Content We Liked: 29th September, 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

Spooky Season starts from Tuesday, and lets kick it off with a one-two-three punch of stuff I Do Not Want Anywhere Near me. Starting with this toe-curlingly long Stag from Wilhelminiatures, created from mashing together multiple cheap animal toys into a… thing that looks like it eats fingers exclusively. Splendidly unnerving!

 

Another for the clever use of animal toys files is this Warshrine of Nurgle from mutant modifier, looking kinda like the Houndeyes from Half Life with a dose of trytophobia for good measure. The front half is grotesque in all the meaty ways, but there’s just something so disturbingly ominous about that… back hole.

 

Next up is another we really hope you click through to because immaterial creations is serving up a dementedly delightful Underhive casino, looking half 2000AD and half a bad fever dream. Gotta pick this unfortunate slot-machine man however, doomed to an eternity of paying out pennies to busloads of seniors. Grim beyond imagining.

 

The final horror of this week’s line up is wondering just how patient you have to be to paint that much tartan pattern. These Highland flavoured Stormcast Questors own serious bones but good lordy it must be nerve wracking to paint so much. In terrified awe of such precision.
