Content We Liked: 14th January, 2023

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.

Starting this week’s roundup of cool stuff, we have a very fun tool for miniature painters, roleplayers and worldbuilders alike. Amoria randomly generates knightly heraldry from a massive database of designs, symbols and layouts, then allows you to tweak and edit those to an incredible degree. Perfect for those of you who’ve picked up the re-released Bretonnians and are looking to fill out your Errantry Crusade with a cavalcade of noble splendour.

dumb robot stuff is at it again, giving us this charmingly clanky, oil-stained lovechild between an Armiger and an Onagar. Honestly, if you didn’t know anything about Warhammer you’d guess this badboy was for its own Weird War wargame, and that owns.

 

You know who’s cool? Heresy-era White Scars. And who’s the coolest White Scar? Our boy Targutai Tesugei, brought to miniature life here in a collaboration between Anphiarus and Black Ark Miniatures for this heavily greenstuffed up custom mini of the Scar’s iconic Totally Not A Psyker, Stop Asking Questions wizard man.
