nd December, 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

Tis the festive season, so we’re kicking this week’s instalment of CWL with the perfect angel for the top of your tree. reventabe_r on Instagram has taken The Sanguinor and with some clever reposing has completely flipped the vibes from an ascending, benevolent angel to a descending, vengeful one. Top it off with a slick NMM paint scheme and its a damn cool figure.

Battletech Diorama – “Brutal Punch”

Its not often we get Battletech submissions for CWL, but when we do they’re always pretty spectacular. This piece is no exception, the tussling mechs having such a dynamic flow to their movement and the perfect amount of wear and tear to really bring the old artwork to life.

 

Last up we’ve got a submission from Lenoon that’s not utterly horrifying! Rather we have this gorgeously grim little shrine from pat.lore on Instagram. This would have already made the cut for the amazing Warhammer-fied Medieval tableaus freehanded onto the thing, but its doors actually opening is just a touch of whimsy that makes it right into our hearts.
