The Week Ending January 4th, 2020
Happy New Year! Although it’s a big internet out there, the Warhammer 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. Here’s what we liked this week:
In the Wild:

A cool Fire Warrior inspired by the artwork for the old PS2 game, which you may remember us subjecting Jon Bernhardt to a while back. - Aspiring Champion with Hand Flamer

Damien’s wonderfully painted Deathwatch Kill Team just ooze character and reminds me why I started doing Deathwatch in the first place. - 2nd Edition Blood Angel
@Two_Thin_Coats via Twitter
We’ll miss Duncan’s work with Games Workshop but we’re eager to see what he does next. His classic 2nd edition Blood Angel was a fun send-off. - Jake Ozga’s Nurgle Daemons and Traitor Guard
@Ex_Profundis via Twitter
Jake’s Daemons and Traitor Guard are wonderfully gross. - Coda’s Painting Stream
Twitch
Coda streams at weird hours owing to being in Australia, but it’s worth your time to stop in on his stream when you can. He recently did a near 24-hour marathon stream with the new Sisters of Battle box.
