The Week Ending October 19th, 2019
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:
- 40kstats.com
Website
If you haven’t been to 40kstats.com yet, it’s worth your time. It’s an incredibly valuable resource for tournament data, and something we use for our own meta analyses. Be sure to check out their podcast as well. - Ding & Dent Podcast, Episode 97 – Playing Evil
The Ding & Dent Podcast
This week Raf and Charlie have a thought-provoking conversation about games that have the players taking on the role of evil. How and where do you draw the lines, and what, if any, are the game designers’ responsibilities when creating these games? - 3D Printed Groverhaus
@BodyBuilding2 on Twitter
An old legend from the SomethingAwful forums, if you aren’t familiar with the saga of Groverhaus, it’s worth digging up. The sad tale of hubris and load-bearing drywall is guaranteed to make you laugh, and this 3d-printed recreation of man’s monument to bad decisions brought back fond memories. - Making Salamanders Mantles from Cheap Toy Dinosaurs
Jason Pease via the closed Warhammer 40k: Kill-Teams group
This is a great idea and one that immediately reminded me of BuffaloChicken’s many conversions using cheap toys.
- ArchWarhammer Banned from r/40klore
Reddit
Good riddance to a true piece of shit. Come for the feel-good story of the week, stay for the bad faith arguments about freedom of speech and people boldly declaring their departure from the subreddit as though it were an airport terminal. - Patrik Karlen’s Escher Catachans
Groetgaffel on Instagram
In another very BuffaloChicken-esque move, Patrik has been using Eschers to make some badass Catachan infantry. - Nikki Sullivan’s Awesome Chaos Knight, The Gilded King
@nikkikolls on Twitter
We’re big fans of Nikki’s work and this is just an incredibly cool paintjob. - Xavier St Amand’s Uriel Ventris Conversion
@xavmand12 on Twitter
Ventris never got enough love, despite having a pretty good series of books written about him by Graham McNeill. It’s good to see he’s still fondly remembered and getting conversions!
- 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.
On Goonhammer:
