Content We Liked: 7th 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

We’re starting 2024 off LARGE with this amazing Illustrated Lancer, the massive panels of the Cerastus Knight providing the perfect canvas for some Medieval flair. Shout out to the basing as well, grounding this noble mech perfectly in the far flung feudal worlds of 40k. Verily!

 

Two for one in this package from WarpMiniatures. The Gnome itself would be worthy of a spot, but holy damn the Gniant is all kinds of silly amazing. Perfect minis, 10/10.

 

Finished: Boss Snikrot stealth mode. Adding Snikrots Test A and B.

Slipping into our third spot this week is a very cool little project. While we kinda had our fill of that deluge of decloaking Alpha Legion paintjobs from a few years back, this twist on that formula goes above and beyond by recasting the old Snikrot mini in clear plastic. Very very kunnin’!
