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
It’s weirdo season in this week’s column, starting with a pair of Inquisitorial weirdos for 40k. Putting Sisters of Battle in Dreadnoughts has been a concept bandied around the playerbase for decades now, but it’s always just a classic boxdread with some fleurs stuck on it. Not so much here, this awesomely up-tooled Paragon/Penitent Engine mashup dripping with gothic flair, the right balance of serene grace and sinister brutality.
Of all the things we’ve seen Cawl form the basis for a conversion, using his weird techno belly as a head is a new take. Like our first piece, this Inquisitorial… thing hits that perfect balance of gothic beauty and cruel brutality that makes for good 40k weirdness. Whatever this thing… is, it absolutely hurts to be.
Abraxxia? Nah that ain't me. FABULOUS BILL. 👨🏻⚕️
Big shout-out to @warhammer for sending over the new Slaves To Darkness box. I had an absolute riot making this nightmare.#adwip #warhammercommunity pic.twitter.com/d1GKjGILQd

Taking a swerve away from the Imperium for a moment, we have this gorgeously converted Chaos abomination using the brand new Abaxia kit from Age of Sigmar. A Helstrider head, a whole bunch of greenstuff and a worryingly fleshy colour scheme and bam, the perfect mount for Fabius Bile to steal your limbs.
Swerving allll the way out of 40k and into the realm of Blachitsu we have some skeleton weirdos to close out this week’s showcase. Y’just can’t hate a bunch of lil’ scuttling friends made out of bones, look at them rattle away! The perfect pet for any vile Lich.
